I present one of the most popular ghazals, ‘kal chaudhveen kee raat thhee’ (1979) composed and rendered by Jagjit Singh. The ghazal is written by Jalandhar-born Pakistani poet, humourist, journalist and travel writer, Ibn-e-Insha (1927-1978).

I had a faint memory of this ghazal sometime in 1980s but at that time, there were other popular ghazals of Jagjit Singh which have remained in my memory like ‘ishq mein ghairat e jazbaat ne rone na diyaa’, ‘duniyaa jise kehte hain’, ‘baat niklegi to phir door talak jaayegi’, etc. It is only during the last 2-3 years that I have listened to this ghazal online umpteen times and have started admiring this ghazal for its soulful rendition.

Hullo Atuldom

At the outset I would like to wish our in-house Encyclopaedia Shri. Arunkumar Deshmukhji a very Happy Birthday. May he always enlighten us with his knowledge on well-known, known & not-so-well-known artists who have walked the firmament of the Indian film industry. May he always find artists about whom he has not-yet shared any information. May he always be available to us when we pop questions or doubts about anything and everything. All this in the time he finds between his writing for the blog and books. I would also like to wish him lots of time with his family and followers and admirers.
