The "Aaho"s of thousands of JS fans definitely has had a huge "Asar". Sanjay Tayal shared some rare unreleased performances of the master with Chitra Ji. Chitra Ji promptly agreed to getting them released as an album, on 10th October this year. ("The Master and His Magic", Jagjit Singh, Sony Music, India)
There was the usual and the un-usual excitement in the vast community of the master's fan, with regards to the album. Usual excitement regarding the launch, the tracks, the concerts in which they were performed, the poets and so on. What was unusual was no one seemed to miss the master! It is as if he is with us all the time. As is mentioned in the accompanying booklet in the album, one year has passed, but somehow the fans seem to be consciously unaware of the master's absence.
The tracks are wonderfully sung. The poetry selection is masterful too! Waseem Barelvi's "Tu Ambar ki Aankh" is mind blowing in poetry. I will have more on the tracks in a later post. There are 9 tracks, including "Dil mein ab dard-e-muhabbat ke siwa". Without any disrespect to Lata Ji, one can say that JS always infused life into a composition of his own when he sang it.
Finally the "catchy" ghazal of the album,
आहों में है असर मगर फ़र्क़ असर असर में है,
चैन से सो रहे हैं वो, दर्द यहाँ जिगर में है.
दिल को मेरे ले गया उसकी तलाश क्या करूँ,
जिसने चुराया दिल मेरा वो तो मेरी नज़र में है.
वो ही है रात वस्ल की वो ही है रात हिज्र की,
आए ही गी सहर मगर फ़र्क़ सहर सहर में है.
मस्ती तेरे शराब की जैसे हो मय गुलाब की,
साँसों में ऐसी ख़ुशबू है जैसे हिना अतर में है.
On Smashits, Low Quality
The poet is unknown. Beher of the 16 syllable ghazal is: rajaz musamman matvii makhbuun [Pattern: 2112-1212-2112-1212] - [muf-ta-i-lun][ma-faa-i-lun][muf-ta-i-lun][ma-faa-i-lun]
This is of course following the same beher same tune rule, as in "Aapko bhol jaayen hum" and "Os pade bahar par" but the tempo is much faster in this one.
