I am posting this to feed my blog, to prevent it from dying. Also, I love Chitra Singh. She was the perfect singing partner for Jagjit Singh. Her flute like voice complemented Jagjit's heavy one.
Their duets are amply celebrated. But I feel, at times, Chitra is neglected as a solo singer. Hence this offering.
Here is a lovely song, with beautiful lyrics and great music. Chitra does full justice to it.

Pyar hi pyar hain hum
Hum pe bharosa keeje
Hum pe bharosa keeje
Lyrics:
humko dushman kee nigahoN se na dekha keeJe
pyaar hi pyaar haiN hum humpe bharOsa keeJe
chand yaadoN ke siwa haath na kuch aayega
is tarah uMr-e-gureza ka na peecha keeJe
roshni auroN ke aaNgaN meiN gawara na sahee
kam se kam apne ghar meiN to uJaala keeJe
kya khabr kab wo chale aayenge milne ke liye
roz palkoN pe nayee shamme jalaya keeJe
Beautiful. I'd never heard this song before, but one of my favourite Chitra-Jagjit ghazals IS a solo by Chitra, Kisi ranjish ko hawa do:

Thank you DO. I love Kisi Ranjish as well :)
ReplyDeleteA favourite from their earlier days. She was perhaps too syrupy for generic songs, but the ghazals she chose showcased her pretty well. Apart from this one (and Kisi Ranjish), I thought her version of "Pareshaan raat saari hai" actually trumped the Jagjit version.
ReplyDeleteThank you AKM.
ReplyDeleteYes. I agree. Actually I keep trawling the net for Chitra songs. She sang a very lovely version of Momin's "Wo jo ham me tum me qarar tha". It is a big favorite of mine.
I hope to put my act together one day and post a whole list of her songs.
