Non-film Ghazals By Noor Jehan, Ghazal Usne Chhedi… Options

[Inaam]

This thread is devoted to non-film ghazals sung by Madam. Starting it with a longstanding favourite of mine Tum aaey ho na shab-e-intizaar guzri hai a beautiful ghazal, penned by my favourite poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz. I am not sure about the year of recording of this ghazl, but it seems it was recorded in late 60s.

More Ghazals coming at you soon. I have lots to share, if you want any particular ghazal, feel free to write me in this thread.

Enjoy!

Dear Inaam

Would be great if you digitalize the contents of tape and upload and also provide info as to when it was sung. Just check this URL, it claims a CD of same has been released. You can also check with them for other NJ stuff. Here's the link-

Pulkit, thanks for the link. This is news to me. I will definitely try to get these CDs.

The cassette contains three items, sung by three different singers. Noor Jehan, Um-e-kulsoom (legendary Egyptian singer) and a male singer (I forgot the name).

Noor Jehan sang some excerpts from Iqbal’s poems ‘Shikwa’ & ‘Jawab-e-shikwa’. Miyan Shehryar composed music. It is about 20 minutes recording. I guess it was recorded in mid 70s.
