The decades have passed since the departure of Saigal Saab from this world, and the time has shown that there is no peer to the Voice of Saigal. Many voices, especially in the 30s and 40s, made an appearance on the silver screen, making utmost efforts to emulate the un-imitable divinity in the voice of Saigal Saab. But none could make it to the depths that Saigal Saab would so effortlessly dive into, and reveal an emotion with so much grace.

The actor in the persona of Saigal Saab, has mostly been overshadowed by the magical qualities of his voice and the music this voice has rendered. And yet, the directors who have worked with him, and directed his roles, acknowledge that Saigal Saab had this innate capability to create and to express any singular emotion, with an intensity and control of facial features and mannerism.

Jaag aur dekh zaraa aalam e veeraan meraa

Posted by: on: August 28, 2011


This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.

The famous poet and film maker, Kidar Sharma tells the story behind the song, Dukh ke ab din beetat naahin from the film Devdaas (1935). The film shooting, editing etc. was completed and the film was being made ready for release. A screening was arranged for the distributor companies. After the screening, one of the distributors commented about the flow of the narrative through the film, and said the flow was somewhat bumpy and not well connected in one or two places. In the brief discussion that ensued, it was decided to insert another song in the film. Given the release schedule, there was almost no time to create and film another song and then integrate it into the movie. The two of them (Saigal Saab and Kidar Sharma) got together the same evening. Kidar Saab would write the words, and Saigal Saab did the composition then and there. By the morning, the song ‘Dukh Ke Ab Din Beetat Naahin’ was ready to be produced. It was recorded the same day, and also filmed the same day.

Jalwaa gaah e dil mein martey hi andheraa ho gayaa

Saigal Saab, for whom the legendary classical singer of that time, Ustad Faiyaaz Khan Saaheb, has said, “We are born in music, and have generations of musical heritage to follow, and yet, we cannot even think of becoming like Kundan Lal Saigal, who so effortlessly continues to sing, on and on.” An appreciation and endorsement coming from a singer of Ustad Saab’s stature, is of a great consequence. It is said that Faiyaaz Saab himself proposed that KL Saigal should become his pupil, a proposal which Saigal Saab accepted wholeheartedly. A promise that was kept with a formal ceremony of initiation complete with getting the traditional taaveez from Faiyaaz Saab.

Ab kyaa bataun main tere milne se kyaa milaa

Posted by: on: July 6, 2011

The poetry rendered to life by Saigal saab, is limited and yet infinite. By all accounts, the total recordings available of the songs and ghazals sung by him is less than 200. And yet, the presence of these countable offerings is infinite in themselves. Every time I pick up a recording to listen, it sounds new, fresh, and with new meanings and inflections. Such is the depth and range of this divine voice, that it is impossible to fathom it fully, no matter how many times one listens.
