After Khumaar I m again with other album " Jaam Utha" by Jagjit Singh. The Album Jaam Utha was released In 1998. The term Jaam utha is purely an invitation to drink in the world of ghazal drinking is also synonym for drinking the pain of love , pain of real life ( hope nobody would mind me saying that ) thats how the ghazal lovers take it in real sense in poetry many times Wine & Bar are used as a symbol ek aisaa prateek jahaan saare dukh dard bhula kar insaan khud ko pehchaane ki koshish karta hai where you try to justify your pain to ur self, as a result a new philosophy of life comes out within ur self to give you strength to move forward in life.
TheAlbum have total 8 tracks as follows. I have tried my best to post the complete poetry of each song so that if u don’t get the album still u can enjoy with this review.
- Aap Aaye Janab :- The first song where the peot says Aap aaye janaab barso mein feels like welcoming you to this magical world of ghazal listening.
Aap aaye janaab baraso mein
ham ne pi hai sharaab baraso mein
phir se dil ki kali khili apani
phir se dekha shabaab baraso mein
tum kahaaN the kahaaN rahe saahib
aaj hogaa hisaab baraso mein
pahle naadaaN the ab hue daanaa
unko aayaa adaab baraso mein
isi ummid pe me zindaa huN
kyaa vo denge javaab baraso mein
2. Jaam Utha:-
Maan mausam kaa kahaa chhaai ghataa jaam uThaa
aag se aag bujaa fuul khilaa jaam uThaa
e mere yaar tuje usaki kasam detaa hun
bhulajaa shikavaa gilaa haath milaa jaam uthaa
ek pal bhi kabhi ho jaataa hai sadiyon jaisaa
der kyaa karanaa yahaan haath baDhaa jaam uThaa
pyaar hi pyaar hai sab log baraabar hai yahaan
maikaden men koi chhoTaa naa baDaa jaam uThaa
Maan mausam kaa kahaa chhaai ghataa jaam uThaa
aag se aag bujaa fuul khilaa jaam uThaa
*3. Jhoom ke jab rindo :-
Joom ke jab rindon ne pilaadi
shekh ne chupake chupake duaa di
ek kami thi taajmahal mein
ham ne teri tasavir lagaadi
aap ne juTaa vaadaa karake
aaj hamaari umra baDhaadi
teri gali mein sajade karake
ham ne ibaadat gaah banaadi
4. Mere Kareeb Na Aao :- A Worth listening track which means "don’t come to me I m drunkard.... what everytime he says why is worth listening in this ghazal
mere karib na aao ki mein sharaabi huun
mera shauuf jagao ki mein sharabi hun
zamane bhar ki nigahon se gir chuka hun mein
nazar se tum na girao ki mein sharabi hun
ye arz karta hun gir ke khuluus walon se
utha sako to uthaoki mein sharabi hun
tumhari aankh se bhar luun suroor aankhon mein
nazar nazar se milao ki mein sharabi huun
5. Na keh Saqi : - this is purely a beauty of peotry ....... just read the words
Na keh saki bahaar aane ke din hain
jigar ke taar chil jaane ke din hai
Adaa sikhoo adaa aane ke din hain
abhi to door sharmaane ke din hain
Garibaan doodhte hain haath mere
chaman ke phool khil jaane ke din hain
tumhe raaz -e- mohabbat kya bataayein
tumhare khelne khaane ke din hain
6.Nazar Nazar Se
Nazar nazar se milaakar sharaab pite hai
ham unko paas bithaakar sharaab pite hai
Isiliye to andheraa hai maikade me bahot
yahaan gharon ko jalaakar sharaab pite hai
hamen tumhaare sivaa kuchh nazar nahin aataa
tumhen nazar me sajaakar sharaab pite hai
unhin ke hisse me aati hai pyaas hi aksar
jo dusaron ko pilaakar sharaab pite hai
7. Tere Nisar Saqia
tere nisaar saaqiyaa jitanii pi yuun pilaaye jaa
mast nazar kaa vaastaa mast mujhe banaaye jaa
tujhako kisii se garaz kyaa bijalii kahiin giraaye jaa
dil jale yaa jigar jale tuu yuun hii muskuraaye jaa
saamane mere aa ke dekh ruKh se naqaab haTaa ke dekh
khilaman-e-dil hai muntazir barq-e-nazar giraaye jaa
Wafa’-e-badanasiib ko baKhshaa hai tuune dard jo
hai ko_ii is kii bhii davaa itanaa zaraa bataaye jaa
8. Ye Pinewale:- The last song but the best in the album I heard it 2-3 times the complete poetry penetrates deep in the heart, the words choosen, the message and Jagjit singh ..... simply superb . ............
Ye pinewaale bahot hi ajeeb hote hai
jahaan se dur ye khud ke kareeb hote hai
kisiko pyaar mile aur kisiko rusawaai
mahobaton ke safar bhi ajeeb hote hai
milaa kisi ko hai kyaa sochiye ameeri se
dilon ke shaah to aksar gareeb hote hai
yahaan ke logon ki hai khaasiyat ye sab se badi
habeeb lagate hai lekin rakeeb hote hai
To enjoy this album you surely need a time with yourself . Many of the songs have capability to take you to the journey of yourself.
