When I heard the original sung by Mukesh, I wondered at the simplicity of
this beautifully written song, singer and composer. I could not imagine any
changes to this song. Today, I have changed my mind. I discovered
Jagjit's version of this song, sung in his style. I liked it a lot.
Unfortunately, Jagjit recorded his version of the song when he was on the
decline and trying to rescue his popularity, decided to record this Album.
By this time, the drinking and smoking had really taken a toll on his
voice. However on Jagjit's worst day, he could sing better than billions
of people on this planet. I wish he had sung this 25 years earlier. So
please if you can, forget voice the voice quality and focus on the
beautiful subtle touches which are the hallmark of Jagjit Singh's ghazals
and songs. He has carved his name in the world of music for ever.
