Date: 11-May-99
Poet: Hasrat Jaipuri

A few days ago, I posted a Gazal by Meer Taqi Meer.
One of our fellow subscribers brought this Hasrat 
Jaipuri Gazal to my notice. It seems to have been 
"inspired" by the same. I was also informed that 
this Gazal has been sung by Ghulam Ali, in the 
album Rooh-e-Gazal, music has been composed by 
Raza Ali Khan. I haven't heard this version but I 
have been told it has been sung quite beautifully.
Hope you enjoy it.
