Had met him at Mahalaxmi race course 4 months before he passed away..still remember his voice and short conversation we had and him giving me his autograph.
इस युगके महान गज़ल गायक आदरनिय श्री. जगजीत सिंगजी को प्रणाम । दिलको छुलेनेवाली इनकी गायकी थी । सिंग सहाबने गज़लको एक नया आयाम दिया हैं । तभी तो आजके डिजिटल जमानेमेभी, उनको चाहनेवालोकी तादात बढती जा रही हैं....! जनाब जगजीत जीको विनम्र अभिवादन.......!! 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
My humble pranaams to dear Jagjit ji n chitraji......myself big fan of both of them n i hv learned many ghazals n hv sung too....jagjitji hum aapko hameshaa yaad karte hain 🙏🙏
Matla is the first sher, the root of this word is tuloo...such as in tuloo e aftab(sunrise) hence it's the first or the opening sher. Makta is the last, the end sher, the root of this word is kata..such as in kata-e taaluq(end of relationship). In the last sher the poets use their name or the literary name also called Takhallus. For isntance in this Ghazal that Jagjit ji is talking about...the Makta is "Ghalib e Khasta ke baghair, kon se kaam bund hain...Royiye zar zar kyoun, kijyey hye hye kya".
