Bekaif Dil Hai Aur Jiye Ja Raha Hoon Main

Bekaif Dil Hai Aur Jiye Ja ... Lyrics & Chords

One of Talat Mehmood’s private ghazal with some beautiful poetry by Jigar Muradabadi (1890-1960) and composed by Iqbal Qureshi. This was suggested by a Pakistani friend who wanted to sing it too. I tried to cut a vocal track but that was not possible and I had to come up with something using Waltz. Quite a complex composition but accompaniment was as simple as it could be, even in the original, so typical for oldies where instruments simply needed to support the Singer, and not otherwise. Hence a simple track with simple chord progressions.

While practicing vocals I felt more comfortable with live Reverb usage though It is not a good idea to record vocals with effects. Dry vocals can be adjusted to taste in the mix but when already FX’d, nothing much can be done. Hope folks who enjoy Ghazals would like it. It is in the original scale of C#.

Bekaif Dil Hai Aur Jiye Ja Raha Hoon Main
Khali Hai Sheesha Aur Piye Ja Raha Hoon Main

Majboori-e-Kamal-e-Mohabbat Tu Dekhna
Jeena Nahi Qabool Jiye Ja Raha Hoon Main

Woh Dil Kahan Hai Ab Ke Jisse Piyar Kijiye
Majbooriyan Hain Saath Diye Ja Raha Hoon Main

Pehle Sharab Zeest Thi Ab Zeest Hai Sharab (Zeest=Zindagi)
Koi Pila Raha Hai Piye Ja Raha Hoon Main

Back then, the musicians used to support singers and today…. singers seem like supporting music lol…. well a lovely track that you make up Naqvi saheb and so much so was the lovely singing full of feelings…. Talat saheb was my dad’s fav most singer and I’m sure your friend must be happy with the outcome as I really enjoyed your singing on it. Keep sharing like that.

Beautifully soothing rendition! Not an easy one to sing. Yes, very typical of the old times, but then again thats why its golden :) and the old singers are legends, simply going by the calibre of their vocals with minimal accompaniment, as you pointed out.

Jaise JS ne ghalib ko zinda kar diya, aapne Talat ko kareeb kareeb kar hi diya hai…aapko suit bhi karte hain unke gaane…ye shaukeen logo ke gaane hain…U know what I mean…har kisi ne sune bhi nahi hote aur har kisi ko samajh me bhi nahi aate.aur pasand bhi nahi aate.bahut umda cheez pesh ki aapne…waise Bekaif ka kya matlab hota hai…vocals to aapke kamaal record hote hain kehna na hoga !

Dear Deep agar main Maseeha hota tu tum sach kehte ho Talat Mehmood ko tu zaroor zinda kar deita. Magar jo mar gaye unke liye yehi behtar hai ab soye rahen, per jo zinda hain unko unko tu bataya/sunaya ja sakta hai. Bekaif maiyne Bemazza, Mussarat se khali, disappointed etc. Khushi huee tumko passands aayee ye ghazal, tumhare liye tu itni mushkil na hogi!
