A culture like हिन्दोस्तान is unparalleled and magical where नाट-क़व्वाली is dedicated to कन्हैया (Krishna) and bhajans are sung for Eid .

Let’s cherish this अद्भुत गंगा जमुनी तहज़ीब as there is nobody like us anymore

Like Iqbal famously said

यूनान, मिस्र, रोमां, सब मिट गए जहाँ से

अब तक मगर है बाकी, नाम-ओ-निशां हमारा,

कुछ बात है की हस्ती, मिटती नहीं हमारी

सदियों रहा है दुश्मन, दौर-ए-जहाँ हमारा

In the frame is Ustad Farid Ayaz and Abu Mohammad belting out this loving complaint to the beloved, sung with great panache and yet delicately performed as a bhajan.

I have not come across another qawwaali for Krishna or any other Hindu God ,save this one.

Qawwali as a form is almost always sung for the divine मुर्शिद.

The raag is Tilak Kamod and the mood is Sufi

What’s not to love about this performance ?

To be sure, Partition itself was the product of a utopic plan enacting Enlightenment notions about the rational ordering of society. It promised to produce order out of a religiously and linguistically mixed society. It promised a homeland to those out-of-place in nationalist India.

Many who moved did so out of faith in this project, out of conviction, at times against the wishes of their families (most famously, Jinnah’s only daughter did not move). Indeed, the deliberate sacrifice of home and bonds was the price that made the result – participation in the creation of a new nation-state – all the more sacred.

The poet credited with launching the Pakistan movement, Muhammad Iqbal, was shaped by education in Germany and Britain. Among his closest friends in Lahore from 1932 was Muhammad Asad, the Austro-Hungarian Jew who opposed Zionism but supported the creation of a Muslim state in South Asia. He had been an advisor to Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud in the 1920s – one of that world of European “spies in Arabia” I described in my first book.

Like them, he collapsed the tasks of reinventing the Middle East and himself. He would go on to shape Pakistan’s constitution and head the Middle East...

Mirza Ghalib death anniversary: Remembering the great poet - art and culture

Mirza Asadullah Baig Khan, a poet who perfectly captured the decrepit beauty of a declining Mughal empire, slowly being displaced by the edifices of the colonial British Raj, is better known by his pen name Ghalib. He held the honorary titles of Dabir-ul-Mulk and Najm-du-Daula in the Mughal court. Ghalib was born on December 27, 1797 and breathed his last on February 15, 1869, in an area in Old Delhi’s Ballimaran. The place now known as the Ghalibki Haveli and is considered among the must-see places in Old Delhi. Born into a family of Aibak Turks who moved to Samarkand following the downfall of the Selijuk kings and later to India during the reign of Ahmad Shah, Ghalib moved to Delhi following his marriage to Umrao Begum, the daughter of NawabIlahi Baksh. The great Indian poet, who wrote in both Persian and Urdu, is known for his love for Mughal Delhi and had once passionately written, “Ik roz apni rooh se poocha, ki dilli kya hai, to yun jawab main keh gaye, yeh duniya mano jism hai aur dilli uski jaan.” Ghalib was buried in Hazrat Nizamuddin near the tomb of Nizamuddin Auliya. Ghalib is attributed several timeless quotes and couplets that still manage to evoke poignant feelings among readers. •Ham ko maalūm hai jannat kī haqīqat lekin/ Dil ko ḳhush rakhne ko ‘Ghālib’ ye ḳhayāl achchhā hai •Ishq ne ‘Ghālib’ nikammā kardiyā/ Varna ham bhī aadmī the kaamke •Hazāroñ ḳhvāhisheñ aisī ki har ḳhvāhish pe dam nikle/ Bahut nikle mere armān lekin phir bhī kam nikle •Aina kyun na dun ki tamasha kahein jise/ Aisa kahan se laun ki tujhsaa kahein jise •Mohabbat meñ nahīñ hai farq jeene aur marne kā/ Usī ko dekh kar jeete haiñ jis kāfir pe dam nikle Ghalib was appointed as a poet tutor to the royal family and the royal historian of Mughal court by Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II. He was given the honorific title Mirza Nosha and thus he came to be known as Mirza Ghalib. A gifted letter writer, his letters led to the foundation of easy and popular poetry. The witness to a turbulent period in Indian history, the vanishing of the beautiful architecture of Delhi saw him famously pen, “An ocean of blood churns around me/ Alas! Were this all!/ The future will show/ What more remains for me to see.” Follow more stories on Facebook and Twitter Read the full article

Remembering Mehdi Hassan on his 5th death anniversary. Mehdi Hassan Khan (8 July 1927 – 13 June 2012) was a Pakistani ghazal singer and playback singer for Lollywood. One of the greatest and most influential figures in the history of ghazal singing, he is famously known as the "King of Ghazal" or the "Shahanshah-e-Ghazal". Known for his "haunting" baritone voice, Mehdi Hassan is credited with bringing ghazal singing to a worldwide audience. Born to a musical family, he influenced generations of singers from diverse genres, from Jagjit Singh to Sonu Nigam. He earned numerous awards and accolades in his career and remained a leading singer of film industry along with the other contemporary playback singer Ahmed Rushdi. n 1957, Mehdi Hassan was given the opportunity to sing on Radio Pakistan, primarily as a thumri singer, which earned him recognition within the musical fraternity. He had a passion for Urdu poetry, and therefore, he began to experiment by singing ghazals on a part-time basis. He cites radio officers Z.A. Bukhari and Rafiq Anwar as additional influences in his progression as a ghazal singer. His first song was "Jis ne mere dil ko dard diya" film Susral in 1962. In 1964, his ghazal for a film Farangi, "Gulon mein rang bharay,baad-e-naubahar chale" written by renowned Pakistani poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz and composed by Rasheed Attre, gave him a major break and he never looked back after that. Following a severe illness in the late 1980s, Mehdi Hassan stepped down from playback singing. Later due to severity of his illness he completely departed from music. In 1977, Lata Mangeshkar was so moved by his dulcet vocals during a New Delhi concert that she’s reported to have said, “Aisa lagta hai ke unke gale mein bhagwan boltein hain,” (God sings through his voice). In October 2010, HMV Label released "Sarhadein" in which probably the first and last duet song Tera Milana featuring Mehdi Hassan and Lata Mangeshkar was released. This song was composed by Mehdi Hassan himself, written by Farhat Shahzad.Mehdi Hassan recorded it in Pakistan in 2009, and Lata Mangeshkar later heard the track and recorded her part in India in 2010, and the song was later mixed together for a duet. The same duet, "Tera Milna," was also sung by Mehdi Hassan and Noor Jehan. Like बॉलीवुड डायरेक्ट Bollywoodirect

Mehdi Hassan

Mehdi Hassan Khan (Urdu: مہدی حسن خان ‎‎; July 18, 1927 – June 13, 2012) was a Pakistani ghazal singer and a former playback singer for Lollywood. He is famously known as the "King of Ghazal". In 1979, he was awarded K. L. Saigal Sangeet Shehenshah Award by the Government of India. Indian singer Lata Mangeshkar, who has been awarded Bharat Ratna, once compared his songs to the "voice of god".[1] He was honored with Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, Pride of Performance and Hilal-e-Imtiaz by the Government of Pakistan. In 1983, in the court of King Birendra he was awarded Gorkha Dakshina Bahu by the Government of Nepal.[citation needed] He remained a leading singer of film industry along with Ahmed Rushdi. Mehdi Hassan died on 13 June 2012 after a protracted illness, in a private hospital in Karachi

Early life

Mehdi Hassan was born on 18 July 1927 in a village called Luna, Rajasthan in jhunjhunu district in India into a family of traditional musicians. He claims to be the 16th generation of hereditary musicians hailing from the Kalawant clan of musicians. Mehdi Hassan had his musical grooming from his father Ustad Azeem Khan and uncle Ustad Ismail Khan who were both traditional Dhrupad singers. Hassan started to perform at a young age and the first concert of dhrupad and kheyal with his elder brother is reported to have been held in Fazilka Bungla,[5] near present DC House (1935) of Undivided Punjab. After the Partition of India, 20-year-old Hassan and his family migrated to Pakistan and suffered severe financial hardships.

Mehdi initially started working in Chichawatni, in a bicycle shop. He later became a car and diesel tractor mechanic. Despite the financial hardships, he kept up the routine of practice on a daily basis.[citation needed]

Singing career

In 1957, Mehdi Hassan was given the opportunity to sing on Radio Pakistan, primarily as a thumri singer, which earned him recognition within the musical fraternity.

Bukhari and Rafiq Anwar as additional influences in his progression as a ghazal singer. His first song was "Jis ne mere dil ko dard diya" film Susral in 1962. Later Lata Mangeshkar said compliments for him that "Bhagwan talks in his throat".[this quote needs a citation]

Google Doodle celebrates 220th birth anniversary of Mirza Ghalib

Google's doodle today celebrates Urdu and Persian language poet, Mirza Ghalib on his 220th birth anniversary. 

The doodle sees Ghalib, with his pen and paper, knitting his imaginations, with a backdrop of buildings of Mughal architecture.

Ghalib, born in Agra on December 1797, during the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah, was educated in Persian, Urdu and Turkish got and acquainted with language at an early age. 

Ghalib started composing poetry at 11 and was also a prominent letter writer. 

One of the things Mirza Ghalib continued to write in his poems was the idea that life is an ongoing painful struggle which ends only with life itself.

Most people in India , particularly if they are from music & art rich states like Awadh and Brij ( myself included ) have traditionally dismissed Punjabi music as शोर शराबा . How unfair and wrong we are !

Having spent the last few months researching this genre with rich Inputs from my क़ाबिल दोस्त @delhifornia , I finally must admit that Punjabi माौसीकी़ is at par (if not above ) with Urdu poetry that we gush & swoon over.

As I evolve and learn, I came upon this brilliant poet and composer Shiv Kumar Batalvi शिव कुमार बटालवी who passed away very young but his contribution to Punjabi verse and pride stays unparalleled and unique.

He is the same stature as Bulle Shah, Amrita Preetam , Sampooran Singh Kalra (हमारे गुलज़ार साहब ) for the same depth and feel ,that not many could scale. Amrita ji famously nicknamed him ‘बिरह का सुल्तान’ for his unique capability to write eloquently on the pain of separation

Almost no recordings to his name save for this one from England , with the BBC. It’s grainy and old but worth its weight in gold . Sharing with you all..

What a loss to Indian music and Art that such a बेहतरीन शायर was gone so young!It’s a pity that Punjab and Punjabi music fails to showcase such brilliance in day to day life and focuses on rap and empty verse instead

Here’s his most famous verse thanks to a sensitive Bollywood blockbuster hit

इक कुड़ी जिहदा नाम मुहब्बत ग़ुम है’

ओ साद मुरादी, सोहनी फब्बत

गुम है, गुम है, गुम है

ओ सूरत ओस दी, परियां वर्गी

सीरत दी ओ मरियम लगदी

हस्ती है तां फूल झडदे ने

तुरदी है तां ग़ज़ल है लगदी

बल्ली-मारां के मोहल्ले की वो पेचीदा दलीलों की सी गलियाँ

सामने टाल की नुक्कड़ पे बटेरों के क़सीदे

गुड़गुड़ाती हुई पान की पीकों में वो दाद वो वाह वा

चंद दरवाज़ों पे लटके हुए बोसीदा से कुछ टाट के पर्दे

एक बकरी के मिम्याने की आवाज़

और धुँदलाई हुई शाम के बे-नूर अँधेरे साए

ऐसे दीवारों से मुँह जोड़ के चलते हैं यहाँ

चूड़ी-वालान कै कटरे की बड़ी-बी जैसे

अपनी बुझती हुई आँखों से दरवाज़े टटोल

इसी बेनूर अँधेरी सी गली-क़ासिम से

एक तरतीब चराग़ों की शुरू होती है

एक क़ुरआन-ए-सुख़न का सफ़हा खु��ता है

असदुल्लाह-ख़ाँ-'ग़ालिब' का पता मिलता है

Mirza Asadullah Ghalib or Miyan Ghalib as we know him was a minor Mughal born in Agra , who later migrated to Delhi to seek greener pastures in the Mughal courts .

For the next 50 years he lived in Ballimaran , Gali Kasim in old Delhi which has been immortalised thanks to a TV series with heavyweight actors like Naseeruddin Shah, brilliant music by Sardar Jagjit Singh and Gulzar’s stunning penmanship

It is said that Ghalib had invitations from many courts but stayed in Delhi due to his love for the Old Tom gin which was available at the Meerut Cantt . He would drink this gin flavoured with गुलाब जल out of an earthenware pot, chilled to his liking.

So his favourite tipple continued to inspire Ghalib to remain in Delhi , at his now famous haveli in the shadow of an old mosque , to which he famously quipped

मस्जिद के ज़ेर-ए-साया इक घर बना लिया है

ये बंदा-ए-कमीना हम-साया-ए-ख़ुदा है
