Gems of Madan Mohan/Lata - Rasm-E-Ulfat ko nibhaye

Gems of Madan Mohan/Lata - ... Lyrics & Chords

Back after a short respite – Thanks to indomitable throat allergies and just being swamped…
I have to first thank all the kind souls in this space who have been checking with me about my health – Thanks to you all and God’s grace, I feel a lot better now.
Here is a beautiful heart-melting ghazal by Late Madan Mohan sung soulfully and as always inimitably by Lataji.
Here is my humble attempt within my limited abilities. There are many better renditions out there on Youtube, and of course do check out Adwait’s version on Muziboo.
The tune is based on Raag Multani (cousin to Raag Madhuvanti) and uses some signature elements common to both raags.
Thanks a lot to Babu for the track, and also for his encouragement… Please drop in if you get a chance, and pen down your valuable feedback.
Year : 1973
Music Director : Madan Mohan
Lyricist : Naqsh Lyalpuri
Movie : Dil Ki Rahein
Singer : Lata Mangeshkar

Dear friends, Thanks a lot for visiting this, and your encouraging heartfelt feedback.
Paras – yes, the lyrics with the raag application just adds to the pathos…
Yes, Srini – completely agree. I lost my groove a bit after a few things… once voice gets affected, it takes a while to build its flexibility and range…
Thanks again all,
Sudha

Awesome rendition Sudha. Not an easy song, but you have done a great job. The best aspect that I liked about this was that it did not sound like a Lataji song, you gave it your own styling. Kudos!!

Harish said

stupendous! picking a difficult song and excelling at it is an art you have mastered.

one thing i have felt, you select songs for satisfying the thirst of the artist within you, and not so much for the audience, which IMHO is commendable, as invariably the audience ends up loving your songs!

Complete Singing. Flawless. Harakate, and modulation with timely punctuation with breathing is very rare to find.

Kaise SSSSS was very very good, but slightly extended a bit. That is why I dislike tracks, which do not give us space enough to paint song more colourful. Nevertheless, talent has no barrier!

I wish I could sing like that.
