Hmm..what can one say of Mehdi Hassan..! I know people have different opinions about different Ghazal singers but I can only say proudly that I moved from Jagjit to Ghulam Ali to Mehdi Hassan..and I must say that it my taste has graduated.. I guess I will write more abt why I feel Mehdi sahab is the maestro over my next few reviews..


As far as this collection is concerned..It is a must have for all ghazal lovers.. Unki awaaz mein aisa hi kuch jadoo hai ki ansoon nikalte bhi nahi aur rukhte bhi nahi.... The first song is a absolute killer...'Zindagi Mein To Sabhi pyar kiya karte hain..mein to mar kar bhi meri jaan tujhe chahooga..' a very oft said thought in every other hindi movie but to know what it means listen to the ghazal.. Mehdi sahab is such a wonderful singer..ki unki zabaan se har ek alfaaz waise hi nikalti jaise nikalni chahiye...


The only analogy I can give to people who haven't heard him is that if Rafi hadn't sung the way '''Diwaana' huwa badal..'sawan' ki ghata chaaye..ye dekh ke dil 'jhooma'..li pyaar ne 'angdaayi'...'' every word under quotes have been sung the way on rafi can do justice to it.. I think there would be few singers who could match the justice to magical urdu words and Mehdi Sahab is foremost in the list..


Need I say more to one of the finest ghazlas ever sung..''Ranjish Hi Sahi dil ki dhukhane ke liye aa..'' very few ghazals have such quality of emotion of 'judai' and 'pyaar' interwined so beautifully..


The last ghazal I want to write about is my personal favorite..''Ab ke Hum Bhichhde To Shayad kabhi khwabon mein mile, jis tarah sukhe huwe phool kitabon mein mile'' I remember that when we were young we used to keep hibiscus flowers inside our textbooks and let them dry... The analogy is simply out of the world... Brilliant, touching and superb...'Ahmed Faraz' lines will be remembered for generations to come.. Again..this collection is a must must buy for all ghazal lovers.. !!!


RRC to have a nice discussion.
