chamakte chand ko chamakte chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala by ghulam ali

chamakte chand ko
chamakte chand ko tuta hua tara bana dala
meri aawargi ne mujhko aawara bana dala
chamakte

bada dilkash bada rangeen hai yeh shehar kehte hain 
yahan par hain hazaron ghar gharon mein log rehte hain
mujhe is shehar ne galiyon ka banjara bana dala
chamakte chand...

main is duniya ko aksar dekh kar hairaan hota hun 
na mujhse ban saka chhota saghar,din raat rota hun
khudaya tune kaise ye jahan sara bana dala
chamakte chand...

mere malik, mera dil kyun tadapta hai, sulagta hai
teri marzi , teri marzi pe kiska zor chalta hai
kisi ko gul, kisi ko tune angara bana dala
chamakte chand...

yehi aagaz tha mera, yehi anjam hona tha
mujhe barbaad hona tha, mujhe nakaam hona tha
mujhe taqdeer ne taqdeer ka mara bana dala
chamakte chand...

kaun hai jisne by ghulam ali

kaun hai jisane may nahi chakkhi
kaun jhoothi qasam uthaata hai
mayakade se jo bach nikalata hai
teri aankhon mein doob jaata hai

ham tumhen aisi pila denge tum aao to sahi
hosh ka naam bhula denge tum aao to sahi

jaam botal se bharo aur laga lo munh se
tumako peena bhi sikha denge tum aao to sahi

aaj kal roz hai mayakaane mein aana jaana
tumako saaqi se mila denge tum aao to sahi

kya kaha gam ne sata rakha hai toba toba
gam ko thodi si pila denge tum aao to sahi

ye dil ye pagal dil mera kyon bujh gaya aawargi by ghulam ali

ye dil ye pagal dil mera kyon bujh gaya aawargi
is dasht mein ik shahar tha vo kya hua aawargi

kal shab mujhe be-shakl si aawaaz ne chaunka diya
main ne kaha tu kaun hai usne kahaa aawargi

ik ajnabi jhonke ne jab pucha mere gam ka sabab
sahara ki bheegi ret par main ne likha aawargi

Chupke chupke raat din by ghulam ali

Chupke chupke raat din aansu bahaana yaad hai - 2
Humko ab tak aashiqui ka voh zamaana yaad hai
Chupke chupke raat din aansu bahaana yaad hai
Khench le na voh mera parde ka kona daffatan - 2
Aur dupatte se tera voh munh chhupaana yaad hai
Humko ab tak aashiqui ka voh zamaana yaad hai
Chupke chupke raat din aansu bahaana yaad hai
Do paher ki dhoop mein mere bulaane ke liye - 2
Voh tera kothe pe nange paaon aana yaad hai
Humko ab tak aashiqui ka voh zamaana yaad hai
Chupke chupke raat din aansu bahaana yaad hai

nagri nagri phira musaafir by ghulam ali

nagri nagri phira musaafir ghar ka rasta bhool gaya
kya hai tera kya hai mera apna paraaya bhool gaya

kya bhula kaise bhoola kyon poochhate ho bas yoon samajho
kaaran dosh nahi hai koi bhoola bhaala bhool gaya

jisko dekho usake dil mein shiqwa hai to itana hai
hamein to sab kuch yaad raha par hamko zamaana bhool gaya

koi kahe ye kisane kaha tha kah do jo kuch ji mein hai
mera ji kah kar pachhataaya aur phir kahana bhool gaya

ab to is tarah meri aankhon mein by ghulam ali

ab to is tarah meri aankhon mein khaab aate hain
jis tarah aayeene cheharon ko taras jaate hain

ehatiyaat ahal-e-mohabbat ke isi shahar ke log
gul-ba-dast aate hain aur kwaabaa-rasan jaate hain

jaise tazabeez-e-taalluq ki bhi rut ho koi
zakm bharate hain to ahabaab bhi a jaate hain

har kadi raat ke baad aisi qayaamat guzari
subaho ka zikr bhi aaye to laraz jaate hain

ek lamha maykade mein jo by ghulam ali

ek lamha maykade mein jo ham log aa gaye
kuch baat-cheet kar gaye kutch hans-hans gaye

ab isamein apni surat-e-raana na dekhiye
ab dil ke aaine mein kahi baar aa gaye

dam le ke ek lamha chale jaayenge faqeer
sunke tumhaare kuld ki taareef aa gaye

kitne haseen log the jo mil ke ek baar
aankhon mein jazb ho gaye dil mein sama gaye

hamne hasraton ke daag by ghulam ali

hamne hasraton ke daag aansuon se dho liye
aapki khushi huzuur boliye na boliye

kya haseen kaar the jo meri nigaah ne
saadagi se baaraha rooh mein chubho liye

mausam-e-bahaar hai ambareen khumaar hai
kiska intazaar hai kesuon ko kholiye

zindagi ka raasta kaatana to tha 'adam'
jaag uthe to chal diye thak gaye to so liye

isaka rona nahi kyon by ghulam ali

isaka rona nahi kyon tumane kiya dil barabaad
isaka gam hai ki bahut der se barabaad kiya

shaam ke saanwale chehare ko nikhara jaaye
kyon na saagar mein koi chaand ubhaara jaaye

raas aaya nahi taskeen ka saahil koi
phir mujhe pyaas ke dariya mein utaara jaaye

meharabaan teri nazar teri adaayen qaatil
tujhako kis naam se ai dost pukaara jaaye

sochte aur jaagte saanson by ghulam ali

Sochate aur jaagte saanson ka ek dariya hoon main,
Apne guldastha kinaro ke liye bahta hu main

Jal gaya sara badan, in maasoom ki aag me,
Ek maasoom rooh ka hai, jismein ab zinda hu main

Mere honto ka tabasoom, de gaya dhoka tujhe,
Tumne mujhko baag jana, dekhle sahara hu main.

Dekhe meri pajirayi ko aab aata hai kaun,
Lamha bhar to waqt ki, dahliz par aaya hu main.

ye faasala jo pada by ghulam ali

ye faasala jo pada hai mere gumaan mein na tha
ke abaki baar zamaana bhi darmiyaan mein na tha

koi bhi nazm-e-chaman ho ye hamane dekha hai
sahar ka nagmaa-sara shaam-e-aashiyaan mein na tha

ke jisake haath mein patthar kamaan mein teer na ho
koi bhi aisa mere shahar-e-mehabarabaan mein na tha

duaaen mainne hi maangi theen rut badalane ki
faraaz mera nasheman hi gulasitaan mein na tha

dekhkar dilkashi zamaane ki by ghulam ali

dekhkar dilkashi zamaane ki
aarzu hai fareb khaane ki

aye gam-e-zindagi na ho naaraaz
mujhko aadat hai muskuraane ki

zulmaton se na dar ke raste mein
roshani hai sharaabkhane ki

as tere kesuon ko pyaar karu
raat hai mashalen jalaane ki

jabse tuune mujhe deewaana by ghulam ali

jabase tuune mujhe deewaana bana rakha hai
sang har shaks ne haathon mein utha rakha hai

usake dil par bhi kadi ishq mein guzari hogi
naam jisane bhi muhabbat ka sazaa rakha hai

pattharon aaj mere sar pe barasate kyon ho
mainne tujhako bhi kabhi apana khuda rakha hai

ab mere deed ki duniya bhi tamaashaai hai
toone kya mujhako mohabbat mein bana rakha hai

kaab banake bikharti jaati by ghulam ali

kaab banake bikharati jaati hai
raat dil mein utarati jaati hai

rang kisake chura liye usane
roz-o-shab wo nikharati jaati hai

a ke ummeed mein jala ke charaag
aaj to wo sanwarati jaati hai

a gaya wo to umr bhar ki thakan
jaise pal mein utarati jaati hai

itni muddat baad mile by ghulam ali

itni muddat baad mile ho
Kin sochon mein goom rahte ho

Tej hawaa ne mujhase pucha
Ret pe kya likhte rahte ho

Kaunsi baat hai tumme aaise
Itni achchi kyun lagte ho

Hamse na pucho hizr kisse
Apni koho, ab tum kaise ho.

ek hamein aawaara by ghulam ali

ek hamein aawaara kahana koi bada ilzaam nahi
duniya waale dil waalon ko aur bahut kuch kahate hain

wohi mizaaj wohi chaal hai zamaane ki
hamein bhi ho gai aadat fareb khaane ki

main saare shahar mein tanha nahi hua ruswa
saza mili hai tumhen bhi to dil lagaane ki

sharaab milati hai lekin hamaari pyaas se kam
ajeeb rasm hai saaqi yahaan pilaane ki

nazar bacha ke tumhen dekhata hoon mahafil mein
nazar lage na kaheen tumako is diwaane ki

woh kabhi mil jaye by ghulam ali

Woh kabhi mil jaye to, kya kijiye,
Raat din surat ko dekha kijiye.

Chaadani raaton mein, ek ek phool ko,
Bekhudi kehte hai, sajda kijiye.

Jo tamanna bor na aye, umra bhar,
Umra bhar uski tamanna kijiye.

Isk-ki ranginio mein, dub kar,
Chaadani raaton mein roya kijiye.

Ham hi uske ishq ke kaabil na the,
Kyun kisi zaalim ka sikwa kijiye.

dukh ki laher ne by ghulam ali

Dukh ki laher ne chheda hoga
Yaad me kankar pheka hoga

Aaj to mera dil kehta hain,
woh is waqt, akela hoga.

Main to aaj bahut roya hu,
Tu bhi shayad roya hoga.

Mere chume huye haathon se,
aur ko khat likhta hoga.

Mera sathi sam ka tara,
Tujhase aakh milata hoga.

Yaadon ki jalti shabnam se,
phoolon sa mukhra dhoya hoga.

Naasir tera meet purana,
Tujhko yaad to aata hoga.

na jaane kab wo by ghulam ali

na jaane kab wo palat aayen dar khula rakhana
gaye huwon ke liye dil mein kuch jagah rakhana

hazaar talk hon yaaden magar wo jab bhi milen
zubaan pe achchhe dinon ka hi zaayaka rakhana

na ho ke kurb hi phir marg-e-rabt ban jaaye
mile agar to zara usase faasala rakhana

utaar phaink de kush-fahamiyon ke saare gilaaf
jo shaks bhool gaya usako yaad kya rakhana

dil mein kisi ke raah by ghulam ali

dil mein kisi ke raah kiye ja raha hoon main
kitana haseen gunaah kiye ja raha hoon main

gulashan-parast hoon mujhe gul hi nahi ajeez
kaanton se bhi nibaah kiye ja raha hoon main

yoon zindagi guzaar raha hoon tere bagair
jaise koi gunaah kiye ja raha hoon main

na may ki aarazu hai na saaqi se koi kaam
aankhon se mast jaam piye ja raha hoon main

Bheed mai ek ajnabi by ghulam ali

bheed mein ek ajanabi ka saamana achchha laga
sabase chhupakar wo kisi ka dekhana achchha laga

suramaai aankhon ke neeche phool se khilane lage
kahate kahate kuch kisi ka sochana achchha laga

dil mein kitane ahad baandhe the bhulaane ke liye
wo mila to sab iraade todana achchha laga

dushman-e-jaan hai par 'amajad' main bura kaise kahu
jab bhi aaya saamane wo bewafa achchha laga

Pyaar mujhse jo kiya tumne by jagjit singh

pyaar mujhse jo kiya tumne to kya paogi,

ranj or dard ki basti ka main bashinda hun,

dil ki chhoto ne kabhi chain se by ghulam ali

dil ki chhoto ne kabhi chain se rehne na diya
jab chali sard hawa manie tujhe yaad kiya

iska rona hai ke bahut der me barbad kiya

Hai dua yaad magar harf-e-dua yaad nahi
mere nagmat ko andaz-e-nawa yaad nahi

zindagi jabr-e-musalsal ki terah kaati hai
jaane kis jurm ki payi hai saza yaad nahi

maine palko.n se dar-e-yaar pe dastak di hai
main woh saahil hoo.n jise koi sada yaad nahi

aao ik sazda kare.n aalam-e-madhoshi me
log kahte hai ke "sagar" ko khuda yaad nahi

About Ustad Ghulam Ali

Early life

Ali was born in the village of Kaleke in the Sialkot district of Punjab, British India (now in Pakistan). He belongs to a musical family; his father was a vocalist and a sarangi player who gave him early training. At the age of 15, he became a student of the legendary Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, who was a master of the Patiala Gharana (Patiala School) of Hindustani music. His actual training was provided mainly by Bade Ghulam Ali Khan's three brothers: Barqat Ali Khan, Mubarak Ali Khan, and Amanat Ali Khan, in Lahore. All these great teachers of classical music taught him the finer nuances of classical music and his solid foundation of classical music included studying Thumri and learning to sing ragas.

Career

Ali started singing for Radio Lahore in 1960. Ghulam Ali's father named him "Ghulam Ali" after Bade Ghulam Ali. Along with singing ghazals, Ghulam Ali composes music for his ghazals too. His compositions are raaga-based and sometimes include a scientific mixture of raagas. A raaga is a scientific, precise, subtle and aesthetic melodic form with its own peculiar ascending and descending movement consisting of either a full seven note octave, or a series of six or five notes (or a combination of any of these) in a rising or falling structure called the Arohana and Avarohana. He is known for blending gharana-gaayaki into ghazal and this gives his singing the capability to touch hearts. He beautifully sings Punjabi geets too. Most of his Punjabi geets have been extremely popular. Though from Pakistan, Ghulam Ali remains as popular in India as in Pakistan. He burst into the Indian scene with a Hindi film song "Chupke Chupke raat din" in B. R. Chopra's movie, 'Nikaah'. Other popular ghazals include "Hungama hai kyon barpaa" and "Awaargi,yeh dil yeh paagal Dil mera", and many more. On being questioned about Pakistani pop groups, Ghulam Ali replied, "Frankly, I am really bewildered at their style of singing. How can you sing a song by running and jumping around the stage? The stage is meant for performing not for acrobatics."

Ali has also sung some beautiful ghazals like Kina Kina Timro Tasveer, Gajalu Tee Thula Thula Aankha, Lolaaeka Tee Thula and Ke Chha Ra Diun in Nepali language with Narayan Gopal, the greatest Nepali singer, and composer Deepak Jangam. Those songs were compiled in an album entitled Narayan Gopal, Ghulam Ali Ra Ma, and are equally popular among Nepali music-lovers to this day.

Jagjit Singh Biography

Jagjit Singh

Jagjit Singh was born in Ganganagar, Rajasthan. His father Sardar Amar Singh Dhiman, employed with the Government of India, hailed from Dalla village in Ropar district of Punjab and his mother Bachchan Kaur came from a deeply religious Sikh family of Ottallan village near Samralla. His siblings include four sisters and two brothers and he is fondly called Jeet by his family members. Although his late father wanted him to become a bureaucrat by joining the Indian Administrative Service, he was later reported to be happy with his son's achievements in the world of music. Jagjit went to Khalsa High School at Ganganagar. He studied Sciences during (after matriculation) from Government College, Ganganagar and went for graduation to DAV College, Jalandhar in arts stream. He also acquired a post-graduage degree in history from Kurukshetra University, Haryana.

Music Career

Initial days

Jagjit Singh's association with music goes back to his childhood. He learnt music under Pandit Chaganlal Sharma for two years in Ganganagar, and later devoted six years to learning Khayal, Thumri and Dhrupad forms of Indian Classical Music from Ustad Jamaal Khan of Sainia Gharana. The Vice Chancellor of Punjab and Kurukshetra University, Late Professor Suraj Bhan encouraged his interest in music. He arrived in Mumbai (then Bombay) in 1965 in search of better opportunities as a career musician and singer. His early struggle in the music industry, though not too harsh by his own account, still had its share of trials and tribulations. He lived as a paying guest and his earlier assignments were singing advertisement jingles or performing at weddings and parties.

Rise to fame

During 1970s, in India, the art of ghazal singing was dominated by well-established names like Noor Jehan, Malika Pukhraj, Begum Akhtar,Talat Mahmood and Mehdi Hassan. However, Jagjit was still able to make his mark and carve out a niche for himself. In 1976, his album The Unforgettables (On HMV LP Records) hit the music stores. Essentially a ghazal album, it's emphasis on melody and Jagjit's fresh voice was a departure from the prevalent style of ghazal rendition, which was heavily based on classical and semi-classical Indian music. Skeptics had their own reservations, purists scorned it but it was widely successful among listeners and the album set new sales records.

In 1967 he met Chitra, also a singer, while doing jingles. After a two-year-long courtship they got married in 1969. They epitomize the first successful husband-wife singing team. Jagjit Singh, with Chitra, has contributed immensely towards changing the course of this genre of music known as 'Ghazal' making it more ear friendly, melodic and enojoyable by a wider audience.

Later successful releases of the duo include Ecstasies, A Sound Affair and Passions. While these albums were breezy, Beyond Time released in the opening years of 1990s was an experimentation with sounds and conveyed a feeling that was beyond space and time. Around this time the duo was struck by grief as their only son, Vivek, who was twenty-one, met an untimely death in a road accident. Not only Jagjit and Chitra, it was a big shock to his numerous fans also. The album is a tour to the soul, ethereal, conscientious and introspective. The ghazals have a moving quality to them since they express the personal loss of Jagjit and Chitra. 'Someone Somewhere' was the last album containing ghazals sung by both. After that, Chitra quit singing.

Jagjit Singh continued singing his later albums, including Hope, In Search, Insight, Mirage, Visions, Kahkashan (meaning "Galaxy"), Love Is Blind, Chirag (meaning "Lamp"/"Flame") also achieved success. Sajda (an Urdu word meaning "offering"), which has ghazals sung by Jagjit and Lata Mangeshkar was another brilliant release and made its mark as a classic Ghazal album. The combined successes of his many albums made him arguably the number one ghazal singer in India. The audience wanted more and Jagjit Singh obliged with his Punjabi albums. Ebullient, effervescent and bubbly, his Punjabi songs are pleasant as well as joyous. Their enchanting ghazals use the choicest poetry by renowned poets including Mirza Ghalib, Ameer Meenai, Kafeel Aazer, Sudarshan Faakir and Nida Fazli…. and contemporary writers like Zaka Siddiqi, Nazir Bakri, Faiz Ratlami and Rajesh Reddy.

Jagjit also sang (as playback singer) for various songs in Bollywood films including Arth, Saath Saath and Premgeet (all from 1980s). The scores remain popular even today. In fact, all the songs of film Premgeet were composed by Jagjit. His compositions for the TV serial Mirza Ghalib (based on the life of the poet Mirza Ghalib), remain extremely popular among ghazal aficionados. The elusive element of Ghalib's poetry was sensitively and wonderfully brought out in the soulful compositions of Ghalib's ghazals by Jagjit Singh. The album could veritably be called a magnum opus.

Compared to his earlier ghazals (sung during 70s and 80s) his later ghazals have acquired a more soulful and poignant demeanour, as in albums such as Marasim, Face To Face, Aaeena, Cry For Cry. But all through this, romance never took a backseat! The journey to the soul is punctuated by romantic pauses like Dil Kahin Hosh Kahin. A testimony to his popularity is his ghazals in recent Bollywood flicks like Dushman, Sarfarosh, Tum Bin and Tarkeeb.

Most of the earlier albums of Jagjit Singh had English titles. Later, these had Urdu names like Sahar (meaning "Dawn"/"Morning"), Muntazir (meaning "In waiting"), Marasim (meaning "Relation"/"Relationship"/"Affinity" ) "Soz" (Pathos) etc.. The switchover may not be deliberate but marks a milestone in his singing. These new albums show a far better selection of lyrics and yes, even the singing has scaled new peaks.

Besides ghazals, Jagjit Singh has also sung Bhajans and Gurbani(Hindu and Sikh devotional hymns respectively) . Albums such as Maa, Hare Krishna, Hey Ram...Hey Ram, Ichhabal and also Man Jeetai Jagjeet in Punjabi, put him in the league of Bhajan singers such as Mukesh, Hari Om Sharan, Yesudas, Anup Jalota and Purushottam Das Jalota. The soothing effect that Jagjit's voice has on frayed nerves has prompted psychiatrists in metros (as large cities in India are called) to prescribe them as stress relievers.

Impact

Jagjit Singh is accredited with bringing the ghazal genre, which was previously restricted to the elite classes, to the masses. His music direction can be seen to be pioneering in changing the sound layout by adding more Western instruments while mostly retaining the traditional orchestra (which includes a tabla, and harmonium, and a couple of string instruments)

Jagjit Singh is accredited with finding one of the foremost playback singers in Bollywood in modern times, Kumar Sanu. As he played a big part in Sanu's initial career, in an interview Sanu said that Singh took him to meet the legendary music composers Kalyanji Anandji after hearing his voice, from there on Sanu has become a legend in Bollywood for his range and singing as he went to win five male playback Filmfare Awards in a row. A record that still stands.

In addition to cultivating his own successful career, Jagjit Singh has been involved in guiding many new, talented singers such as Talat Aziz, Ghanshyam Vaswani, Ashok Khosla, Siza Roy and Vinod Sehgal. He also lends active support to several philanthropic endeavors such as the Library at St. Mary's (Mumbai), Bombay Hospital, CRY, and ALMA (an organization that adopts under-privileged students for further education and development).

Jagjit Singh lives in Cumballa Hills, Mumbai.

Awards

In 2003, he was awarded the Padma Vibhushan, India's second highest civilian honour from the Government of India. [1]
In 2006, Teacher's Achievement Awards
