This ghazal of the great Mehdi Hassan Saab penned by Saleem Kausar Saab is very close to my heart owing to its very deep meaning and the inimitable style of its presentation by the great Khan Saab! It has continued to be in my everyday menu ever since I had listened to it for the first time a couple of years back ! Three cheers for the great Mehdi Hassan Saab for this beautiful bandish ! Irfan Gabol Saab deserves credit for uploading this rare treat ! --. Amarendra Borah, Former Commissioner and Secretary, Finance Department, Govt Of Assam (India).
Mehdi Hassan, a top-class artiste in modern ghazal singing. Modern means- Keeping a balance between poetry and melody. He improvised in this item with skills and keeping the words in the best pronunciation. He is my GURU and on his kind desire, I composed three items in his voice. The ghazals of Ahmad Faraz, Syed Saleem Gillani, and Aslam Ansari- Are available on youtube. Regards.
