“Aashiq Maaraa Padaa…. Ve Zaalim…. Teri Naram Nigaahki Adaaka….”

 This is an example of Old form of Ghazal, & particularly, this Ghazal contains a Masculine ex-pression …. It is a song of a Neglected Lover…. Thus, carries the Pain of the protagonist, who is moaning musically!  

As Music does have a voice, which is beyond gender…., I had tried to explore this Masculine Feeling of the Bandish through this rendering… which is a five year old rendition…

Like everything else, my mind & music also have undergone change, may be it was a different Prachi who had sung this… Yet, putting it here today at this moment, while looking back, somewhat neutrally!! :O))

The rendition is preceeded by Ghalib’s few all time great ashaar..

“hazaaroN KHwahishaiN 'eisee,

 ke har KHwahish pe dam nikle

bohot  nikle  mere  armaaN 

lekin  fir  bhee  kam  nikle

nikalna KHuld se aadam ka

sunte aayaiN haiN lekin

bohot  be_aabru hokar

tere  kooche  se  ham nikle

mohabbat meiN naheeN  hai farq

jeene aur  marne kaa

usee ko dekh kar jeete haiN

jis kaafir pe dam nikle

KHuda  ke  waaste 

parda  na  kaabe  se  uThaa zaalim

kaheeN 'eisa na ho

yaaN bhee wohee kaafir sanam nikle”
