I want her to touch the sky: Lata on sis Asha's birthday
Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, September 8, 2005

Celebrated diva Asha Bhonsle, who has enthralled music lovers for over five decades with her songs, turned 72 on Thursday and elder sister Lata Mangeshkar said she was proud of her.

Asha, a recipient of the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke award, has sung more than 20,000 songs in many languages. Among the awards the velvet-voiced Asha has received are six Filmfare Awards and the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award.

"I want her to touch the sky," said Lata Mangeshkar fondly of her younger sibling.

"What my sister Asha has achieved is amazing. I'm very proud of her. It's said that no tree can grow under a large tree. I'm lucky that I never had to go out and seek work for my kith and kin. Whatever my brother Hridayanath and sister Usha have achieved in the music world, they've done on their own. But I feel my presence has cast a shadow over their careers," Lata told IANS.

"Asha had to move away from my shadows to prove herself. And she did it so wonderfully! She set out to do what she had to on her own. And I feel very happy when I hear her songs in her new album Asha. I've listened to what she has done to the ghazal legends - Mehdi Hassan, Ghulam Ali, Farida Khannum and Jagjit Singh - Asha's singing needs no comment. She has always been versatile and this album proves how far she has come.

"It was very brave of her to elect to do songs by such stalwarts. It's not easy to encore such time-tested numbers. No matter how well you do it people are bound to say you just can't compare. Yes, I had done Shradhanjali where I had tried to sing numbers of the great stalwarts in the playback world. Luckily for me I paid homage to those who were already gone.

"Asha has to compete with the living. For that she must be congratulated. I like the way she has paid a tribute to these living legends. The only reservation I've about the ghazals in the album 'Asha' are the changes in the orchestration. I didn't much care for the guitar interludes in the ghazals. They create a sense of discord. I suppose the ghazals have been modernized to suit young tastes.

"But in my opinion there's a particular mahaul - a specific environment - for the ghazal which cannot be tampered with. This is my opinion. It's also my opinion that my sister has reached a stage in her career where she can attempt anything. I want her to touch the sky."

Here's a 'truet'. Talatsaab and Mubarak Begum with Ashaji.

Film: Tatar Ka Chor
MD: Khayyam
Lyrics: Prem Dhawan
Year: 1955

A slight skip at the beginning but otherwise tolerable audio. Nice song. Mubarak Begum is one underrated voice.

Many happy returns of the day, O Mesmerizing One, and here's hoping for many, many more to come. The path you have had to travel has not been easy but you have conducted yourself with grace, your talent and dedication assure you of a permanent abode in the brightest constellation of the immortal ones.

That's actually Qafas, Priya. It means "Cage".

Have U ever heard of a cowboy who knew Urdu? Or a mule for that matter?

And what would qafat mean? Is there such a word?

Strange are the ways of the west. I am not aware of a "Qafat" in Urdu.

[mohd2004]

Yes hits is correct, its Qafas (cage), the version Priya you have uploaded the words qafas is not clear, probably due to volume fluctuation in the mukhda and I checked my version, Talat Saab's clearly says in the mukhda as "Qafas " and I dont think there is a word Qafat in Urdu. I shall upload this song and for the sake of clarity of this word, the song @96 kbps:-

TATAAR KA CHOR (1955)
Qafas me hai ...na manzil hai.
Talat Mahmood , Asha Bhosle & Mubarak Begum..

Thanks Mohdsaab!!!!
