Faasle aise bhi honge by Ghulam Ali

Faasle aise bhi honge by is one of the most famous ghazals of Ghulam Ali. The lyrics of the ghazal has a beauty which translates into melody with the superb singing of Ghulam Ali. The ghazal has been sung many a times in mahfils by Ghulam Ali. There is one characteristic of Ghulam Ali that he may be singing a sad song but he has always sung it lightly and you're spellbound by his singing. Listen one of the best songs of him:




Lyrics:

Na uda yun thokaron se meri khak-e-kabr jaalim
Yehi ek rah gayi hai mere pyar ki nishani

Faasle aise bhi honge ye kabhi socha na tha
Saamne baitha tha mere aur vo mera na tha

Woh ki khushbu ki tarah phaila tha mere chaar suu
Main usse mahsus kar saktaa tha chhu saktaa na tha

Raat bhar pichhli hi aahat kaan mein aati rahi
Jhaank kar dekha gali mein koi bhi aaya na tha

Yaad karke aur bhi takleef hoti thi adeem
Bhool jaane ke siva ab koi bhi chaara na tha



न उडा यूं ठोकरों से मेरी खाक-ए-कब्र जालिम
यही एक रह गयी है मेरे प्यार की निशानी  

फ़ासले ऐसे भी होंगे ये कभी सोचा न था
सामने बैठा था मेरे और वो मेरा न था।

वो कि ख़ुशबू की तरह फैला था मेरे चार सू
मैं उसे महसूस कर सकता था छू सकता न था।

रात भर पिछली ही आहट कान में आती रही
झाँक कर देखा गली में कोई भी आया न था।

याद कर के और भी तकलीफ़ होती थी’अदीम’
भूल जाने के सिवा अब कोई भी चारा न था।

ख़ुद चढ़ा रखे थे तन पर अजनबीयत के गिलाफ़
वर्ना कब एक दूसरे को हमने पहचाना न था।

Kuch din to baso meri aankhon mein by Ghulam Ali

Kuch din to baso meri aankhon mein, a melodious ghazal from Ghulam Ali. The ghazal appeared in many live concert albums. The beautiful lyrics of the song are written by Obaidullah Alim. Besides the tremendous singing of Ghulam Ali, the lyrics are quite simple as well as interesting. The composition has been made as simple as the lyrics of the song which perfectly convey the mood of the song.


Lyrics:

Kuch din tou baso meri aankhon main

Phir khawab agar ho jao tou kya!



Koi rung tou do mere chehray ko

Phir zakham agar mehkao tou kya!


Ik aaina tha sou toot gaya
Ab khud se agar sharmao tou kya!

Main tanha tha, main tanha hoon
Tum aao tou kya, Na aao tou kya!

Jab hum hi na mehkay phir sahib
Tum baad-e-saba kehlao tou kya!

Jab daikhnay wala koi nahin
Bujh jao tou kya, jal jao tou kya!

Sainya badesi ghar aaja re by Ghulam Ali

Sainya badesi ghar aaja re is a Mishra Des Thumri by Ghulam Ali. The song appeared in the album Saiyan Badesi Ghar Aaja Re (Thumri). Ghulam Ali , who has sung it, is prominently known for the ghazals. But he has been quite a versatile singer, who not only has sung Ghazals in semi-classical style but has some classical thumris such as Qadra na jaani and Saiyan badesi ghar aaja re. The Thumri, Saiyan badesi ghar aaja re, is in some unorthodox style and that is the best thing about it. Ghulam Ali not only has simplified the style of the thumri but also made it sound quite light (sugam sangeet style) for the people who may not understand or relish the pure classical form of Thumri. Though I couldn't find the lyricist of the song but no doubt the lyrics are simple and beautiful. 


Lyrics:
Sainya badesi ghar aaja re
Aaja re sawan mein
Mann ki talaiyya sookhi padi hai
Ek boond barsa ja re
Aaja re sawan mein
Sainya badesi ghar aaja re
Aaja re sawan mein
Tum bin laage suni sajariya
Aake saij sajaja re
Aaja re sawan mein
Sainya badesi ghar aaja re
Aaja re sawan mein
Raahon mein teri kab se khade hain
Mohe ek pal darsh dikhaja re
Aaja re sawan mein
Sainya badesi ghar aaja re
Aaja re sawan mein

Qadra na jaani ! A thumri by Ghulam Ali

"Qadra na jaani" is a traditional thumri which has been sung by Ghulam Ali. Though there is not much lyrics in the 28 minutes long thumri, it is the variation of his singing that makes it a complete song. Ghulam Ali has performed it in a different style of classical singing. He starts with the Qadra na jani and ends the thumri with Yaad piya ki aaye. There is a very good and effective use of Tabla and Saraghi. All the people who love thumri and specially like the live performance would definitely like to listen this song. 






Lyrics:

Kaga sab tan khai_yo
Mora chun chun khai_yo maans
Do naina mat khai_yo
Mohe piya milan ki aas 

Qadra na jaani mori balamwa re
Balam re... sajan...
Qadra na jani mori balamwa re

Saanjh dhale tori yaad satave
Kyun birahan ka jiyara jalaye
Sooni laage raen, O Sajanwa
Qadra na jaani mori balamwa re

Yaad piya ki aaye, 
Yeh dukh saha na jaaye
Haye ram
Bairi koyeliya kook sunaye,
Sun sun mora jiyara jalaye
Pii bin raen daraye
Yaad piya ki aaye

Huzoor jaai_ye 
Gairon ke mehman rahiye
Mizaaz chahe jahan aapka wahan rahiye
Woh unhe yaad kare_n 
Jisne bhulaya ho kabhi 
Hamne unko na bhulaya na kabhi yaad kiya 
Yaad piya ki aaye



Bairi koyeliya kook sunaye,
Sun sun mora jiyara jalaye
Pii bin raen daraye
Yaad piya ki aaye
