Have a border bias, but her VQ is as good as Shamshad Begum or Suraiyya. She is not as good as Lataji imo, unlike what Pakistanis (typed p0rkis) think. Lyrics are very good in the ghazal , but as you point out , it is pretty elementary. Ghazals need a mood to connect to and appreciate, didn’t feel it in this song. Will post some of my fav in this thread. You can name it Ghazal thread or so Edited October 22 by coffee_rules singhvivek141, Lord and randomGuy 3

Will post some of my fav in this thread. You can name it Ghazal thread or so Exactly, these types of songs need a mood to connect, and when there's mood one feels like listening 5 times over.. Lata is better, and noor jahan is just perfect in her particular genre. Wonder expressions and khuli hui awaaz. Changed thread title Edited October 22 by randomGuy coffee_rules 1
crictime Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Noor Jahan reminds of Mujras in Mumbai. coffee_rules and pkmmamks 2

I might need some help with strong Persian words Here is one I came across recently. Mujh se pehli si mohabbat mere mehboob na maang Maine samjhaa tha ke tu hai to darakhshaan hai hayaat Tera gham hai to gham-e-dehar ka jhagdaa kyaa hai Teri surat se hai aalam mein bahaaron ko sabaat Teri aankhon ke siwaa duniyaa mein rakhaa kya hai Tu jo mil jaaye to taqdir nigoon ho jaaye Yoon na tha maine faqat chaaha tha yoon ho jaaye Aur bhi dukh hain zamaane mein mohabbat ke siwaa Raahatein aur bhi hain vasl ki raahat ke siwaa Anginat sadiyon ke taareeq bahemaanaa tilism Resham-o-atlas-o-kamkhwaab mein bunvaaye hue Ja-ba-ja bikte hue koochaa-o-baazaar mein jism Khaak mein lithade hue, khoon mein nahlaaye hue Jism nikle hue amraaz ke tannooron se Peep behti hui galte hue naasooron se Laut jaati hai udhar ko bhi nazar, kya keeje? Ab bhi dilkash hai tera husn, magar kya keeje? Aur bhi dukh hai zamaane mein muhabbat ke siwaa Raahatein aur bhi hain vasl ki raahat ke siwaa Mujh se pehli si muhabbat mere mehboob na maang I must be really sick to read, interpret and like Faiz Ahmed Faiz. Qayamat ke din shayad I really liked the following lines: Aur bhi dukh hain zamaane mein mohabbat ke siwaa, Raahetein aur bhi hain vasl ki raahat ke siwaa’ Dil Dhoondta hain Mariyam 1
Mariyam Posted October 28 Posted October 28 @coffee_rules would be glad to translate some of the verses to the best of my ability. One of my favourite verses is from a lesser known movie called Arth. The song is called jhuki jhuki si nazar, by Kaifi Azmi. “ teri ummeed pe thukra raha hu duniya ko Tujhe bhi apne pe ye eitbar hai ki nahi” coffee_rules 1
goose Posted October 28 Posted October 28 jagjit singh was a genius. a whole genre by himself. my late father adored him and played his songs all through my childhood. shame i dont know what half of it means! coffee_rules and Lord 2
coffee_rules Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Although a fil song, Jagjit Singh at his best Lord 1
coffee_rules Posted November 7 Posted November 7 (edited) Indeevar has not written better. Film songs before . although I prefer Khaike Ppan Banarans ke waala better for better mood.. Jagne cheena mujhse Mujhe jo bhi laga pyaara Sab jee tak ye mujhse Main har dam hi haara Tum haarke dil apna Meri geet amar kardo!!1 Edited November 7 by coffee_rules Mariyam 1
