Remembering Nida saab

Saddened by the news of demise of Nida saab, given he was one of the lyricists whose ghazals voiced thru jagjit singh gave a new direction in my life.

Some of the soulful lines -

Apne marzi se kahan apne safar ke hum hain, Rukh hawaon ka jidhar ho udhar ke hum hain.

Duniya jise kehte hain, jadoo ka khilona hai; Mil jaye to mitti hai, kho jaye to sona hai…”

And many more...

However, the circle of fate is such, Nida saab left the world on 8 Feb, which is the birthday of jagjit singh as well. Strange! Even jagjit singh died on 10 Oct while Nida fazli's bday was on 12 Oct!!

Insight album is my favourite album of this respectable singer lyricist combo. Remembering the same today -

Munh ki baat sune har koi, dil ke dard ko jaane kaun,
Awaazo ke bazaaron mein, khamoshi pehchane kaun.
