Hi Jagdish,
Here is your request ;

Yeh Daag Daag Ujaala Yeh Shab Gazeeda Safar
Woh Intezaar Tha Jiska Yeh Woh Sehar Toh Nahin______Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Thanks Anu!!
I am not too sure, but looks like this one is from Intezaar.. Is Dileep Kumar giving the commentary?

Ji Jagdish , This is from Intezaar & You guessed that right........ thats Dilip Kumar

Are Anu ye "Ji" ki zaroorat nahi hai. Jagdish se kaam aasaani se chal jaayega...

Dear Anupamaji and Jagdish,

I listened to this Nazm a long time after downloading it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Is it from the movie Intezaar made in Pakistan in 1956 and in which Noor Jehan acted ? Who is/was Madhurani ? How does Dilip Kumar end up introducing this piece (? part of an album unrelated to the movie) ? What are the other pieces in the album ?Can you provide more information ?

I am uploading it for those who have not heard this beautiful nazm.

Prabhakar

Awesome upload thanks so much Prabhakar.

If I may step in...the rendition is from a non-film album called "Intezar" that (IIRC) came out in the late 1990s. It had about 7-8 ghazals/nazms sung by Madhurani, a Mumbai-based ghazal singer who was quite popular in the 1980s. Penaaz Masani is one of her students. Dilip Kumar introduced the album as a whole and this specific nazm separately. The only other recording I know of where one can hear Madhurani's voice is in the film "Alaap" - hers is one of the voices in the song "na_ii rii lagan".

I don't much care for Madhurani's mannered renditions, but some of the pieces in the album were good - I especially remember the nazm "meraa dard naGamaa-e-besadaa" and the ghazal "tere Gam ko jaa.N kii talaash thii".

Warm regards
Abhay

Thank you, Abhaypji, for the information. Do you or does any member of the forum have any other ghazals from this album that they may share with us ?

While doing internet search on Madhurani, I found an intereview of Kavita Krishnamurthy by Avinash Ramchandani in which Kavita Krishanmurthy talks about Madhurani and this is the segment from that interview :

AR: Which singer do you most admire?
Kavita: In films, definitely Lata Mangeshkar. She heads the list as far as I am concerned. But otherwise in the field of classical music, there is a lady called Kishoria Mankar, she is mind-boggling. She is one in a century. There is an artist who is excellent in ghazals. She is probably not as well known as many other people, but her name is Madhurani. She is simply brilliant. Those three singers, Kishoria (?? Kishori) Mankar, Madhurani and Lataji.
(www.planetbollywood.com/people/kavita.html)

Any one with any music by the other singer - Kishori(a) Mankar ?

Prabhakar

Is that Kishori Amonkar probably?

My guess is that the singer being referred to Kishori Amonkar - and she is a giant in the field of classical music. I will upload a few tracks in the Raag Rang threads.

Shaibaal

Great Upload Anupama ji .

Also thank you to Prabhakar for recycling Anupama's original upload, so that members who missed it the first time may be able to download now.

Prabhakar

Prabhakar Jee,
Please read y'r personal email.

Prabhakar: Not sure what Fayz's email says to you but if you still need these ghazals, I will rip them over the weekend and post them.

Warm regards
Abhay

Prabhakar Jee,

Because i dont know if i can post it on HF, because of the date 2004.
Thats why it would like to email this.

I got them, have not listened to them yet. Thank you, Fayzbhai.

Prabhakar

I got them from Fayzji and as the post from him says you can not upload it here because of the year.

Thank you for your offer.

Prabhakar

superb collection. Beautiful voice

Can't find the torrent??

I am one of those fortunates who have the privilege of knowing Madhurani personally and have listened to her live. In ghazal singing, There is no one near her in comparison. She is a long time disciple of Begum Akhtar and accompanied her during her various concerts in 50's and 60's. She is guru of Peenaz.
She has not recorded many ghazals and the album Intezar is the only one in open.
She has settled down in Mumbai. She also happened to be a judge in one of the music reality shows hosted by sonu nigam a few years back.

Vinod
