Ahista Ahista - Cover of Ja... Lyrics & Chords
This Ghazal of Jagjit ji needs no introduction. I doubt if there was any other Ghazal which was as popular as this one.
It has been my wish to sing this singce last so many years. I got the Karaoke track for this few days back.
Here’s my attempt …The quality of Karaoke track is not good.

One of my most fav numbers of Ghazals sung Jagjit Singh saab. Do I have to say that again NVK sir that you are at your best when you sing Ghazals. Absoultey wonderful voice you got and you have a great control to sing those harkaths. There is a slight diction issue when you sung “Khauff” I think its “RKhauff” its like “RKhamoshi” in true urdu sense. I love to sing a Ghazal someday, my only inspirations would be you and Jagjith Ji….

said
Fantastic performance NVK sir……I should say performance ….as I could hear the audience in the ktrack :-). This should go as one of your best ghazal rendition ……you made it sound so easy ….loved your voice too ….mumbai basha mein “Ek dum Zakaas” :-)
Goes to my favourites ….and full marks from me.

Rashmi….I am very glad that you like my cover versions of Jagjit ji’s Ghazals. Thanks a lot for the appreciation.
Smitha….Appreciate your feedback …Thanks.
Dhiraj… Thanks a lot for the encouraging words.
Harshan… It was nice to read those nice words written by you. Thanks. Regarding the voice of audience …it was not there in the karaoke…I added them subsequesntly to give it a live touch. Glad that it worked…:)
Ramya….So glad to see your nice words of appreciation. Regarding the most difficult lines in the Ghazal
“Sawaal-e-vasl par unko
uthoo ka khauff hai Itna
Dabe hoton se dete hain
Jawaab ahista ahista”
It means….
On my invitation for a meeting, she said “ahista Ahista” as she was fearing about the Uthoo which means ‘the villain’. Sawal-e vasl means request for meeting.
I am writing all these based on the meanings explained by Jagjit ji in one of his live performances of this Ghazal.
Thanks again to all…

I had been enjoying listening to your singing many Ghazals of Jagjit Singh, every time confirming your voice is most suited for ghazals.
This rendition is the BEST of all. Very superb performance.

Shailender….Thank you very much for the appreciation…:)
Soumitra……Glad to get such nice feedback …Thanks a ton…Regarding the 128 kbps upload, I did it but it started to squeak when playing. Had to delete that and then uploaded Lo Fi version at 64 kbps. Prateek is working on debugging the problem…
Vidya……It was absolutely great to get such an appreciation from you. Thanks a lot…
And I thank Srinivasan,Prem,Smitha, Harshan, AJ, Shailender and Soumitra for favouriting this Ghazal of mine…

My Dear NVK,
As usual, your rendition of this Ghazal was perfect, melodious & superb. As our Dhiraj has rightly pointed out,you’re at your best when you sing Ghazals and I may also humbly suppliment that YOU ARE AT YOUR VERY BEST WHILE SINGING JAGJITJI’s GHAZALS.
Needless to say that it’s 100% to you from my humble self.
Please go on singing & entertaining us !
GOD Bless !
Loving Best Wishes,
TGK.

Ronak R. said
Sir, you’re one of the most mature voice on Muziboo. :) No doubt about that.
I liked the way you’ve given importance to perfectness of the vocals. Most of the time it felt like Jagjit Ji’s singing. :P Not a flattery.
5/5 without doubt. :)

Harsha Sista said
very wonderful…. i am so used to hearing this song in jagjit singh’s voice that it would be hard for people to break that…
but you still made a mark just because of some real nice harkatein…
also…
i like your control of swaras…
I appreciate the attention to detail in this song…
gives me an inspiration it is not that hard… more practice should get me as good as you… insha allah! thanks for sharing… it was a treat!
I also thought I should mention this… i had like a slight modulation in your voice as well for this song… more on to the softer side… just a preference… i thought your voice was slightly bold for the feel… but the nevertheless was a good rendition!

Murali, TGK, Priyanka, Subbu, Ramya, Sudhatee, Ronak and Harsha….

the tempo….so painstakingly right that even the hardest hearts would melt to the sea…. and I just had to find out your cover when I could relate to the line….“sawaal-e-vasl par unko uduu ka khhauf hai itna….dabey hoanton pey de te hain jawaab, ahist ahista….”
Make a cover album if you will, and I’ll buy one when I’ll go to India again….

This is just awesome! Perfect Rendition – perfect pausing between bits, and wonderful expressions. I think there are few bits on the where I felt that the bits were appended and not mixed in correctly.
But overall It is very ‘out of the world’!!

PS – I am new to Muziboo and am browsing through profiles and listening to songs. Must say your collection is really impressive!
