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! |

Inaam, lovely thread. BTW, I have a request. Someone intimated me that Radio Pakistan has released rare recordings of Noor Jehan, especially the 1965 war songs and ghazlas of Faiz. I'm aware that Radio Pakistan has recordings of ghazlas Noor Jehan sang for Faiz in a private Mehfil, somewhere in late 1950s, including 'mujhse pehli si', 'dono jahan teri' & 'aa ke wabasta'- all self-composed. It could be that finally these recordings are accessible. Please check with Radio Pakistan It could a veritable treasure

It could be that finally these recordings are accessible. Please check with Radio Pakistan It could a veritable treasure The late 1950s private mehfil was recorded by Professor Raza Kazim. His institute, Sanjan Nagar, Lahore, has since re-mastered those recordings. The first 4 or 5 tracks are Faiz reading his poetry. Then Noor Jehan sings Faiz without any instruments. The only musical sounds you hear is the beat of her hand (some waah waahs from the gathering (inc; Faiz himself), and some horns of buses here and there). Some of the ghazals and nazms were composed by Noor Jehan right then. She also sings 'aaj ki raat' from Jugnu and right afterwards sings Faiz's 'aaj ki raat'. The Faiz version was earlier sung by her before the Partition at Manto's house at his insistence. You can read about that in the article posted by janaab jamalf_akbar, on page 168. In the end she sang 'mundeya sialkotia' obviously for Faiz Sahab. During that song she forgets a word or a line and gives out the most endearing laugh that's to die for. The cd can be obtained from the school, Sanjan Nagar. It is indeed a treasure. I will upload some of it late today. |
