outstanding voice

[auralserenity]

I love this a lot. It's utmost close to my heart. Have had listened to this on LP while growing up, and cant get enough of this immaculate artistry of the singer, a phenomenon, a rarest of the rare talent - Akhtaribai Faizabadi. World is far more stylish and melodious because of her. I'm at complete awe with her.

dear u have translated word for word and not idiomatically sorry for this critisim but its necesary

Part 3:

Kaaba nahiN banta he toe botkhana bana de

If House of God is not to be built, then make it House of Idols

(Reference is to Abraham who built the Kaaba, while his father had a houseful of idols).

Behzad har ek jaam pe ek sajda-e-masti

Behzad, after each cup (of wine), may my prostration of rapture /

Har zarray ko sang-e-dar-e-janaanaN bana de

make every particle the brick of my beloveds door (for me to enter)/

[TheRampurwala]

Part 2:

MeN dhoond raha hooN meri woh shama kahaN hai

I am searching, where is that light of mine/

Jo bazm ki har cheez ko parvana bana de

Which can turn everything of the gathering into a firefly

(Firefly parvana here means the flies that are attracted to a light, only to burn up.)/

Akhir koee surat bhi toe ho khana-e-dil ki

In the end, the house of heart should have some shape/

[TheRampurwala]

Part 1:

Here's an approx. translation:

Diwana bana na hai to diwana bana de

If (you) want to make me (love)-insane, make me (love)-insane/

Varna kahiN taqdeer tamasha na bana de

Otherwise, the fate might turn (me) into a spectacle/

Ay dekhne waloN mujhe haNs haNs ke na dekho

O you onlookers, dont look at me with smirks/

Tum ko bhi mohabbat kahiN mujh sa na bana de

What if love makes you also like me/

[DEUTSCHLANDDUDE]

most sublime of her Ghazals...she is truly the queen of ghazal. you dont find the authenticity in expression, flavor and the mizaaj in many of today's singers of ghazals! Ghazal Beugm saheba handling ghazal was like a mother handling her baby!
