About a month before my father died at age 92, I was taking him for a short walk in his wheelchair. He was suffering from dementia and incontinence for the last 8 years but his passion for Urdu poetry had been very strong. So, I started a line of this ghazal "Hum ne mana ke taghaful na karo ge laikin.” And he completed it by saying, “Khak ho jain ge ham tum se milay baghair”. So, his tombstone has his version, “Hum ne mana ke taghaful na karo ge laikin, Khak ho jain ge ham tum se milay baghair”.
Let me admit here Mirza Ji that you are an uploader with a delicate artistic sense. Firstly I noted the the low r.p.m slate disc with the famous inscription and here the magic of portrait. This absorbing display of slowly appearing Ghalib and disappearing Saigal complements the mood of the verse.
Thanks for posting this Gem. One of teh best ghazals by the greatest ghazal singer ever KLS. KLS is with no parallel when it comes to rendering ghazals and this is one of the finest examples. One feels like listening to it again ana again.

Before partition of India, Hindus projected poets like Ghalib as liberal but after this artificial arbitration this trend died..

Doesn't KLS's singing make you call upon all aspiring Indian musicians and singers to deify him next to Goddess Saraswati herself ? Thanks,Mirzaji.
