And the lyrics are amazing! Two other songs that really move me are <i>Mohabbat ki jhooti kahani pe roye</i> and <i>Humein kaash tumse mohabbat na hoti</i>.

So it was a nice hour or so of music as I systematically worked my way through your list. My favourite is 'Teri mehfil me kismat aazmakar' because I like the contrast between the way the two women view love. <br /><br />Did you know that Madhubala was so ill by the time they were shooting this song?Sridharnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-37494081171472526162011-08-02T09:02:42.048-04:002011-08-02T09:02:42.048-04:00And yet you saw them - I admire you. :)And yet you saw them - I admire you. :)Anuradha Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-49772537128188495552011-08-02T01:46:54.172-04:002011-08-02T01:46:54.172-04:00Hah!!

I have about 9 posts to do in this 'linked posts' project that I'm doing right now, and that's going to be followed up by four wonderful guest posts that are lined up... but the qawwali post will definitely happen!<br /><br />Okay, now I'm off to read your Waheeda post. :-)dustedoffhttp://dustedoff.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-3825953661041088922011-07-31T11:30:14.048-04:002011-07-31T11:30:14.048-04:00I am so looking forward to your list, Madhu.

It's my father who recalled them to my memory - and I am so glad. <br /><br />So, when is your list coming out?? :)Anuradha Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-91395274652247168182011-07-31T00:11:38.942-04:002011-07-31T00:11:38.942-04:00I'd received a couple of requests from stuartn...I'd received a couple of requests from stuartnz to do a 'favourite qawwalis' list, and I'd drawn up a tentative list sometime back, so I'm not going to let the cat out of the bag by sharing some of the 50s and 60s qawwalis that I particularly like - but I will go so far as to say that I think that Na toh karvaan ki talaash hai is, in my opinion, the baap of them all! What a fabulous song - absolutely the best qawwali out there! I remember, when I was a kid, we had the audio cassette of Barsaat ki Raat at home, and my sister and I would often fast-forward the tape so we could listen to this qawwali as soon as possible. :-)<br /><br />By the way, here's one later qawwali that's pretty good AND doesn't have Rishi Kapoor (I agree - he was the qawwali expert of the 70s!):<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4leeIIPE54dustedoffhttp://dustedoff.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
