saghar nizami: hairat se: master madan ساغر نظامی: حیرت سے:ماسٹر مدن

The Poet: Saghar Nizami ساغر نظامی
The Singer: Master Madan was born on 28 December 1927 in Khanna, a town today in Ludhiana district, then in Jullundur Division of Punjab, British India. The Master in his name is since he was only a boy. It is said that he started singing in public before his fourth birthday. By the age of eight, he was singing on the Delhi radio station. He and his older brother, Master Mohan, traveled widely in India and were given awards by rulers of different princely states. His final public appearance was at the age of 14 in Calcutta (West Bengal, India), where the audience insisted on his singing for hours. Following that he returned to Delhi. He soon became sick. His illness worsened as the time passed. It is said to be very painful. He ultimately passed away on 05 June 1942, a little over 14 years of age.

He recorded eight songs: 3 ghazals, 2 Punjabi songs, and 3 bhajans. Most famous are the two Urdu ghazals by Saghar Nizami uploaded here. In his rendition (ادائیگی), he seems to be in complete control. This is extraordinary for somebody so young. The blend of beautiful poetry and his sweet voice is so nostalgic and romantic. To me It seems that somebody from an age long gone is knocking at my hearts door.

The Punjabi songs are:

باغاں وچ پینگاں پیّاں
(baaghaan vich peengaan paiyyaan)
راوی دے پرلے کنڈھے وے مترا رہندا ہے دل دا چور
(Raavi dey parley kandhey vey mitraa rehndaa hey dil daa chor)

A better-edited version is being uploaded. This version will be removed in a few weeks. Thanks for the comments as one of those made me listen to it again and so I decided to re-edit.

hairat se sun raha hai zamana Master Madan ko.

Khamosh Tamashai ji aap ke paas asli moti hain.

Aap ne theek farmaaya, Master Madan ke baarey mein. Kaisa ghazab ka control hai, aawaaz aur adaigi par. Itni kam umri mein. Iss ki misaal shaayad hi kaheen miley. Madan Ji, jahaan bhi ho khush raho. Likhney ka shukriya!

Unbeatable ...everfresh......so soothing......but alas the Great singer vanished so early even prior to blooming.......

[umaralansari]

Salaams again...

Very clear upload compared to all others I've heard. Someone must have cleaned it up! :)

This and the bhajan "mori binati maano kaanh re" are my favourites among the 8 songs.

My father always told me about this child prodigy. Now he's on Youtube! Very impressive. More so as a Dawn article from 2001 mentions he was 7 when these HMV recordings were made! :0

Once again, if there is an English translation for this ghazal available, it would be greatly appreciated!

Wassalaam
