She was my grandfather's cousin, perhaps a very close one. Her real name was Sahibzadi Mumtazullah Khan, born in Rampur, in an aristocrat family. A very strong character and bold, my grandmother.
I have never seen anyone read this masterpiece with such calm and full of expression. She uttered every word with precise timing. Her Urdu “TALAFUZ”or Pronunciation is right on the mark. Beautiful! RIP
I am listening to this on the eve of Independence day, Faiz is more relevant today than ever. Zohra Begum has captured the spirit of this poem which is usually lost when professional singers sing. Covering pain with silk & fur does not make it go away.

Madam Noor Jahan's rendition of Faiz's poetry is immortal. But Zohra Sehgal's recitation is equally touching. And in these uncertain COVID times, Faiz sounds almost clairvoyant. Notice how Zohra changes the tone of the first line - at the very end. Wow, what an artist. Like all great magicians, she saves the best for the very end!
Zohra Ji has interpreted this intense nazm with her soul. Captured its essence and expressed it beautifully. RIP Zohra Ji, Faiz sahib and the innumerable many who suffered and died at the hands of despots. Ameen
While reading this, I never saw tears in anyone's eyes. For the first time I felt this thing here that she was the only one who is feeling it,and completely into it. No words just a feeling.😭
This is the first video which almost got the tears. What a rendering of a beautiful poetry of Faiz Sahib by one and only Zahra Sehgal. Hats off to the team that captured it. Loved the way the camera followed her hands at places. Wow. God bless you folks.
MashaALLAH, Amazing presentation saying n explaining Faiz Sahab's chaste Urdu Poetry in such a simplest body gesture is itself the witness of the saying "Action speaks louder than words". Just Adorable..
What do I say, she is a school in herself. Her intonation, expressions just priceless and then i look at her weary skin. This woman carries in her the experience of nearly seven decades. By the way Amma and Family used to be my favorite tv serial
Türkçesi Sorma sevgilim sana olan aşkımı Sandım ki hayat hep harikulade kalacak benim olsan Zamanın verdiği gam neydi ki, senden kalan gam varken Suretin baharların sebatına sebepti Gözlerinden başka bir dünya bilmiyordum Sana kavuşsam kader önümde boyun eğecekti Ben istemedim böyle olsun, temennim bu değildi Sadece aşkın zulmü yok zamanımızda Kavuşmaktan başka mutluluklar da var Sayısız yüzyıllardan geçip gelen vahşi karanlık büyü İpekle, satenle, sırmalı kumaşlara sarılmış Sokakta pazarda insan bedenleri satışta Tozla kaplanmış, kana bulanmış İllet ocaklarından bedenler toplanıyor Çürümüş nasırlarından cerahat fışkırıyor Ne yapayım bazen gözüm oralara gidiyor Şimdi dahi güzelliğin beni büyülüyor ama ne yapayım Sadece aşkın zulmü yok zamanımızda Kavuşmaktan başka mutluluklar da var Sorma sevgilim sana olan aşkımı
Surekha Sikri ji's recitation brought me here, and yet another fine example of a masterclass act. For people who are drawing comparisons between the two versions, it's not pertinent. Surekha ma'am masterfully recited the poem, whilst Zohra ma'am performed it!

Yes!! That's gonna be my bio!
Indeed.
Hayee i have tears in my eyes, am blessed that am just 17 and Allah blessed me with interest in literature, society , gender studies
Gender studies?
Wtf is gender studies?
Hey
I have never seen anyone read this masterpiece with such calm and full of expression. She uttered every word with precise timing. Her Urdu “TALAFUZ”or Pronunciation is right on the mark. Beautiful! RIP
With precise timing.Her Urdu Tallafuss is beautiful ❤️
I spent 15 mins searching "Talafuz" in the recitation and then the written work!😂🤦

Listen Surekha Sikri
RIP the grand old lady who lived life Large
Rest in peace
Thank you for all the love. She was a truly amazing lady.
She is a pretty lady, understands Urdu, recites Faiz very well. I love her!

Abdul Qudus indeed. They think it's a love song, but it's so much more than that. It's deeply political.
@@thehalalyid418 how so
Mujh se pehli si muhabbat
Mere mehboob na maang (x4)
Beloved, don’t ask me to
Love you as I loved you before
Maine samjha tha ke tu hai to darakhshaan hai hayaat
Tera gham hai to gham-e dahr ka jhagda kya hai
I had assumed that as long as I have you, life is radiant
What anguish in the world could possibly rival the anguish of being without you
Teri soorat se hai ‘aalam mein bahaaron ko sabaat
Teri aankhon ke siva duniya mein rakkha kya hai
Teri aankhon ke siva duniya mein rakkha kya hai
Tu jo mil jaaye to taqdeer nigoon ho jaaye
Yoon na tha main ne faqat chaaha tha yoon ho jaaye
Your face is what lends permanence to springtime in this world
What is there in the world except for the beauty of your eyes
What is there in the world except for the beauty of your eyes
If I gain you, destiny would bow down before me
It wasn’t so, I had merely wanted it to be so
Haan.. Mujh se pehli si muhabbat mere mehboob na maang
Mujh se pehli si muhabbat mere mehboob na maang
Beloved, don’t ask me to love you as I loved you before
Beloved, don’t ask me to love you as I loved you before

The dark and savage enchantment of countless centuries
Woven into silk and satin and brocade
Bodies everywhere being sold in lanes and marketplaces
Caked with dirt and bathed in blood
Lauṭ jaati hai idhar ko bhi nazar kya keeje

Ab bhi dil-kash hai tera husn magar kya keeje
Aur bhi dukh hain zamaane mein muhabbat ke siva
Raahatein aur bhi hain wasl ki raahat ke siva
My gaze returns here as well, what can I do?
Your beauty is still enchanting, but what can I do?

Her recital makes me cry at the end..... how amazing it is that how eachone's style makes huge difference.

She nailed it.🙏🙏🙏
Total respect from the bottom of my heart......
Keep coming back to this. One of the best recitals ever.
zohra ji was a gem!
she looks like my grandmother whenever i see her i start missing my grandmother ....may ur soul rest in peace
i’ve been listening to this before going to bed everyday for a week, thankyou so much
While reading this, I never saw tears in anyone's eyes. For the first time I felt this thing here that she was the only one who is feeling it,and completely into it.
No words just a feeling.😭
Wow wow wow, she was the university of acting!! Her eyes had the sparkle and what rendition of the immortal kalaam by Faiz.
I would like to hug you for this, and the team who made this video possible.
Thanks Ravi.
Listening to her is an experience in itself. Hand gestures and face expressions weaves a thread to permanently tie you to Faiz Sahab's lines. ❤️
Just love the way she recited this masterpiece.listen this every now and then
Wow, she makes this nazm so sound so easy to recite when we all know it isn’t.
Very beautiful and expressive recital by Zohra Sehgal . Always come back to this recitation . Thanks for posting this master piece .
Most beautiful recitation of this poem ever. Her voice, expressions, and the words.. She is a language herself .. Miss you Lilly Pop! 💖😢
This masterpiece couldn't have been rendered in a more beautiful way than by this great Lady...Respect for both the Writer and the Narrator
This is a TRUE Gem of Faiz Sahab's Poetry Explanation.
I keep coming back to this video
Literally a masterpiece. The way she is reciting it is remarkable. I keep coming back to this every time. ❤
Simply awed! Leaving a comment so I don't lost track of this video. Love from Toronto, CA
I am speechless. She is a school in herself. Look at her expressions, her involvement. She immortalises what we call a true artist. Much love Zohraji.

She recites every word with authentic emotion. This is a great work of art. Well done, Ms. Sehgal!

No body could recite faiz better than her. So amazing.
This is how one must recite a poem..love it....❤

Ek Shayari ko kahani ka jism de diya ❤ yun toh Faiz saab ki shayari ki kitaben hain par inki jubaan se sunna sukoon deta hai 🧡
Türkçesi
Sorma sevgilim sana olan aşkımı
Sandım ki hayat hep harikulade kalacak benim olsan
Zamanın verdiği gam neydi ki, senden kalan gam varken
Suretin baharların sebatına sebepti
Gözlerinden başka bir dünya bilmiyordum
Sana kavuşsam kader önümde boyun eğecekti
Ben istemedim böyle olsun, temennim bu değildi
Sadece aşkın zulmü yok zamanımızda
Kavuşmaktan başka mutluluklar da var
Sayısız yüzyıllardan geçip gelen vahşi karanlık büyü
İpekle, satenle, sırmalı kumaşlara sarılmış
Sokakta pazarda insan bedenleri satışta
Tozla kaplanmış, kana bulanmış
İllet ocaklarından bedenler toplanıyor
Çürümüş nasırlarından cerahat fışkırıyor
Ne yapayım bazen gözüm oralara gidiyor
Şimdi dahi güzelliğin beni büyülüyor ama ne yapayım
Sadece aşkın zulmü yok zamanımızda
Kavuşmaktan başka mutluluklar da var
Sorma sevgilim sana olan aşkımı
Aisye nayaab kalakar kahan milenge ab? God bless ZohraJi’s soul. She was a Kohinoor of Indian cinema 😍
Waaah yaar is gum se bhare din main bhi dil jeet liya apne❤️

What are legendary artist, Zohra Sehgal. Mesmerizing video.
The command over the language along with expressions are amazing!
Oh !!...Absolutely beautiful !!....What sublime justice she does to Fiaz's awesome lines !!
Agar faiz sahab ne ek hi nazm mujhe pehli si hi kahi hoti , to bhi woh itne hi sarahe jaate jitne ki aaj
اور بھی دکھ ہیں زمانے میں محبت کے سوا
راحتیں اور بھی ہیں وصل کی راحت کے سوا
Beautiful. Just beautiful. I'm speechless. And it's 2020. How could I have missed this Gem 💎!
I've just uploaded the full film as well.

She is the only one who read full nazm. Every other singer skipped the line "jism niklay huye amraaz k tandooroon se". Splendid.
Ah !! There is only one Faiz & one Zohra & their combination is Aflatoon !!
Its something else.Roohaniyat hai chehre pe mam ke 😍🤩
She recited and she touched the hearts. She smiled and I felt the happiness with me.
What a powerful lady she was😍😍

Mallika e tarannum has made this poem eternal with her magical voice
This filled my heart with love and pain both. Zohra ji you inspire the aeons to come.
India's grandmother. So much love to you zohra ji.
I have seen many people reciting it but none as beautiful.
This is how Faiz would have wanted it to be, cried myself to sleep.
O God! ... beautiful. In depth beautiful. True justice to this ghazal. Its not the lyrics rather the way of saying the lyrics thats beautiful.
wow...heartfelt rendition
Lady, you are the greatest - poetry does not necessarily need a tune and you proved it.
How beautifully recited..with feelings and right, best expressions.....Thank u so much Mam......,,,
her reactions are priceless
