  I think that there has been no great  ghazal  singer who hasn’t sung Ghalib’s work, be it, Mehdi Hasan or Jagjit Singh, most of them have sung his ghazals.  He is said to have written his first poem at the age of 11, and by 19, was writing verses that became increasingly incomprehensible to even his contemporaries.   Ghalib's life was the subject of hundreds of plays regularly performed in Northern India and Pakistan. These plays were based on his life and his personal and professional relationships s tarting from the  Parsi Theatre  and  Hindustani Theatre  days.   He remains  the topmost poet whose poems are used as songs in Hindi films but he was not shown much on screen. The first time a full feature film was made in 1954 by V Shantaram  named  Mirza Ghalib  (1954) in which  Bharat Bhushan  plays Ghalib and  Suraiya  plays his courtesan lover, Chaudvin.  Gulzar  produced a...

  Mehdi Hassan's voice gave life to the lyrics of the song and transformed it into a timeless entity to be hummed by generations to come. This happened when he sang ' Gulon Mein Rang Bhare'  the words of Faiz Ahmed Faiz for the film    Farangi  (1964).  It moved the poet so much that he bestowed  the song to Mehdi Hassan.

This ghazal was  not  written for the film It  had already been recorded by Radio Pakistan’s Central Production Unit.  The radio version had just a sarangi, a tabla and a tanpura yet it had become a massive hit. This became a rage only when it was re-recorded for the film. There was no situation in the film for this song b...

It is believed that Jagjit Singh  was the singer, who  popularized ghazal, an Indian classical art  among masses. He  is considered to be the most successful ghazal singer and composer of all time in terms of critical acclaim and commercial success.  Jagjit Singh came to Mumbai in 1965 to become a playback singer in Hindi films. Those days Mohammad Rafi was in his peak, there was Manna Dey, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh already established singers, there was no chance for him at that point of time. He had to struggle for a song in films.  He obtained work initially as a singer of advertising jingles. He got the first break in the 1973 film Avishkar when music director Kanu Roy asked him and Chitra Singh to sing 'Babul Mora Naihar Chhoto Jaye'  His  first album " The Unforgettable" in 1976  made him and Chitra Singh star.  The album is notable for one exceptional ghazal,  Raat Bhi Neend Bhi , based on a Firaq Gorakhpuri poem.
