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.
