Long long back in late seventies I was singing / playing instrument in my
room in district Mirzapur (UP), I met one Maharashtrian gentleman who had
come there for some technical job for a short visit to that place from
elsewhere, who told me that if he were fixing a nail on wall in his home
with hammer he would stop in between upon listening to Saigal's song on
Radio, abandon his stroke of hammer halfway in air, would sit next to the
Radio with hammer in his hand and start listening to the
Saigal-song----This was the hypnotic/magical effect of Saigal's songs on a
person who was a layman as far as music is concerned. After knowing this
and with repeated & diversified listening to Saigal's songs,Bhajans and
Ghazals in course of time, my respect and desire for Saigal's music went on
increasing.

About a month before my father died at age 92, I was taking him for a short
walk in his wheelchair. He was suffering from dementia and incontinence for
the last 8 years but his passion for Urdu poetry had been very strong. So,
I started a line of this ghazal "Hum ne mana ke taghaful na karo ge
laikin.” And he completed it by saying, “Khak ho jain ge ham tum se milay
baghair”. So, his tombstone has his version, “Hum ne mana ke taghaful na
karo ge laikin, Khak ho jain ge ham tum se milay baghair”.

Thanks for posting this Gem. One of teh best ghazals by the greatest ghazal
singer ever KLS. KLS is with no parallel when it comes to rendering ghazals
and this is one of the finest examples. One feels like listening to it
again ana again. Long live Kundan Lal Saigal.

The poetry of ghalib is unmatchable. Saigol could not have picked better
poetry. Saigon has really sung very well. May saigol sahib live in heaven
and entertain the almighty.
