Mirza Ghalib's Aah Ko Chahiye Guitar Cover - Tribute to Jagjit Singh

Tried to figure out a few of Jagjit Singh's Ghazals late last night on Guitar..especially this rendition of Mirza Ghalib's Aah Ko Chahiye. Here's the first draft in B minor scale. Vocal volume is very low, so please raise it up.

My humble attempt as a tribute to the Late Legendary Jagjit (Ghazaljeet) Singh. Volume is a bit low, so raise it up please.

Aah ko chaahiye ik umr asar hone tak
Kaun jeeta hai terii zulf ke sar hone tak

Aashiqii sabr-talab aur tamannaa betaab
Dil kaa kyaa rang karun khoon e jigar hone tak

Ham ne maanaa ke tagaaful na karoge lekin
Khaak ho jaayenge ham tumko Khabar hone tak

Gam e hasti kaa 'Asad' kis se ho juz marg ilaaj
Shamma har rang men jalatii hai sahar hone tak.

@msdiya99 Thanks mate. It's a simple melody as far as Guitar goes. Of course one must strive hard to do justice to the vocals. I hope to sing it well one day!

Oh my gosh.... I was thinking the same thing the other day. To learn to play this song and some of Jagjit Ji's classic on acoustic. This is wonderful! Thanks... I shall take that guitar out of the closet and learn to play this beautiful melody. If only I could play like you...
