Koi Patta Hile - Gulfam (Hariharan Ghazal Cover)

Koi Patta Hile - Gulfam (Ha... Lyrics & Chords

Posting another favorite ghazal of mine from Hariharan’s album Gulfam. The lyrics were challenging with many words that I did not know the in-depth meaning. I want to acknowledge Azam Khan’s help in correcting my initial attempt for diction errors and also explaing the meaning of some of the lines which was a great help. THANK YOU AZAM.

The lyrics for the song was penned by Zafar Kaleem Nagpuri and music composed by Hariharan.

As always, please provide your honest feedback, so I can improve further in this genre.

Thanks.

Kumar.

Actually i am looking for this cover in Audio Blogging !!Wonderful cover Kumar ! When a genius/ flair like Azam with you,how can such a wondeful Project could fail?!:) This is fantastic output ! Loved it .

whenever if possible try another song from this album ‘Mujhe Phir Wahi yaad’ ( a tricky one than this i guess).

very nice Kumar … liked it.

Superb voice …

Possible to be a bit more emphatic with that voice … would be even better!. Just a bit more grip with the singing style….just my 2 pence worth.

Come out well overall….awesome work.

Kumar…nice to see you back. Not really familiar with this ghazal, but loved your rendition. Great diction…looks like Azam made you work hard except for 2.47 is it uth or utt …not familiar with the lyrics….loved all your harkats and effortless singing. If I may suggest….a little voice dynamics, with proper distribution of weight …will enhance this rendition to a different level….superb singing !!! LOVED IT AND GOES to my favs !!

NVKji, thank you very much. Coming from a ghazal connoisseur it means a lot to me. Will definitely attempt more ghazals if you all are willing to listen :-D.

Thank you Saroj-ji

Thanks Latha, yes, was great to have Azam’s guidance on this. Will certainly attempt Mujhe phir wohi yaad, also one of my favorites and know fully well about the tricky notes on that one. Will have to work on getting a track.

Thanks Arvind. Will try to improve on the emphasis as I get more comfortable with this genre and diction. Music is always WIP :-) isnt it?

Thank you Shree, glad you enjoyed this.

Theagaraj sir, thank you very much.

Madhukarji, appreciate your feedback. Happy to note you know this one made it to your fav list. Appreciate the feedback.

Thank you so much Swati.

Thanks Kumaran, glad this one is your favorite too. All the songs in this album are a treat and one can keep listening in a loop.

Shailender, nice to see you back after a while. Glad you liked this.

Harish, thank you.

Srimathy, glad you liked this. There are still several spots that I felt needs more refinement. Just need to practice more :-).

Jithu, welcome to my space. Happy to see your feedback. Will certainly work on posting more ghazals.

Sarmi, thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed listening to this. Yes, Azam was a great help to get this done.

Harshan, thank you very much for the detailed feedback. Voice dynamics is an area of improvement for me in all songs, perhaps more so for this genre. All one can do is to try and try again :-).

Thanks so much Harry. Appreciate the feedback. Glad you liked it.

Kumar, one of your best till date – suited your voice texture to the T and you brought in the Hariharan touch quite well in many places.

I couldnt pick on anything much – but since you asked for crit , i pulled out my lens and -
The first lines of the first 2 charanams can be further refined. The last chale rapid was just WOW. Thought the previous ones werent as clear or maybe it was my ears.

Great job by Azam too. Though I have Urdu-deaf ears – thought you got it right.

Nice ghazal, and very neat rendition, Kumar. Have missed listening to this original by Hariji. Diction was really neat, and your voice, recording and track was superb! Taal tonal quality is so important when singing these ghazals. May bug you for some ghazal k-tracks.
Really had us entranced here!

Wow….Good one. I really liked the way you have sung. Maybe….you could be more specific on the sangathis….specially the ones that come down (avarohanams). But, on the whole, wonderful rendition. Keep it up. BTW….how did you make the karaoke???

Bold attempt once again Kumar. Need a certain level of confidence to attempt such numbers. Did well in most of the places. Only drawback I could see is your voice quivering at certain points which slightly distracted me from the mood of the song. Also in the mix your voice is a bit bright, unlike the original. Dont know how to fix it though.

Kudos man!

In muziboo after ages, glad I decided to listen to this tonight— sangathis seems quite tricky! Beautifully done, agree with Mahadevan on the precision of some sangathis and the slides. Ofcourse, this is for future reference, and nothing to take away from your gutsy bold attempt!

Loved it…
Cheers,
Meera

Listening second Hariharan ghazal from you today. Your voice is made for ghazal singing. Soft and crisp both at the same time. Confident singing. Very much appreciable considering Urdu is not your language and yet you sounded so good. Enjoyed it Kumar though I was hearing it for the first time.

Vijay, thank you very much for the feedback.

Naqviji, thanks for checking this out. Appreciate the encouraging feedback. I realize Urdu diction is a huge part of singing ghazals. Will keep working on it. Glad you liked my rendition.
