Begum Akhtar (Video) - Ghazal - 132

[shahbulle]

Their is no other singer in past and present who can make the sher come alive like her.

The beauty of her rendering lies in her great talim (under her guru wahid khan , kirana gharana brother of ustad abdul karim khansahab), great riyaz and her compositions of the gazal.She has used her knowledge of the intricasies of the various ragas to bring out the deep feelings in the sher.Who will be able to create such compositions now?Thanks gor posting this gem.

Doing justice to this ghazal rendered in a unique begum Akhtar style.

[mkhaki]

"Wahi hai shahido saqui, magar dil bujta jata hai; Wahi hai shama lekin roshni kam hoti jati hai..."

What a brilliant rendition by Begum Akhtar of one of Jigar's more accessible (for this non-urdu speaker)ghazals. She is the best Ghazal singer of all time....Thanks for posting the video clips.

Excellent Ghazal by Jigar Muradabadi and superbly sung by Begum Akhtar

[smma59]

wah wah mashallah maza aa geya.

[mahakavi]

Thanks, sorry there is typing error in my sheir.

the correct sheir is:

maiN ne tO asha'ar yeh bheije thEy bAs baHre mazaaq

ho gaEy naaraaz woh, ghussey se cHehra laal hai

[PeterEHook]

aadaab arz, Mahaakavi,

are! islaahoN kaa silsilaa TuuT gayaa. Too bad. One more sher, in memory of JM. ijaazat hai?

murdaabaad hii ho sharaab kii, digar kaa digar ho gayaa

yaanii moraadaabaadii ke jigar kaa jigger ho gayaa

apne hii sher kii islaah pesh karuuN?

zindabaad hi ho sharaab kii, jaam ka ye anjaam ho gayaa

ki moraadaabaadii jii ke jigger kaa 'jigar' ho gayaa  khidmat meN 'akelaa'

[mahakavi]

sheir bheija hai akelaa, jis ghazal ka aapne

gaaney waala isko singer hai, koi qawwaal hai?

na radeef o qaafia, na wazn hai, na baHer hai

kya karey islaah koi, jab zameeN paamaal hai

aap kyuN peechEy paRe haiN uss bechaare ke janaab

kya? Jigar* waale Moradabaad mein susraal hai

[PeterEHook]

jo yuuN kahe mahaakavi hai yaa mahaakaal hai

jiskii zamiiN meN tuxm-e-xaahish kaa intiqaal hai

[mahakavi]

maiN tO asha'ar yeh bheije thEy bAs baHre mazaaq

ho gaEy naaraaz woh, ghussey se cHehra laal hai

[PeterEHook]

One sher that Begum Bibi left out:

sanam ke saath calaa gayaa nizaam-e-zindagii merii

vohii hAI Dibbii mE gole chaashnii kam hotii jaatii hai

[mahakavi]

Dear PeterEHook 'Jigar'

The sheir that Begum left out is not

the one which you have mentioned,

the correct sheir is:

huii sheereeN_dahan pheeki, har ek shaey tere jaane se

wohi goli hai lekin chaashnii kUmm hoti jaati hai

[PeterEHook]

No, no, no! That sheir (JM notebook 5, p. 23) is:

huii sheereeN-dahan Gaayab na jaane kaheeN jaane se

talab-e-aab-e-lab-e-ham-jashni­i kam hotii jaatii hai PeterEHook 'akelaa'

[mahakavi]

Dear 'Akelaa'

The sheir you have mentioned does not belong to Jigar* Moradabadi at all. I thought that it was yr sheir so I did islaah. I have in my possession a diwaan of Jigar*

signed and presented by him to a member of my family.

[desisweety]

wow i never thought her videos existed !! thank u.

[dotorman]

I never thought I will see her video, Thank you so much for upload.
