MostTalentedArtistsOf India: Jagjit Singh - Page 2

Oh - I just love Jagjit Singh's ghazal... Romance or Pathos, his ghazals and nazms are simply the best... The live shows that I have seen of him, keep all the audience spell-bound and wondering, is this real... I think I love all his songs but some of them just stand out....

jaate jaate vo mujhe achchhii nishaanii de gayaa
umr bhar doharaauuNgaa aisii kahanii de gayaa

us se main kuchh paa sakuuN aisii kahaaN ummiid thii
Gam bhii vo shaayad baraaemeharabaanii de gayaa

sab havaayeN le gayaa mere samandar kii koii
aur mujh ko ek karatii baadabaanii de gayaa

Khair main pyaasaa rahaa par us ne itanaa to kiyaa
merii palakon kii kataaron ko vo paanii de gayaa

Baat Nikalegee To Phir Duur Talak Jaayegee
Log Bewajah Udaasee Kaa Sabab Poochhenge
Ye Bhee Poochhenge Ke Tum Itnee Pareshaan Kyoon Ho
Oongliyaan Uthengee Sookhe Huye Baalon Kee Taraf
Ek Nazar Dekhenge Guzre Huye Saalon Kee Taraf
Choodiyon Par Bhee Kai Tanz Kiye Jaayenge
Kaanpate Haathon Pe Bhee Fikre Kase Jaayenge

Log Zaalim Hain Har Ek Baat Kaa Taanaa Denge
Baaton Baaton Mein Meraa Zikr Bhee Le Aayenge
Unakee Baaton Kaa Zaraa Saa Bhee Asar Mat Lenaa
Warnaa Chehre Ke Taasur Se Samajh Jaayenge
Chaahe Kuchh Bhi Ho Sawaalaat Naa Karnaa Unse
Mere Baare Mein Koi Baat Na Karnaa Unse
Baat Nikalegii To Phir Door Talak Jaayegee

koee ye kaise bataaye ke wo tanahaa kyon hai
wo jo apanaa thaa, wahee aaur kisee kaa kyon hai
yahee duniyaan hain to fir, ayesee ye duniyaan kyon hai
yahee hotaa hain to, aakhir yahee hotaa kyon hai?

ik jaraa haath badhaa de to, pakad le daaman
us ke seene mein samaa jaaye, humaaree dhadakan
itanee kurbat hain to fir faasalaa itanaa kyon hai?

dila-ye-barabaad se nikalaa naheen abatak koee
ik loote ghar pe diyaa karataa hain dastak koee
aas jo toot gayee hain fir se bandhaataa kyon hai?

tum masarrt kaa kaho yaa ise gam kaa rishtaa
kahate hain pyaar kaa rishtaa hain janam kaa rishtaa
hai janam kaa jo ye rishtaa to badalataa kyon hai? ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------shaam se aankh mein nammi si hai
aaj phir aap ki kami si hai
shaam se aankh mein nami si hai

dafan karr do humme ke sans mille
nabaj kuch derr se thami si hai
aaj phir aap ki kammi si hai

waqt rehta nahin kahi tikk karr
iski aadat bhi aadami si hai
iss ki aadat bhi aadami si hai
aaj phir aap ki kammi si hai

koi rishta nahin raha phir bhi ek tasvir lajmi si hai
shaam se aankh mein nammi si hai
aaj phir aap ki kammi si hai ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------main bhool jaaooN tumhen, ab yahi munaasib hai
main bhool jaaooN tumhen, ab yahi munaasib hai
magar bhulaanaa bhi chaahooN to kis tarah bhoolooN
ki tum to phir bhi haqeeqat ho koi Khvaab nahin
yahaaN to dil kaa ye aalam hai kyaa kahooN, kambaKt
bhulaa sakaa naa ye vo silsilaa jo thaa bhi nahin
vo ek Khyaal jo aavaaz tak gayaa hi nahin
vo ek baat jo main kah nahin sakaa tumse
vo ek rabt jo ham mein kabhi rahaa hi nahin
mujhe hai yaad vo sab jo kabhi huaa hi nahin
agar ye haal hai dil kaa to koi samjhaaye
tumhen bhulaanaa bhi chaahooN to kis tarah bhoolooN
ki tum to phir bhi haqeeqat ho koi Khvaab nahin

I just want to mention here that Ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh did 'Gham ka khazana tera bhi hai mera bhi' with Lataji and not with Chitra Singh.

To get an experience of the tremendous creativity of this man, I would recommend anyone to catch hold of his earlier album with Chitraji 'Beyond Time'. The ghazal 'Lab-e-khamosh se' is from that album. Jagjitji recorded and engineered this album along with well known recording engineer Daman Sood at the internationally renowned Jacob Studio at London.

I have heard him live and I love his voice so rich in the lower frequency range. Also , he has a unique vibration (goonj) in his voice which he once mentioned to have developed with a lot of riyaz of the kharaz( when he was asked by a Saregama contestant)

I LOVE Ghazals and obviously Jagjit is the best

My All time fav ghazal is:
Yeh daulat bhi lelo, yeh shoharat bhi lelo
Bhale cheen lo, mujhse meri jawani
Magar mujhko lautado bachpan ka saawan
Woh kagaz ki kashti, woh baarish ka paani
Yeh daulat bhi lelo, yeh shoharat bhi lelo
Bhale cheen lo, mujhse meri jawani
Magar mujhko lautado bachpan ka saawan
Woh kagaz ki kashti, woh baarish ka paani
Woh kagaz ki kashti, woh baarish ka paani

Muhalle ki sabse, nishaani poorani
Woh budhiya jise, bachhe kehte the nani
Woh nani ki baton mein pariyon ka dehra
Woh chehre ki jhuriyon mein sadiyon ka tera
Bhulaye nahi, bhul sakta hain koi
Woh choti si raatein, woh lambi kahani
Woh kagaz ki kashti, woh baarish ka paani
Woh kagaz ki kashti, woh baarish ka paani

Kadi dhoop mein, apne ghar se nikalna
Woh chidiya, woh bulbul, woh titli pakadna
Woh budhiya ki shaadi pey ladna jaghadna
Woh jhulo se girna, woh girke sambhalna
Woh pital ke chaliyon ke pyaare se tohfay
Woh tooti hui, choodiyon ki nishaani
Woh kagaz ki kashti, woh baarish ka paani
Woh kagaz ki kashti, woh baarish ka paani

Kabhi ret ke, oonche keelon pe jaanaa
Gharonde banana, banake mitaana
Woh maasoom chahat ki tasveer apni
Woh khwabon, khilono ki jaagir apni
Naa duniya kaa gum tha, naa rishton ke bandhan
Badi khoobsurat, thi woh zindagaani
Yeh daulat bhi lelo, yeh shoharat bhi lelo
Bhale cheen lo, mujhse meri jawani
Magar mujhko lautado bachpan ka sawan
Woh kagaz ki kashti, woh baarish ka paani
Woh kagaz ki kashti, woh baarish ka paani
