My mom knew that I like ghazals so one day she bought this album called passion for me. I told her that I like jagjit’s ghazals and never tried ghulam ali’s
then I thought, when cassette is at home, why shouldn’t I try to listen to this ghazals?? and I listened to this album. initially I felt bore as I had voice of jagjit in my mind but then as I kept on listening to ghulam ali, I found his voice good. even this album has excellent lyrics and good for everyone.
I like ghazal kabhi kitabon mein phool rakhna very much in this album.
it is a ghazal for lovers.
I am writing its’ shayaris here.
kabhi kitabon mein phool rakhna,
kabhi darakhton pe naam likhna ( darakhto = stone)
hame bhi yaad hai aaj tak woh,
nazar se harf-e-kayam likhna
( write ghazals by eyes)
woh chand chehre woh baheki baten,
sulagte din the mahekti raten,
woh chhote chhote se kagazon par
mohobbaton ke payam likhna ( payam = message)
gulab chehro se dil lagana
woh chupke chupke nazar milana
woh aarzuo ke khwab gunna,
woh kissa e na tamam likhna.
and I think ghulam ali is called ghazal king of all ghazal singers.. and frankly speaking I consider both jagjit and ghulam ali both ghazal samrat..
thanx and luv
