A year before she arrived at the zenith of playback singing with Aayega aane waala in Mahal (1949), a still-teenage Lataji vocalized her first ghazal – the mind-blowing Dil-e-naashaad ko jeene ki hasrat ho gayee tumse under the baton of Hansraj Bahl in Chunariya (1948).

It is a known fact that popular thumris (or ghazals) ascribed to the original classical and ghazal singers have also been sung by a few other doyens of Hindustani classical and ghazal singers. For instance, Bade Ghulam Ali Khan sang two thumris – ‘yaad piya ki aaye’ and ‘aaye na baalam kaa karu sajani’ to express his grief over the loss of his beloved wife in 1932, which became so popular that many classical singers in the concerts would get ‘farmaish’ to sing these two thumris. Similarly, Shakeel Badayuni’s ghazal ‘ae mohabbat tere anjaam pe ronaa aaya’ which was made immortal by Begum Akhtar’s rendition in early 50s, has been sung by many renowned ghazal singers. In the filmy parlance, these become version renditions of thumris and ghazals.
