KHUMAAR Means drunkeness, khumaar means the hangover. The Hangover here means the nostalgic mood associated with love and the memories of Love moments. The album talks about the same. The Classic album having a collection of ghazals by Jagjit singh & gulzaar saheb, is a khumaar in real sense. No words can describe the joy of listening the ghazals of this album. A beautiful combination of Gulzaar sahebs poetry with the voice of Jagjit singh.
The album have total 8 tracks, I have tried my best to write the wording with every song I like the most ......
1. Baat Niklegi To Phir Door :- A very famous ghazal from Jagjit singh. A very deep meaning one... deserves to be the first place in the album a bit nostalgic in nature. I love the way Jagjit singh stresses on the important words of the ghazal simply superb......
*Baat Niklegi To Phir Door talak jaayegi
log bewajah udasi ka sabab poochenge
yeh bhi poochenge ke tum itni pareshaan kyon ho
2. Badi Haseen Raat Thi:-
A lover describing those lovely intimate movements in this ghazal ..... very magical words, the song takes you to a different world of emotions.... I have never heard such a lovely ghazal on intimate movements ..... very rare
*charaag aftaab gum
badi haseen raat thi,
shabaab bhi nakaab gum
badi haseen raat thi
likha tha jis kitaab mein
ke ishq to haram hai
huee wahee kitaaab gum
badi haseen raat thi
3. Haath Chhute Bhi To Rishtey :- Means parting apart of hands cannot beak relations, with lapse of time those movements cannot be forgotten ......... Best of shayari, the song is used in Film Pinjar ......one of my favourite ....
*haaath chutey bhi to rishtey nahee choota karte
waqt ki shaakh se lamhe nahee toda karte
lag ke saahil se jo behta hai, use behne do
aisee dariya ka kabhi mukh nahee moda karte
4. La Pila De Sharaab:- A nostalgic journey ............................the intoxication of love and wine in a beauiful way ................. you can feel the beauty of urdu poetry in this ghazal.
*dhal gayaa aftaab ae saaki
La pila de sharaab se saaki
ya suraahi lagaa mere muhn se
ya rakh de nakaab ae saaki
maikadaa chod kar kahaan jaaye
zamaana kharaab se saaki
jam bhar de gunaahgaaron ke
ye bhi ek sabaab se saki
5. Meri Ajab Hai Zindagi :-
*meri ajab hai zindagi
kisi se kya gila karoon
takdeer rooth jaaye to*
ae khuda mein kya karoon
6. Shaam Se Aankh Mein :- One of my favourite ........ and one more very famour ghazal .....
*shaam se aankh mein namee si hai
aaj phir aapki kamee si hai
dafn kar do hamein ke saans mile
nabz kuch der se thamee si hai
aaj phir aapki kamee si hai
7. Shayad Main Zindagi Ki Sahar :- A bit nostalgic with philosohical touch ........
*Shayad main zindagi ki sahar le ke aa gayaa
qatil ko aaj apne hi ghar le ke aa gayaa
Ta umra doodhta rahaa manzil mein ishq ki
anzaam ye ke garde safar le ke aa gayaa
8. Tum Itna Jo Muskura Rahe Ho :- The song used in the movie Arth , The song talks about the pain behind the smiles ............... Lovely wordings and a very famous one ...................
*Tum itna jo muskura rahe ho
kya gum hai jisko chuppa rahe ho
aakhon me nami hansi labo par
kya haal hai kya dikhaa rahe ho
ban jayenge jahar peete peete
yeh ashq jo peete jaa rahe ho
The Album is a must collection for Jagjit singh & the Ghazal lovers. The very first song makes the mood and you want to continue the journey till the end. Just close your eyes and get ready to travel in other world .............
