mahendra nareda whaaa sahi kaha apne at hah h ye

Mahendra Nareda Saab, Your comment has come to my notice only today and therefore, this belated response. Very well-said! As a matter of fact, music is universal in its appeal! It has no boundary, barrier, language, race, or religion! Better, we should not try to confine our music and musicians within artificial barriers or boundaries! Music is far above all sorts of meanness and narrow-mindedness! To be very frank, music has got the potentials of unifying Mandir, Masjid, Church, or Gurudwara or for that matter, any other religion! Music disseminates the message of love and compassion ! GOD, 'THE MERCIFUL', also communicates with his MINIONS through the language of love and compassion alone! Propriety demands that one should not try to paint music with the political or religious colours! In fact, a true connoisseur of music always steer clear of political or religious controversies! Let all of us endeavour to enjoy music as it is, enrich our lives with its spiritual and aesthetic values and try to be good humanbeing which is so precious to GOD! -- Amarendra Borah, Former Commissioner and Secretary, Finance Department, Govt Of Assam (India).

Amjad Javaid Saab/ all who are concerned, Your comment has come to my notice only today and therefore, this belated response. I have been listening to the ghazals of Hariharan Saab for the last 33 years since 1985 when I happened to purchase his first L.P. album for my stereo, l am now 68 years old. However, no any discernible flaw in his pronounciation, while rendering ghazals, has come to my notice ever since. What is more heartening to note is that after the emergence of the great Mehdi Hassan Saab, arrival of Hariharan Saab is the next best thing to happen on the ghazal horizon of India! Although,there is no dispute over the fact that the great Mehdi Hassan was the first amongst its equals as an exponent of ghazal gayiki! He had given ghazal gayiki a pedestal which will be difficult to surpass! As a matter of fact, the great Mehdi Hassan Saab was a multidimensional and multidisciplinary singer who had proved his worth in each and every discipline of music -- be it Khayal, Thumri, Ghazal or Playback Singing in films! Perhaps, such a resourceful musician will ever be born again in this world! While, the great Mehdi Hassan Saab is my all time favourite singer ; amongst the new comers, I have found Hariharan Saab to be the most promising! In the same breath, it's heartening to note that Hariharan Saab is trying to follow the traditions set by the great Mehdi Hassan Saab and has been able to get a foothold in the process! Hariharan Saab's voice has clarity, quality, depth and wide range which is eminently suitable for ghazal gayiki! Further,, he has complete control over Labz, Sur, Taal, and Loy! Besides, he has got the rare ability of rendering ghazals very soulfully in a style which is very unique to him! Perhaps, there should not be any other opinion on the fact that all these attributes have enabled Hariharan Saab to blossom into a complete ghazal gayak in the truest sense of the term! Hariharan Saab has already completed almost four decades as a successful exponent of ghazal gayiki! His endeavour towards popularising ghazal gayiki in India has been able to earn laurels from the pundits and connoisseurs of music alike across the world! Therefore, Hariharan Saab certainly deserves a pat on his back from all discerning music lovers for his stupendous contributions to the World Of Music in general and Ghazal Gayiki in particular! Let us stand up and salute this immensely talented singer for his stupendous contributions to the World Of Music! -- Amarendra Borah, Former Commissioner and Secretary, Finance Department, Govt Of Assam (India).

@@amarendraborah6941 sir you are 100% true, n there should be no comparison with great Mehdi hasan saheb to anyone , He is still King of gazal gayki n will remain

@@ajaypratapsingh2600 Saab,. Thanks for the compliment ! To be very true, the great Mehdi Hassan Saab Saab was miles ahead of his contemporaries and juniors as an exponent of ghazal gayiki in so far as his control over Lafz, Sur, Taal, and Loy is concerned ! A singer of the caliber and brilliance of the great Mehdi Hassan Saab is born only once in a millennium !

John Ditta sahab , hariharan bilashuba Mehdi sb k Bohot bary fan hein auer unka andaz b follow b karty hn lakiN ager app ye samajty hein k in jesa koi nahe ga sakta to ye bat durust nahi . MALIK KA ASAAAN HE K ME KHUD MEHDI SB KA STUDENT HU . I CAN GIVE YOU A NEVER ENDING LIST OF SINGERS WHO SING MEHDI SB FAR BETTER THAN HARI G . I WILL NAME A FEW USTAD GHULAM ABBAS SB THE LIVING LEGEND ASIF MEHDI SB PERVEZ MEHDI SB LATE SHAMOUN FIDA,

John Ditta aur ager ilM se daleel du to hariharan ki awaz me kharaj ki kami he . He still needs practice to sing mehdi sb . Secondly , his variations are undue . Most importantly , his expression is not good enough. However I agree that he is a good Ghazal singer

Yeah bro you are right Ustad Ghulam Abbas is living legend.. Shamoun fida sahib ki kea bat hai.. ab Ustad Gulam ali k shagird hogaye wo..

Yes I know shamoun bhai very well . Haunting baritone voice

Thanks for the list! Will listen to them just now.

❤️❤️❤️

Uttam very nice tabla signing

KiranRizwan

True ! Also before Mubarak Begum it was sung by Khursheed miya ghaznavi ... would be great if someone could share that as well

@@vtlbz Mubarak Begum's composition of this ghazal was in Raga Malkauns!

Adeel Khan thanks for the correction gbu

Khan sahib Raz-e- gham hi keh rahe hein Janab.

Sir yeh to darust hai lekin bahut se Urdu speaking Raj-maa Jise kehte hain woh to Raj-Mah hoti hai jo ham. Khate hain. Maa ko to slam kiya jata hai khaya nahin. Jata. All in all Hari Haran ji is a good singer. Enjoy singing.

Gurpreet Singh I dont know dear.

tum Muslim Ho to Urdu jyada aayegi. singer ko shayree ka itna gyaan hota hai.

Maf krna but lgta h Apne abhi suna nhi hariharan ji ko

Ustad ghulam Mustafa or ustad Mehdi hasan ji ...hariharan ji k guru hai to hariharn jinse sikhe hai to phir kuchh na kuchh to asar hoga bhai...❤

wel said

Why not at least that much calibre to show that guts we should always appreciate honest try ....

Propriety demands that one should try to inculcate the habit of seeing the goodness in others as well ; instead of finding fault on every available opportunity, on the slightest of pretext, and at the drop of a hat ! It raises one's spiritual level by several notches up !

Gias Ahmed you are!!

Mr Sharma, Mr Hariharan’s pronunciation is not correct for this song and most of his Urdu ghazals. No doubt, he is one of the foremost singers of the subcontinent, but Urdu Kafi, ghazals etc need this pronunciations to correct to begin with... If you listen to Mehdi Hassan’s original version, you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Gias Ahmed Which word he pronounced wrongly??

Sharmaji, you are the beholder. You clearly like the way he sang this song. All I can say is when a genre of music that is purely North Indian, with the best efforts this can be heard as not exactly inherent under these circumstances. Maybe I’m too much of a puritan when it comes to genres like ghazal, Kafi etc.

gias aapka Urdu knowledge adhura hai. ungli Baad me uthana. Muslim hone se Urdu nahee aatee. kai jagah to ghulam Ali bhi galat bol gaye hai. par wo jante nahee yeah kahna galat hai.
