Jagjit's music for this ghazal is just perfect. The short pause before the "dard se bha na aaye kyon" and "koi humeysataye kyon" is brilliant and sets up the lines perfectly! This (Begum Akhtar's) is also a great composition, and the rendition cannot be faulted. However this is technically great, but not visual in nature. You cannot picturise anyone singing this, unlike Jagjit's version, which was created for the visual medium. Both are fantastic. But I didn't like Abida's version at all!
As great as this is, I still prefer Jagjit Singh's version (and Chitra's). I found the entire Mirza Ghalib album by the duo for the teleseries to be a standout feat. I've never heard these ghazals in tunes and ragas that fit them so well. The mood, the voice, the instrumentation....perfect.
Loved begum Akhter's style and singing. Its true she is a true legand. She in herself is a school for ghazal singers and listeners. KIYA BAAT HAY - WAH
No one has sung Ghalib like she has. This recording was released on Ghalib Centenary. she sang 12 ghazals under Khayyam's baton. Absolutely phenominal renditon!!
No body sung ghazals as beautifully as she did
