Hamara Forums _ Ghazals, Nazms and Geet _ Ustad Amanat Ali Khan

Posted by: anurag Jul 20 2004, 09:49 AM

I want to start a new thread in respect of Ustad Amanat Ali Khan who passed away two years back and whose sedate singing lured many hearts around the world. I'll post two of his popular ghazals to begin with...

Taken from: http://www.musicalnirvana.com/hindustani/amanat_ali_khan.html
Ustad Amanat Ali Khan and Ustad Fateh Ali khan (19??-19??), (b.1935) Profile


Profile
Ustad Amanat Ali Khan and Ustad Fateh Ali khan are great Patiala gharana singers based in Pakistan. Before the untimely death of Amanat Ali Khan, they used to sing together. Later Ustad Fateh Ali khan took over the mantle and became one of the most important Hindustani singers living in Pakistan.

Amanat Ali Khan and Fateh Ali khan were the sons of Akhtar Husain Khan and grandsons of Ali Bux Khan, the founder of Patiala Gharana. They started giving concerts at an early age and were recognized as court musicians of the Patiala king.

After independence, the brothers decided to migrate to Pakistan. Their concerts on Radio Lahore were quite popular and they toured the whole sub continent giving concerts and became the representatives of Patiala gharana in Pakistan. After the tragic demise of the elder brother Amanat Ali Khan, Fateh Ali Khan was so shocked that he gave up singing for a few years. Later, Fateh Ali Khan took up singing again, pairing with younger brother Amjad Ali Khan and later with nephew Amjad Amanat Ali Khan. Like all other Hindustani musicians migrating to Pakistan, Amanat Ali Khan and Fateh Ali Khan have also explored light classical forms like thumri and ghazals.

Ustad Fateh Ali Khan has also tried to popularize Hindustani music in the west, extensively touring US and Europe. Recently he has been working with Norwegian government promoting Indian classical music there. He has also worked with well known Norwegian saxophonist Jan Gabarek.

They were conferred the "Pride Of Performance" medal by the government of Pakistan.

Posted by: Wehshee Sep 4 2004, 07:39 PM

Thanks.

I just have one CD by Amanat Ali Khan and that too of ghazals only, no classical. I am listening to classical stuff by him now only, thanks to wehshee.

Here is a link to a site that hosts some of his work:

http://www.pakwatan.com/main/Entment/singers/album_detail.php3?ID=58

Posted by: Wehshee Sep 6 2004, 07:26 PM

thank you for your appreciation friends.

anurag:

the link u gave was for his son, asad amanat ali.. although i didnt find time to go through the whole site to look for ustaad amanat ali khan's cd.

actually there are only a very few ghazals that are widely available, (two cds). I have a couple of more thumris by ustad amanat ali and fateh ali khan. i will upload them soon. they are all wonderful.

then there are some semi classical compositions he has sung. e.g, "aa mere pyaar ki khushbu manzil pe tujhe pohonchay (darbari)", "piya nahi aaey(bageshri.. i think)" a duet with noor jahan, "data torey dwaar main gaaon(not sure which raga)", "pyar nahi hai surr se jisko woh moorakh insaan nahi(malkauns)", and the legendary composition in raga darbari by his brother ustaad fateh ali "nain se nain milaey rakhne ko"

i had these, but on audio casettes, if any body has anyone of these (or an other non-ghazal item) it'll be great.

if anybody wants his ghazals i have a few more.

Peace...

Wheshee, you are right. I was just searching at google for Sanjiv some sites where he could download from and in haste copied and pasted the link - didn't look at the the pic.

Sanjiv, here it is : http://www.apnahafizabad.com/site/songs.htm

BTW, if you'd like to download them, just right click on the down arrow button next to the song and then save.

Hopefully, someone will notice this and do the needful!

I have heard whispering melodies by him. Nothing beyond that!

Thanks Anurag for the trouble. where can i find lyrics of Maine yaar ko sone na diya. some one dear to me wants to sing the song provided the lyrics are available.

Sanjiv

Do a search at google with various search strings. I don't know any sites that provide lyrics. If I need something, I just search.

Otherwise, you can listen to the song, write the lyrics yourself in good
old fashioned way of pre-Internet era and pass it on to your dear. biggrin.gif

HTH.

Posted by: Wehshee Sep 7 2004, 07:37 PM

AAAARGH !!!!

couldn't help myself..

here are the lyrics, the best to my understanding (they make sense too) thumbs-up.gif

yaar ko maine mujhe yaar ne soney na diya
raat bhar taal-e-baidaar ne soney na diya

ek shab bulbul-e-betaab ke jaagey na naseeb
pehlu-e-gul ne kabhi khaar ne soney na diya

raat bhar ki dil-e-betaab ne baaten mujhse
ranj-o-mehnet ke giraftaar ne soney na diya

(then again)
ek shub bulbul-betaab ke jaagey na naseeb
pehlu-e-gul ne kabhi khaar ne soney na diya

peace...

That'd be fantastic, Sanjiv. In anticipation..

Who knows our resident male singer Imran and your wife can sing a duet for us as well.. biggrin.gif

Posted by: Wehshee Sep 9 2004, 12:34 AM

well now we know guys keh after all mp3 problem ke peehe "mamoon ji" ka hi haath tha

i guess main woh thumri dobara upload kardoonga in zip format. something that nice should stay here. what do u say?

rest of the stuff (ghazals from whispering memories) are common.

oh, i remembered, i have an album called "raag se ghazal tak" in which these brothers sing a thumri (or khyaal) in a certain raga and then sing a ghazal in the same raga. i can rip it and post it if u guys want. them being my fav, i think its fantastic. smile1.gif

plus i am anxiously waiting for a sftware (a free one) that can cut down the noise from my audio cassettes. i have a few very good things to contribute. (emphasis beng on the word "few")
