Legendary Mehdi Hassan sahab. I had the honor of attending his live concert in Chicago during his 1982 visit. After the concert my uncle and I were able to meet him back stage for five minutes. I will never forget that once-in-a-lifetime moment. May you always rest in eternal peace Hassan sahab.
As a child, I would meet him every evening at Asr prayers. His son had a car repair shop at our apartment complex. Never realized how big an artist I had met so many times. He would shake hands with us and caress our cheeks with such elderly love.
I can very well recollect the moment, at 3:15 am IST on 4th May 1998. I was studying for my Engineering third year when from a long distance, my attention could not escape from listening to a heavenly voice. Gazal was "Chirag-e-Tur jalao bada andhera hai". I was mesmerized. I was not then knowing the magician. I dropped my exam to find the treasure. The only thread I was having to reach the treasure were these words - "Chirag-e-Tur jalao". I was then staying in a relatively smaller town in India. I kept on searching for this gazal & after 6-7 months of search, I found this gazal. I found myself in tears. God promise, since then I lost interest in Lata, Rafi, Kishor, Ghulam Ali, Jagjit singh & all the rest of the singers. I found God. Come what may! But, I can't ever commit suicide simply because I would not be able to listen to Mehdi Hassan saheb. Indebted forever to the great legend for bringing ecstasy to my life with his timeless melodies. What more can I say? Love & salute from India!
Thank You for sharing your story..very emotional moment for you that was..I also dont listen to the names you mentioned as I used to in my growing up years..Rafi Saahab still I do listen. But I slowly began to realize that how far we are from listening to real music, divine music. India is still besotted by filmy playback music..I wont name but lot of the ghazal singers in India and also qawwali music in India just dont have it..The level of ecstasy, taiyyari and musical acumen needed is simply not there..Indian classical is fine but when I listen to Roshan Ara Begum, Salamat Ali Khaa Saahab, Bade Fateh Ali Khaa Saahab, Shoukat Hussain Khaa Saahab I feel enamored and wondering. Even Zakir Bhai and Vishwa Mohan Bhatt have confessed it in public..It is on record...Thank You again. From Mumbai, India
So well written!! I grew up listening to ghulam ali, sabri brothers, jagjit singh... had only heard ranjish hi sahi from mwhdi hassan. Was a big ghulam ali fan. Once i heard him say "main toh khan saab ke charanon ki dhool hoon" i thought he was being too modest , till i heard other gems by Mehdi saab. My god , like you rightly said its pure ecstacy!! I always get goosebumps listening to him
I can truly relate ,thanks for sharing your real feelings about god of ghazals I can feel your each n every expression, most of listeners must have experienced this ,that time of radio transistors was so wonderful. Those were the days.
Sir Mehdi Hassan and his Family use to live in our neighbourhood (FB Area, Karachi) - their house was just infront of us.. I was a kid going to school those days so never understood who was he until I grew up but by then he was no more and I was no longer in Pakistan.. I so wish to roll back years and go back to 80s so I can pay tribute to this legend!
A lot of great people live around us, but we are more fascinated by those who are at a distance, and who, the world tells us , are great. We should give the greatness that exists around us more respect.
Not probably greatest ever ghazal singer, he was the greatest. There is no other singer who gave an iconic identity to ghazal singing than Mehdi Hasan Sb. The art of ghazal singing died alongwith his death.
O my god. In detention centres many inmates would humm........Kafas udas hai yaro Saba se kuch tou kaho. Faiz has written so much about tyranny. Brave poet.
Ustad Mehdi Hassan Sahib, I salute you. I have no words. I have only tears in my eyes to show how much I miss you. Allah Paak aap kay darjaat buland farmaye. Aameen Summa Aameen.
I wish I could understand Mehdi Hassan Saab’s singing 15 years back when he was alive…I had this privilege to treat his son and grand kids at my office…ahhh I missed the opportunity to meet him… The complete control of Surrr at high and low notes one and only Mehdi saab…take a bow…
Masterpiece by Mehdi Sahab. You can see his interaction with tabla master.Both of them have perfect co ordination and are enjoying the performance. Mehdi Sahab is pouring out his heart which makes this gazal immortal. Kudos to the master.
कितनी बार यह ग़ज़ल सुनी,और ऐसा कभी नहीं हुआ कि आँखों से हर बार बरसात न हुई हो,कारण आज तक मालूम न हो सका।महदी हसन साहब की आवाज़ का जादू ,ग़ज़ल का एक एक शब्द और संगीत कुल मिला कर ऐसा असर कर जाते हैं कि यह इस जहाँ की composition लगती ही नहीं,divine . और फिर यह भी तो लगता है कि जो ग़ज़लें महदी हसन साहब गा ग ए , वो किसी और की आवाज़ में दिल के आर पार हो ही नही सकी, हालांकि अच्छी गाईं भी ग ईं,,,,,पर दिल को न छू पाईं। वाक ई महदी हसन साहब की गाई ग़ज़लों पर बात करनी मुझे मुश्किल ही लगती है.......
1982, that is the year I was born, I got chance to listen this version around 15 years back and till now refreshes me, lot of new singers tried there best to match the level but ustad Mehdi hassan sahab is legendary
Seema G i am one of a fan of Ustaad Mehdi Hasan Sahib even i heared this wonderful ghazal thousand time but feels first amazing amazing amazing you're Ustaad Sahib may God take your soul in peace Aameen
I attended his performance on Bombay. I do no remember the year. Ustad Mehdi Hasan is a great gazal king and the more I hear him . More I love to hear him I feel that he is the best gazal singer
It seems it is being sung by Ustad Sahib live, every time it is listened. It is just felt while it is being sung. A masterpiece poetry of respected Faiz Ahmad Faiz sahib along with the Ustad Mehdi Sahib.
1 Sun 1 Moon 1 Mehdi Hassanji (Peace Be Upon His Musical Devine Soul) Great Solfull Voice. I had an honor to c his Albert Hall concert and to meet him latter personally few times at my friends house in Hornchurch UK.

It seems it is being sung by Ustad Sahib live, every time it is listened. It is just felt while it is being sung. A masterpiece poetry of respected Faiz Ahmad Faiz sahib along with the Ustad Mehdi Sahib.
Dil k taar chehr dete hi Khan Sahab ki awaz
Heart felt,fascinating,sweet delicious ghazal by the poet and coloured with honey coated vocal of Mehdi Hassan ,the great.Swat.
It was a great poem written by Sir Faiz Ahmed Faiz & Ustad mehdi Hassan made it unforgettable poem by his voice ( Jadogar)
OMG the resonance can be felt in his voice at 3:28
I must appreciate the Tabalchi's skills, the way he has synchronized the tabla with the singer's lips.
