Daag Dehlvi داغ دہلوی
Nawab Mirza Khan Daagh (نواب مرزا خان) was born in 1831 in Delhi. He lost his father at a young age and was raised by his step father, Mirza Muhammed Fakhroo (heir to Bahadur Shah Zafar). In 1865, Daag left Delhi for Rampur where he joined government service and lived comfortably. He spent the later part of his life in Hyderabad.
Daag started reciting poetry at the age of ten. His forte was ghazal. He was a romantic shayar and he shunned wine.
Daag Dehlvi passed away in 1905.
I have attempted one of his very popular ghazals made unforgettable by Rafi Sahab. Music director is Khayyam.

Ghazab kiyaa, tere vaade pe aitabaar kiyaa

kuchh aitabaar kiyaa aur kuchh naa-aitabaar kiyaa

Wah Parasmaniji, Kya gaaya aapne, mujhe aisa lag raha hai jaise ke main koi record sun raha hu.Wohi feel and lovely tone :) aisa lagta hai ke Rafi sahab ki yeh ghazal female version bhi hai aur aapne gaaya hai ushe.Really enjoyed
Good luck and best wishes
Paras,
Wah! Dil, khush kar diya. What a choice of Ghazal to begin this New Year. Sincerely, you have sung so nicely that mere pass koyi alfaaz nahi hai. I must be listening this ghazal after a long time and your clarity, diction and expression is totally outstanding. It's very rare that people attempt such ghazals and you have sung very nicely.
Rafi and Khayyam were the only two names familiar to me in this post, but I must say you sang it very well. It inspired me to search for the original and listen :) Hopefully I ll find the original one...
Well sung! It was one of my favorites when I was more young!
I have listened to your Waqt ne Kiya..today.That too is also well sung.
I don't know if you know that Jagjeet Singh has sung a few of his favorite old songs in his album- Close to my Heart. He has sung them very well. If you like his singing then do down load that album and listen..It has one of the finest music arrangements by Deepak Pandit-his violinist.
Keep it up!
Beautiful rendition of a classic ghazal!
Beautiful rendition Paras ...liked it very much though not heard the original.
Happy new year.
Created a real Ghazal Mood...Great rendering Paras!
It is great!! thank you so much paras for sharing.
a very fresh and soulful rendition of this nice song
thanks again

Thanks Nandita for your comment on diction. Very kind of you!
Thanks NVK, Kalpak, Pravin, Azam, Harshan, Rajesh and Anish for your support. I really appreciate it.
Dilshad...Aap ne ye ghazal suni aur mera hausla badhaya..aap ka bahot, bahot shukriya.
Dinesh..when it comes to lifting a human spirit, you are one of the best.
Never heard this song before but you sang it beautifully ... feel was very nice!
What a rendition ! paras..Awesome !!!
Deblina... thanks for listening to this ghazal and your kind remarks.
I was very surprised that so many people have not heard the original ghazal, since it is among Rafi Sahab's (if not #1) top 2-3 non filmi ghazals.
I am glad I made a humble attempt at reviving this "not to be forgotten- ghazal" by Daag+Khayyam+Mohammed Rafi.
Sowmya...thanks for your support!
Hi Dr. Parasmani,
Haven't heard this song before or the name Daag Dehlvi. I'm bit educated now. Thanks.
Wonderful job you've done here. Enjoyed listening to it. Melodious new year to you and Dr. Ajay.
Keep Singing ... me listening

Parasmaniji, this is too wonderful, I mean the way you have rendered this lovely ghazal. It is the most popular non-filmy ghazal by Rafi Sahab and you have done full justice to it. It has been my favourite too for ages.
Wow, you have such a beautiful voice and this gazal is sooo soothing to hear. Great job and thanks for the treat.
Beautiful rendition. I am impressed.
Thanks Shantha, I am glad I could pay respect to these (superior)artists.
Thanks A S Murty Sahab. I am happy that you could listen to this rendition.
TC..thanks so much!
Cherie Sahab, encouraging remarks for and from the people you do not know, mean a lot. Thanks for your time.
Never heard this before, but i really liked it in your voice, beautifully rendered with perfect diction.
You have done a great job at bringing out the feelings of this ghazal. The clarity of words and pronunciations are unparalleled.
Well sung! - Mala
Thanks Dhiraj and Mala.
Dhiraj..it would be nice to see some activity on your blog.
Thanks Ajay for mixing this ghazal.

Thank you, Parul.
Caught me by surprise -and a pleasant one at that. I had heard Rafi Sahaab's Ghazab Kiya in the Sixties - and now.
A lovely selection beautifully rendered, Parasmaniji!
Thanks so much, Bhai Sahab!
