Mehdi saab great ase awatar uper wala kabhi 2 hi bhej taa hai maine woh jagah dekhee hai jahan aha rattan paida hua thai sat 2 parnam bhagwan en ke pariwar ko sada khush rskhe
Inkee aawaj kee tulana maine kayee gajal gayakon kee ki hai lekin inake jaisa koi naheen paya maine is duniya men koi naheen hai inake jaisa gajal gayak inakee aawaj bahut madhur aawaj hai
The great Mehdi Hassan Saab had a rare GOD-gifted ability to infuse life into any Labz of the shayar owing to his magical voice and inimitable style of gayiki ! Here, in this ghazal in 'Raag Kirwani' penned by the great Ahmed Faraz, it was as if the beautiful kalam of the great Faraz Saab had found the right expression in the lips of the great Mehdi Hassan Saab ! The great Shaukat Hussain Khan Saab in tabla and the great Sultan Khan ii sarengi also performed creditably ! Fortunately, I have this ghazal in my proud possession in the form of a CD procured for my SONY Music System a few years back ! However, the instant version was a different one ! Hat's off to Khan Saab and his able accompanists for this wonderful bandish ! Nasier Ahmed Sultani Saab deserves credit for this rare upload ! -- Amarendra Borah, Former Commissioner and Secretary, Finance Department, Govt of Assam (India).
