Phir bhi.. what is your favorite ghazal that was sung by any famous singer?
Habib Wali MoHammd's: "shamsheer brahana maang Ghazab" AUR Abida Parveen's "zaahid ne meraa Haasil-e-iimaaN nahiiN dekhaa" among others.
Uncle why do you like this ghazal? whats your favorite shair of the ghazal?
It is probably the finest ghazal written by Ahmed Faraz, such depth in each shair. Tke poet has expressed the feelings of someone who is pinning for his/her loved one to return and presents so many reason/excuses for him/her to return.
To add beauty to this wonderful ghazal the best ghazal singer ever, Mehdi Hassan, made it everlasting by the beautiful way he sang it.
My favourite shairs in this ghazal are:
kis kis ko batayenge judayee kaa sabab ham
tu mujhase kafa hai toh jamane ke liye aa
*abb tak dile khush faham ko tujh se hain ummiden
yeh aakharee shamme bhee bhujane ke liye aa ------ This one is magic.
*
jaise tujhe aate hain naa aane ke bahane
aise hee kisee roj naa jane ke liye aa
Honestly, I can’t say I like one like more than another.
The entire poem together is beautiful when you think out side the box and read in between the lines
