Remembering Jagjit Singh: A tribute to the ghazal maestro

India’s ghazal king, Jagjit Singh, who passed away at the age of 70, has left behind a treasure of heart-touching songs

Jagjit Singh’s unique voice fit the romance and the pathos required for ghazal singing perfectly. After working on independent music albums for some years, he got the chance to sing for films. He went on to sing many memorable ghazals written by Gulzar in the ’80s. Here are the top 5 film songs by the maestro:

Tum itna jo muskura rahe ho - Arth

Hoshwalon ko khabar kya – Sarfarosh

Koi fariyad – Tum Bin

Gazal ko Aam Aadmi tak Puhchane ka kaam kiya Jagjit Singh ne , Unke Jane se Gazal ki Duniya Mai FulStop Sa Lag gaya hai.Jis Andaz Mai unhone Gazal ko Paish Kiya Yeh Har kisi ki Baat Nahi …………..
Aankho Mai hai Dhua sa Bujztha nahi Dhua,Uttha hai hai Gata se mager Barasta nahi Dhua.
Chule nahi Jalaye ya Basti hi Jal gayi……..
Kuch Roz ho gaye hai Utha nahi Dhua…..
Is my favorite Gazal…….
I love Jagji Ji & I miss very much…….
