I think I am very very fortunate to listen to her number of times.Besides a programme at Sapru House,I organised many of her 'mehfils' at hotel Janpath, couple of years before her death. She treated me like her own son.
Kia jadu bhari aawaz h....aur kia andaz h.....kia khoob kalam h.....100 baar bhi suno to dil nhi bharta... Allah begum Akhtat sahiba ki maghfirat farmaye. Aameen...
Brij Saab, She is what She Is!!!! In her own world. Our Marathi writer Shri. P.L. Deshpande has written beautiful article on Her. Begumsahiba was very fond of singer Vasantrao Deshpande. In military service Deshapande was transferred to Asam. She sent fake telegram to military office and arranged his transfer to Pune. Great prank... unparellaed like Her. Dr. shekhar Paranjpe.
बेगम अख़्तर साहिबा की बेहतरीन, उम्दा और दिल की गहराईयों में उतर जाने वाली ग़ज़ल। इन यादों को सहेज़ कर रखने वालों का तहेदिल से शुक्रिया। हालांकि शुक्रिया अदा करने के लिए इस नाचीज़ पर अल्फ़ाज़ों की कमी है।
Tabiyat in dino begana-e-gham hoti jaati hai Mere hisse ki goya har khushi kam hoti jaati hai. Qayaamat kya, ye ae husn-e-do-aalam hoti jaati hai ke mehfil to wahi hai, dilkashi kam hoti jaati hai. Wahi mai-khaana-o-sahba, wahi saagar, wahi sheesha magar aawaaz-e-nusha’anosh maddham hoti jaati hai. Wahi hai shaahid-o-saaqi magar dil bujhta jaata hai wahii hai shamma lekin raushni kam hoti jaati hai. Wahi hai zindagi lekin jeh Jigar ye haal hai apna ke jaise zindagi se zindagi kam hoti jaati hai.
Although almost every singer has tried Ghazal singing but no one can even come close to Begum Akhtar Faizabadi unique style and sweet voice which no one else has, not even K L Saigal. God just made one Akhtari Begum and through away the 'mold'. A gift for classis music lovers specially in the subcontinent.
Khan sahib u r right but Plz don't forget Mehdi Hasan .He has set milestone for ghazals to extent that even in next century nobody will be able to change to his style. I would say Mehdi Hasan and Begum akhtar sahib are icons in ghazal history & have set milestones.
My dad and Begham ji were friends. My dad used to work at indian airlines and support her in all her domestic plans. He often tells me the instances of their meetings. He says that this was one of the ghazal he performed at her last concert. He often shares his memories from numerous times they used to meet at hotels in New Delhi and he would visit the rehearsals for concerts at fikki auditorium and taal Katora. I gre up listening to her ❤❤❤
Begum Akhtar is unmatched because no one can easily copy her singing. A versatile noble soul, unfortunately, was born at the wrong place and at wrong time.
Can't stop smiling with tears in my eyes. Same with me... my father used to listen this gazal & many more & i used to wonder what is so great about this useless song, how stupid I was., But now💎💎💎💎💎
wah wah! kya suna diya aapne. I'm a Huge fan of Beghum I can hear her sing for hours..folks this is ghazal as Ghazal should be - not what they are singing...Thanks for sharing this lovely performance.
When you are thirsty, a glass of water is Amrit. No need to go into further details of that water. Similarly after listening this great voice in a style of her own further discussion is meaningless. Many many thanks for uploading this Amrit of music.
I heard Last night Gazal of Begum Akhtar in life first time, and I do realized that the years of life passed With-Out listening that Great Great singer is BIG (ZERO). Haider Abbas
माननीया शायला का शब्द चयन शब्द विन्यास गायकी का कोई जवाब नहीं। लगता है वो ग़ज़ल है की शायरा महसूस कर पाना मुश्किल हो जाता है।नमन उनको और गायकी के रसिकों को भी।
A perfect combination of awaaz, alfaaz and andaaz. Her ever fresh style of ghazal gayaki has immortalised her.She has set standards no one else could achieve.
This is one of the criteria of great singers that they can not be copied.Begum Akhtar and Ustad Barkat Ali khan sahib have maintained their myth on Ghazal and Thumri.No body could even could get close to them.
"Vo hi hai zindagi lekin Jigar ye haal hai apna,/ Ke jaisey zindagi se zindagi kam hoti jati hai//" Maqta of this Ghazal by Jigar Sahab is too deep, and its realization by individuals comes rarely very late, if at all it comes in one's life.
HER VOICE COULD ACHIEVE THE RARE THING IN SINGING, AND WHICH EVERY SINGER ASPIRES FOR, BUT CAN ACHIEVE RARELY i. e. DIVINITY. THAT TOO INSTANTLY. AND THAT IS THE CRUX OF HER ART. HENCE HER EVERY SONG IS IMMORTAL AND THERE IS NOBODY WHO COULD ACHIEVE THAT HEIGHT !
Tops. This video is probably 30 years. Definitely not a film/exposure. Thanks for posting & thanks to all those who care & take the time to record/edit/upload.
Lovely voice, great melody, lyrics, and composition. Superb all the way. So, what is "very old", to me it is still so new and so refreshing..... Thanks for the upload.
Wohi hai zindagi, lekin Jigar yeh haal hai apna, Wohi hai roshni, wohi hain zindagi apni, Jigar yeh haal hai apna, Keh jaise zindagi se zindagi kum hoti jaati hai. Tabiyat in dino begana-e-gam hoti jaati hai.
wah wah she was and still she ic queen of classical music . ghazal thumri all. she .... i cant find words which suffice to express my tribute to this legend
BEGUM AKHTAR - MAY ALLAH SWT BLESS YOUR SOUL. Tabiyat in dinoun bay gana e gham hotee jati hai, Meray hissay ki goya her khushi kam hoti jati hai, Wohi hai zindagi laykin Jiger yeh haal hai apna, Kay jaisay zindagi say zindagi kam hoti jati hai,
Kayamat kya, yeh hai husn-e do alam hoti jaati hai Ke mehfil to wahi hai, dil kashi kum hoti jaati hai, WOhi maikhana-o-saheban, wohi saagar, wohi seesha, Magar awaaz-e naushanam madham hoti jaati hai Wohi hai zahid-o-saaki, magar dil bujhta jaata hai Wohi hai shamma, wohi hai shamma, lekin raushni kum hoti jaati hai
this is a slightly different bandish from the one she recorded later. but it is very nice, indeed. certain places (iraade) are swweeter in this...and some in the other one. my father knew her...and we heard her live at gatherings...sitting a couple of feet away. whenever i meet the queen of ghazals again, i will request her to combine or fuse the 2 compositions. wow! that will be something else...
World can't create another begum Akhtar
I think I am very very fortunate to listen to her number of times.Besides a programme at Sapru House,I organised many of her 'mehfils' at hotel Janpath, couple of years before her death.
She treated me like her own son.
That's amazing Brij Mohanji
Dr. Brij Mohan Bajaj Saaheb...I feel so lucky & privileged to know you having witnessed rendition of such Legendary Ghazal Singer! Salaam to you!💐
I am also one of the lucky who have listened her in Sapru House. In fact she is above all gazal singers india has ever produced. She is unparallel.
Kia jadu bhari aawaz h....aur kia andaz h.....kia khoob kalam h.....100 baar bhi suno to dil nhi bharta...
Allah begum Akhtat sahiba ki maghfirat farmaye. Aameen...

मैं खुद को बड़ा शुक्रगुजार समझता हूँ कि मैं इस दशक में 17 वर्ष का होने के बावजूद nइन पुराने गजलों मे खोया रहता हूँ।
My mother Begum Akhtar's notes soulful songful blissful ..ever touching Siaram and bharatmata....jay jay siaram..
जैसी खुबसूरत आप है.... वैसी ही खुबसूरत आपकी आवाज है.
🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
One of a kind singer. Nobody can touch her. Kohinoor of Indian classical music. God bless your soul mam
Kitni sadgi khubsurti our kitna pyara lahza makhraj madhur komal sukoon our pyar 😢kha chale gaye ye mehfilo wale log our ye mehfile kha he ab

Tabiyat in dino begana-e-gham hoti jaati hai
Mere hisse ki goya har khushi kam hoti jaati hai.
Qayaamat kya, ye ae husn-e-do-aalam hoti jaati hai
ke mehfil to wahi hai, dilkashi kam hoti jaati hai.
Wahi mai-khaana-o-sahba, wahi saagar, wahi sheesha
magar aawaaz-e-nusha’anosh maddham hoti jaati hai.
Wahi hai shaahid-o-saaqi magar dil bujhta jaata hai
wahii hai shamma lekin raushni kam hoti jaati hai.
Wahi hai zindagi lekin jeh Jigar ye haal hai apna
ke jaise zindagi se zindagi kam hoti jaati hai.
Irfanullah Amer Saheb.....Thanks for sharing lyrics.....Waah...Waah... Waah..... Waah.....Kya baat hai.....Kahaan gaye vo log!?
وھی ھے زندگی لیکن "جگر" یہ حال ھے اپنا،
کہ جیسے زندگی سے زندگی کم ھوتی جاتی ھے۔
Thanks
Hài Allah ji .kya bat he mere hisse ki har khushi Kam ho jati he ❤😞

God just made one Akhtari Begum and through away the 'mold'. A gift for classis music lovers specially in the subcontinent.
right
You are entitled to your opinion, but for me nobody comes close to Saigal Saab.
He's just a class above.. Ultimate.
Khan sahib u r right but Plz don't forget Mehdi Hasan .He has set milestone for ghazals to extent that even in next century nobody will be able to change to his style.
I would say Mehdi Hasan and Begum akhtar sahib are icons in ghazal history & have set milestones.
Exactly
The Burial place o this queen is my city LUCKNOW.💛
My dad and Begham ji were friends. My dad used to work at indian airlines and support her in all her domestic plans. He often tells me the instances of their meetings.
He says that this was one of the ghazal he performed at her last concert.
He often shares his memories from numerous times they used to meet at hotels in New Delhi and he would visit the rehearsals for concerts at fikki auditorium and taal Katora.
I gre up listening to her ❤❤❤
Begum Akhtar is unmatched because no one can easily copy her singing. A versatile noble soul, unfortunately, was born at the wrong place and at wrong time.
My favourite gazal singer
Queen of मोशिकी
my late father used to listen to her. i miss him and listen to her now.
Can't stop smiling with tears in my eyes. Same with me... my father used to listen this gazal & many more & i used to wonder what is so great about this useless song, how stupid I was., But now💎💎💎💎💎
Bahut hi khoobsurat aor makhmali awaz ki malik thin begam akhtar sahiba
This is what you may call: a Ghazal !!!
Urdu should have been preserved for its sensitivity . Agree with Noorul Qureshi completely.
मैंने इन्हें भावनगर (सौराष्ट्र) में किसी 'घर-बैठक' में सुना था, जिसकी सुखद स्मृति आज भी यथावत् है।
Undoubtedly the all time best ghazal singer.
Begum Akhter ke fun ki taarif karna chiragh ko roshni dikhane ke mutaradifhai.
Mohammed Y Ahmed
Dr. Brij Mohan Its too later .. yet I appreciate your service of making Begam Akhtar sing and gainig her love as to treat you like her son.
इस आवाज पर कुछ बोलने के लिए मेरे पास तो कम से कम कोई आवाज है बस एक बार सजदा करने को दिल करता है
wah wah! kya suna diya aapne. I'm a Huge fan of Beghum I can hear her sing for hours..folks this is ghazal as Ghazal should be - not what they are singing...Thanks for sharing this lovely performance.
What an experience!!!
Wah Begum Sahib!
No doubt, Begum Akhtar was a complete artist in the traditional ghazal singing. And she imressed the listeners for many ages.
When you are thirsty, a glass of water is Amrit. No need to go into further details of that water. Similarly after listening this great voice in a style of her own further discussion is meaningless. Many many thanks for uploading this Amrit of music.
Thank you so much for sharing this rare video of Begumji. She is synonym to Gazal. Greetings from Nepal
I'm form Bangladesh. any one form Bangladesh I'm now 28
she sang this gazal to another and better tune in the commercial disc.
I heard Last night Gazal of Begum Akhtar in life first time, and I do realized that the years of life passed With-Out listening that Great Great singer is BIG (ZERO). Haider Abbas
कहना चाहते हम भी कुछ । जहा रहते है हम वहां से कहने की कुछ इजाजत नही हमें।।
क्या गला है क्या गले का नूर है माशा अल्लाहा। उतनी ही बढी हसरत जितना ही उधर देखा।
Excellent rendition 🙏

A perfect combination of awaaz, alfaaz and andaaz. Her ever fresh style of ghazal gayaki has immortalised her.She has set standards no one else could achieve.
Nothing Before and nothing after Akhtari Bai.......Hats off........
This is one of the criteria of great singers that they can not be copied.Begum Akhtar and Ustad Barkat Ali khan sahib have maintained their myth on Ghazal and Thumri.No body could even could get close to them.
kyaa baat hai... sur hai yaa shakkar?? bahut lajwaab nagma aur bayaan e alfaaz
This purity in ghazal singing is rarely matched, if ever. Thank you for the music and thank others for the lyrics.
Very hart touching ghazal beautiful
Tabiyat inn dinon begaana e gham hoti jaati hai.Thank god for Begum akhtar.
Amar gazal gayika, adwateeya.
I am one of the fornunate one- who had the good fortune to listen to Bugum live in a room mehfil twice- best gazal singer of the century.
Begum at her usual best. Incomparable depth of melancholy and mellifluence of voice.
bahut hi khoobsoorat...ruhaani ahsaas hua sunkar.
I cried when I heard this ghazal by Begum Akhtar. Although I do not know the lyrics of the poem, there is an intensity of grief in this song.
Her voice will always be enchanting us till eternity.
No one can match Begum saheba in gazhal
Very beautiful ghazal
"Vo hi hai zindagi lekin Jigar ye haal hai apna,/ Ke jaisey zindagi se zindagi kam hoti jati hai//"
Maqta of this Ghazal by Jigar Sahab is too deep, and its realization by individuals comes rarely very late, if at all it comes in one's life.
Salam begum saheba
बहुत सुन्दर प्रस्तुति
HER VOICE COULD ACHIEVE THE RARE THING IN SINGING, AND WHICH EVERY SINGER ASPIRES FOR, BUT CAN ACHIEVE RARELY i. e. DIVINITY. THAT TOO INSTANTLY. AND THAT IS THE CRUX OF HER ART. HENCE HER EVERY SONG IS IMMORTAL AND THERE IS NOBODY WHO COULD ACHIEVE THAT HEIGHT !
Arvind Gupta bf
really great to see her live
her music and she is great
and her voice will always be there untill this world remains
Kalam bhi zabardast aur aawaz bhi
I am highly fortunate to have listned to this great Begum Akhtar in various mehfils at Patna.
@iftikharqazi Qazi Sahab! Begum Akhtar ki kia baat hai.Aap ne in ki mutaliq bilkul such kaha hai.Kia mashoorkun awaz hai.
God exhibits and expresses, itself, through humans like BEGUM AKHTAR.
Wonderful rendition of the beautiful lyrics of Jigar, succinctly portraying the feelings of a person going past his prime of youth. Vinay
Fabulous collection! It is beyond the words of praise
Effortless adayagi is done by Beghum Akhtar in each of her Ghazals. Superb!
pl/translate to english so that we unread s who never learnt this fine language could also get a glimpse.
It is Wonderful rendition of the beautiful lyrics of Jigar, succinctly portraying the feelings of a person of my age,past his prime.
Tops.
This video is probably 30 years. Definitely not a film/exposure.
Thanks for posting & thanks to all those who care & take the time to record/edit/upload.
+Aslam Seedat She passed away in 1974. Hence the video must be 45-50 years old.
Lovely voice, great melody, lyrics, and composition. Superb all the way.
So, what is "very old", to me it is still so new and so refreshing.....
Thanks for the upload.
Thank a lot for posting this video of great ghazal singer of all time giving us a chance to see her performing live.God bless you.
Haye inka gaana , lafzon ka kehna kya baat hai !
Dear me, my skin is tingling!
Wohi hai zindagi, lekin Jigar yeh haal hai apna,
Wohi hai roshni, wohi hain zindagi apni, Jigar yeh haal hai apna,
Keh jaise zindagi se zindagi kum hoti jaati hai.
Tabiyat in dino begana-e-gam hoti jaati hai.
जिगर मुरादाबादी की एक मकबूल ग़ज़ल
fantastically melodious !
Thank you for sharing these gems with us, a great service to lovers of classics by stalwarts of 'mooseeqi' who are not around anymore.
Nice gift for senior citizens... thanks for nostalgia...
Begam Akhtar is decidedly the queen of Hindustani music.Matcless
I always miss this voice
Me 2

She is Matchless her voice has soooooo divinity!!
Thank you for uploading
Begham Akhtar will always rein in the hearts of ghazal lovers

Thanks a lot. What a song and voice
Very good
BEGUM AKHTAR - MAY ALLAH SWT BLESS YOUR SOUL.
Tabiyat in dinoun bay gana e gham hotee jati hai,
Meray hissay ki goya her khushi kam hoti jati hai,
Wohi hai zindagi laykin Jiger yeh haal hai apna,
Kay jaisay zindagi say zindagi kam hoti jati hai,
ultimate singing.......
Kayamat kya, yeh hai husn-e do alam hoti jaati hai
Ke mehfil to wahi hai, dil kashi kum hoti jaati hai,
WOhi maikhana-o-saheban, wohi saagar, wohi seesha,
Magar awaaz-e naushanam madham hoti jaati hai
Wohi hai zahid-o-saaki, magar dil bujhta jaata hai
Wohi hai shamma, wohi hai shamma, lekin raushni kum hoti jaati hai
Uncomparable presentation
Jo gazal Begum Akhtar ki awaz mai sun li wo phir kisi aur ki awaz mai kabhi acchhi nahi lagti.
Begum Akhtar be-misal hai
Exactly my thoughts. You hear her singing some composition and everybody else sounds trash. With no disrespect to other artists
Masterpiece indeed! Such Gaiki is not heard of anymore.
Waah kya baat hai !!!
Her timing is superb, and voice is fantastic. Difficult to see if there will be anyone like her ever. Thank you for this rare upload.
GIFT.... Thanks.
marvelous
gazab ki adyagi unmatched soulful gazal legend
thanks.
I recall my elders singing this song, in the early fifties.
this is a slightly different bandish from the one she recorded later. but it is very nice, indeed. certain places (iraade) are swweeter in this...and some in the other one. my father knew her...and we heard
her live at gatherings...sitting a couple of feet away. whenever i meet the queen of ghazals again, i will request her to combine or fuse the 2 compositions. wow! that will be something else...
When somebody opens hearts such songs are sung. Feel not just understand
Tabiyat in dino begana-e gum hoti jaati hai
Mere hisse ki goya har, har khushi kum hoti jaati hai...
Tabiyat in dino begana-e-gum...
Old is gold always
Thank you so much for showing her live
Immortal Begum Akhtar Sayiba.
mahesh
Mashallah Begum Sahiba ♡
