I dont remember the day when first time i listen ghazal and actually become fan of this type of singing.my friend sandeep told me about ghazals in college days and told me few words of "tum itna kyon muskura rahe ho" the lines really cought my attraction and so i started listening more of them and just fall in love of them.
And today after so many years i am lucky one to attend live concert of legendery ghazal singer ghulam ali in mumbai and with his charming voice he made the evening unforgotable for me ohh for all the listeners/ghazal lovers present there....(snap posted here is not of this concert held in mumbai on 20 oct'07)
he started of with "maine lakhoke bol sahe ......following with "main khayal hu kisi aur ka ...muze sochata koi aur hai...." .the wording itself says how u may feel when ghulam ali is in front of you singing with full sprit.good thing about him is he describes hard word i mean those are in pure urdu and difficult to understand and then continuing with the song.this make all really comfortable with tough compositions also.
mehefil goes on with ghazals like "bhul bhi jao beeti batein,in baton mein kya rakha hai",meri nazar se na ho duur ek pal ke liye"
he sung mukhada of"dil mein ek leher si uthi hai abhi..."almost more than 12 times but so sweetly than never felt any repeatence....simply superb....thats why he is call legend... man._:).
remember one sher's of his ghazal..
"roz keheta hu use bhul jaoo,
aur roz ye baat bhul jata hu main...."
and
"ye inayat gazab ki
ye bala ki meherbaani
meri khairiyat puchi
kisi aur ki zabaani"
The atmosphere was magical at the moment and i wondering the stamina of all these peoples i mean music players along with ghulam ali.he himself playing peti(word in marthi but really suits to that organ)as well as singing .
after break of few minutes his shagird naeem ali continued and sung two ghazals and he is promising........really cant expected so good from him.both of his gazals (ye inayat above given is originallu sung by ghulam ali but in concert sung by naeem ali) and "hum sath sath chal rahe hai,kuch log jal rahe hai" was simply rocking.i searched that ghazal on net but unable to found........such a wonderful song ......what to say ...cant express in words
after that ghulam ali continued with his popular tracks like "ye baatein zoothi batein hai,ye logone failayi hai" ,"chamakte chand ko" ,"chupke chupke" and finally hungama kyon hai barpa.........".too be honest i was shivering with pleasure while listening chupke chupke.....the unseen scenario was in front of me worded in that gazal ...hats off .....ghulam ali saab hats off to you.......
the concert was over with above song .all day was fine for me attending pooja in office as well attendning this programme later on. nilya recorded few songs on his cell which i will get soon on cd(thanks to o2-his cell:)).afeer the show me feeling relaxed,happy,quite nervous(listening some touchy songs)and moreover in that mood ...........
