Ranjish Hi Sahi (Mehdi Hassan) - Cover by N V Krishnan
Ranjish Hi Sahi (Mehdi Hass... Lyrics & Chords
It was probably in the late seventies, I started to get attracted to Ghazals… One of the Ghazals that caught my attention in those days was Khan Saheb’s “Ranjish hi Sahi…” Day in day out I used to hum this number… I had a cassette with the live performance of Khan Saheb in it… Later I happened to have an instrumental version too of this ghazal played brilliantly by Sunil Ganguly…
In 2007-08 when I started to record I was looking for the track of the ghazal. One of my friends from esnips helped me with a track which was not of the version I was familiar with… Yet I tried my best to sing along with that track made in lines with the filmi version of the same ghazal… I was not too pleased with output and did not upload it anywhere… Subsequently our friend Paras ji was kind enough to share this track with me which she got from www.taranaa.com …… Thanks to Praras ji and Taraana ….:)
And here it is – my cover of this extremely brilliant ghazal of Ustad Mehdi Hassan Saheb… I dedicate this to Khan Saheb who is ailing, with my prayers to the Almighty for his speedy recovery. … I humbly request music lovers from all over the globe to sincerely pray for him. Artists like Khan Saheb are very precious to us…We want him to be amidst us as long as possible….!!!!!
Thank you Muzaffar Naqvi Shaeb for doing a preview ……… and for the valuable inputs…:)

NVK sir…I just love this ghazal and its my wish to cover this GEM whenever I am ready….it might take a long time :)
Just 1 minute into this rendition and I CLICKED the fav button….but heard the full song before commenting:) Have heard umpteen versions of this ghazal from Ashaji and Hari saab…but the one from Khan saheb just stands out tall no doubt.
Kya Khoobi se nibaya hai aap ne….dil Khush kar dala……every note and expressions were just top notch……just loved it and goes to my favourite….really happy to open the innings of this post:) You know sir…you and now Naqvi saab are my inspirations to better at singing on this forum…….god bless.

Dear Harshan……Thank you so much for listening and those nice words on my attempt…. I fully agree with you on the various versions like that of Asha ji, Runal Laila etc., but nothing can beat Khan Saheb’s live performance ….

Krishnan sir -

Have Heard So Many versions ,but Mehidi sahab ka baat hi alag hai!! He always do spontaneous improvisations a lot …aap Mehdi Hassan Sahab ke hi alag alag live concerts me oh baath dekh sakthe hain ! Kis version ko follow kare ?!:) It’s a Million Dollar Question !!!!His each live performance of this particular ghazal is unique !!Wonderful & soulful lyrics !!
I am closing my eyes and listening to your soulful rendition! Its wonderful !!Meri ye Dua hai Keh Kaamyabi ki har seedhi pay aap ka naam ho!All the Best!
4:25- liye Aaa aaaa ( wonderful andaaz se gaayaa- Bahut Khoob )after that...Ranjishi sahi…you are short of breath! Loved that too!Chandrasekharan Nair

Great singing NVK. I think when singing Ghazal it is more suitable to your style and voice will be of Mehdi Hazansabb, I feel, may be due to my deep love to his songs. Enjoyed a lot. Thank you for sharing.
Much regards

You sound terrific Enveek Ji. If I would have not known you I would have thought of some one from UP or Pakistan singing this ghazal. I am glad to see this track surfacing up….otherwise there was just one ghissa pitta track for the film version which in fact had the same one antara being repeated and hence there was no room for variation in harkats. Nice to see Mehdi Hassan lovers on this forum….expanding the horizon in Hindi music. You sang it beautifully. Lovely presentation.

I’m too amazed to see this new track on this famous ghazal of Mehdi Hassan saheb…. not as good as one can be but still better than any other tracks available…. I loved the improvisation you took in the antara especially on “Kuch to Mere Pindaar-e-Mohabbat Ka Bharam” one…. such a movement might be easy in live but not in karaoke singing you know it…. well lovely singing Krish bhai…. enjoyed it from someone after a long time :-) keep sharing like that.
Best of Luck!!!

NVK ji,
This Ghazal by Khan Saheb is a major milestone known by all his admirers…. and I am no exception to that!! You have taken tender loving care in delivering this cover…… and you have done justice to Khan Saheb, the ghazal, and the track where by the result is simply outstanding. A few touches of your own at Kucch to Mere pindaare…. and towards the end marks this cover with NVK stamp!! L+F

Superb & Brilliant,I should say……I Did have the Track of this One….& Had/Have a wish to Cover this One ,When,I Feel Ready……Which,I feel,I am not yet……But You have Fully justified this Difficult song……
One of my All time,Most favourite Ghazal of Hassan-saahab Based on “kalyan” Raag……Actually,I have Heard the Different version of this Hassan’s Saahab Song ….In Which,One line He has Sung With 7-8 Different Modulation’s….& that Only Hassan saahab Could Do….Probably that was a live version Maybe………
Again to Mention,A Great listen in your Brilliant Matured & Controlled Vocal’s….It Really Requires ,the Courage & Expertise to
Render it,Which you have in Abundance….All the Best……

Heard it the otherd day when Harshan posted on FB, did not get a chance to comment. What a gem of a ghazal presented so beautifully by you,NVK Sir. I agree with Harish’s comments about, singing such ghazals over a K-track , that too so effortlessly, is truly commendable,Just beautiful!

Beautiful, you sang it with such delicacy and exquisitely spaced nazuk harkats, NVKji. I agree Ghazals are so tough to render due to taal, and doing this on a k-track deserves a special applause! Excellent breath control getting back to Ranjish line as well, esp. after the varied Liye aa every time.
To favs,

NVK Sir,
Can’t even imagine to reproduce songs of such genre by me as I have the least knowledge of Ghazals. Except, these kind of songs come out in low sound from some Star Hotel Restaurants to create a pleasant and soothing mood…. Felt something like that….LOL. Beautifully done and very professional presentation too !!

Learning lot many Ghazals from this forum Krishnan ji. It’s a pleasure for me to know and explore more and more in music always. It was no doubt a brilliant rendition. I really don’t know about any original version of this but truly enjoyed your’s :)

NVK Sir, I keep listening to this Ghazal in Your voice since a while actually. I started commenting a few times and then realised I am not knowing how and what to write so that it reflects as exact as possible the wonderful “listener” experience I have gotten hearing it. Firstly, I am very very happy this Ghazals are getting shared here, on top with such accuracy. Can’t say much about singing, it’s just beautyful and beautyful again. Yes, I do find a slight similarity of voices between You and Naqvi Sahab. Just wondering if I am the first one noticing it?
Now if I end in saying “nice” “enjoyed” “liked” and so on, would just be too less I know that. Thanks for sharing it. And, no, I am not at all sorry this time for landing late here with commenting, because I did by all means take my own sweet time to enjoy listening to it first. :-)

NVK Ji, first time in your forum! What an awesome selection and brilliantly sung. Khan Sahab is par excellence and this is his signature ghazal in Kalyan. All your harkats and modulations were “napi tuli” and on the mark. Enjoyed it!
