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!

Asheik saahib:

How do I thank thee? Let me count the ways...but I can't. There are no words in any language I know that will adequately express the sentiments of my overflowing heart. To listen to Noor Jehan sing Faiz in this manner is a truly moving experience. aap ne to subah subah rulaa diyaa!

Some years ago, Rajan Parrikar had posted on the Net a 7-minute recording of Begum Akhtar being taught a 'thumri' (ras ke bhare tore nain) by Anjanibai Malpekar (not a famous name but one of the greats of classical music). I treasure that clip as a slice of history. I never thought that one would get to experience history in the making yet again in the same lifetime. aap ne vo kamaal bhii kar dikhaayaa!

The human mind is a greedy, grasping thing - abhi is kaa lutf puraa uThaayaa bhii nahii.n hai k Khayaal jaag uThaa - ye puurii CD mil jaaye to kyaa baat hai! I live in Chennai and the likelihood of being able to procure a CD from Lahore if fairly remote. I would be vastly obliged to anyone who would be able to get this CD and would of course gladly pay any associated costs.

Thanks again.

Warm regards,
Abhay

Somehow I can't find where to enable personal messaging in the control panel.
Once that is sorted out, I can get your addresses and mail out the cd.
Until then here's phir koyi aya.
This nazm was the sole work by Faiz published in my class 9-10 Muraqqae Adab during the fascist Zia years.
The melody composed by Madam is very soulful.
Hearing Faiz and others say 'wah kya baat he' every now and then to the song and Noor Jehan hmm'ing her appreciation to him is equally soulful.

janab Abhay, I wonder if the thumri that you mention is available to the members here.
