I love I just love Jagjit Singh…
His voice has a charisma and feelings that is beyond explanation…. and oh the lyrics that his Ghazals have…. Can never get enough of it…….
How much ever I try I can never ever pick one ghazal which is a favourite
I think the first ever ghazal I heard of his was the very very popular Yeh Daulat bhi le lo
I loved it back then instantly but now when I hear it, every word is like brilliant… I just want my childhood back
ye daulat bhii le lo, ye shoharat bhii le lo
bhale chhiin lo mujhase merii javaanii
magar mujhako lautaa do bachapan kaa saavan
vo kaagaz kii kashtii, vo baarish kaa paanii
muhalle kii sabase nishaanii puraanii
vo budhiyaa jise bachche kahate the naanii
vo naanii kii baaton mein pariyon kaa deraa
vo chahare kii jhuriryon mein sadiyon kaa pheraa
bhulaae nahiin bhuul sakataa hai koi
vo chhotii sii raaten vo lambii kahaanii
kadii dhuup mein apane ghar se nikalanaa
vo chidiyaa vo bulabul vo titalii pakadanaa
vo gudiyaa kii shaadii mein ladanaa jhagadanaa
vo jhuulon se giranaa vo gir ke sambhalanaa
vo piital ke chhallon ke pyaare se tohafe
vo tuutii hui chuudiyon kii nishaanii
kabhii ret ke unche tiilon pe jaanaa
gharaunde banaanaa banaake mitaanaa
vo maasuum chahat kii tasviir apanii
vo kvaabon khilaunon kii jaagiir apanii
na duniyaa kaa gam thaa na rishton ke bandhan
badii khuubasuurat thii vo zindagaanii
Some Trivia from Wiki

His father Amar Singh Dhiman, a government employee, was a native of the village of Dalla in Punjab (India) and his mother, Bachchan Kaur from Ottallan village, Samrala. He had four sisters and two brothers and he is known as Jeet by his family.He was raised as a Sikh.
He went to Khalsa High School in Sri Ganganagar and then studied science after matriculation at Government College, Sri Ganganagar and went onto DAV College, Jalandhar to graduate in arts. He is a post-graduate in history from Kurukshetra University.
Some Trivia from me : he went to the same college as my dad at the same time and used to live in the street behind them ;) and yes while we are at it… its Dad’s happy birthday song…. Dad wishing u a very very happy birthday

Ye Daulat bhi lelo is one of the all-time greatest gazals by Jagjit Singh. Every word of that gazal touches a deep chord…
I attending a Jagjit Singh concert in March this year and we cheered so hard for this gazal and forced him to sing it again!!! It was spellbinding!!!!!
oh ya ek sama sa bandh jaata hai when he sings awesome it is
and i have attended him live 3 times and 2 times he has sung that twice, this and Mirza Ghalib
Jagjit Singh’s ghazals are timeless! They are so beautiful!
‘Tum itna’ is so amazing. Just reminds me that it has been a while since I played his songs.
Do wish uncle on my behalf too!
oh yes they never become old at all
thanks i will pass ur wishes to him
Many Many happy returns to your Dadda !!!!!!!!!!

thanks indy :)
Hey Monika !!
Even I just love Jagjeet Singh and each of his composition is my fav. I cannot see the songs at work so don’t know whether you have listed it or not. But one of my favs is “Apne hothon par sajana chahta hoon”
hey parul I love that too… that one goes in the post too :D
my dad is a Jagjit fan too. I like few of his songs.
I like almost all his old ghazals
I have never heard him before. He is wonderful, very easy to listen too and enjoy. thank you for sharing a perfect J choice!
Beautiful music, the great uniter.
oh yes u are right there
they rightly say music has no barriers
I love the first song..brings back fond memories of the time my parents dumped us at granny’s place and went off for the movie.. probably the only romantic thing they’ve done in our life ;-) Happy Birthday to Uncle :-)
wow that must be cute :)
Some nice collection, Monix.
I used to love Jagjit Singh and the songs listed here are still my favorite. The Jagjit Singh now is a very different person..very rude and also bad singer.
I love ‘ye daulat bhi lelo…’ and ‘tum jo itna…’
oh yes I know what u mean…. he has become a little crazy now… sols he is still a good singer for his old songs just oflate as 8 months back I heard him live he was too good but the new ones he is singing I agree are horrid
Me likes his Sarforosh songs the best!! :)
Also K is a huge huge fan!
These songs here – will listen to them after going home today!
that song will be up too :D
ohh thats my favourite too ..i love jagjit singh
http://myamusingmind.wordpress.com/2007/07/17/woh-kagaj-ki-kashtiof-my-childhood/
me too
wow lot of people seem to have a post on this :D
Lovely collection Monu! Happy Bday to Uncle :)
thanks darling
A very happy bday, to your Dad !!!! Pl convey my warm wishes to him.
Jagjit singh – his voice is the soothing nerve, when I am tensed. Absolutely great singer !!! Your Dad’s collegemate ?? WOW !!!
Yeh tera ghar, yeh mera ghar – is super fav of me !!! :lol:
thanks will pass ur wishes
Many happy returns of the day to your dad :)
I’m not a very huge fan of gazhals but I feel Jagjit Singh’s are more like light melodies.
I like Badi Naazuk from Jogger’s Park :)
oh the ones that he sang for movies are… but he has sang some hard core ghazals too
oh yes I like that too…. that too will go up ;-)
tum itna jo is one of my fav songs…
interesting trivia…
warm wishes to your dad, hope he had a great day :)
thanks suma will pass ur wishes
It’s almost a broken record; still ANOTHER I’ve not heard of. It’s a big world, I know, but…
Thanks.

Wow, that is some college mate to have. A very happy birthday to ur dad! Really, Jagjit Singh’s songs touch a chord everytime.

i loved all ur choices… i LOVED the first one..seriously! its pure genuis i tell ya!
i read the title of this in my reader at work and i was muaskurofying big time coz i knew u chose Jagjit Singh even before i scrolled down! :D :D :D
yes, that song, main roya pardes mein, tum ko dekha to yeh khayaal aaya! they are all marterpieces!
i loved that one from sarfarosh too “hosh waalon ko khabar kya”… tho he seemed silly acting in the video, with the scarf on hhis face etc! :P :P
and i also like that ghazal, it was used as the title track for the serial Heena.. “haath choote bhi toh rishtey nahin choda karte..waqt ki shaakh se lamhe nahi todaa karte”
my belated bday wishes to ur dad!!!!!!
