Begum Akhtar - laayee hayaat aaye

One of my most beloved BA ghazals. Even her one faltering note is endearing. Thanks for the post, shakeentabiyat.

Tum bhi chale chalo yuhi, jab tak chali chale....

This rendering by Begum Akhtar is so different than others.

Very sweet and smooth.

Wah! Ustad Zauq, aap Bahadur Shah Zafar ke ustad aise hi nahin the.

behtar to hai yahi ki na duniya se dil lage
