Hullo Atuldom
Ghulam Ali is a singer who is an idol of music lovers across India & Pakistan and the diaspora of the two countries. He was born on 5th December 1940 in Sialkot of undivided India.
His name ‘Ghulam Ali’ was given by his father, a great fan of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan who, in the past, used to live in Lahore. Ghulam Ali had always been listening to Khan since childhood.
Ghulam Ali had an opportunity to meet Bade Ghulam Ali Khan as a teenager and sing the Thumri “Saiyyan Bolo Tanik Mose Rahiyo Na Jaye” in his presence. After which Bade Ghulam Ali Khan accepted Ghulam Ali as his disciple. (As per what I have read at various places on the internet).
Ghulam Ali started singing for Radio Pakistan, Lahore in 1960. Along with singing ghazals, he composed music for his ghazals. His compositions are raga-based and sometimes include a scientific mixture of ragas. His style and variations in singing Ghazals by blending Hindustani classical music with ghazals was unique and this made him different from other ghazal singers. He has also sung in a few Hindi films after he was was introduced to Bombay cinema with a Urdu song “Chupke Chupke Raat Din” written by the poet Hasrat Mohani in B R Chopra’s film, Nikaah (1982). Asha Bhosle has done a few albums with him.
“Maati Maangey Khoon” (1984) was a film that had music by Rahul Dev Burman; he also used Ghulam Ali for a song in the film. The song was written by Mohsin Naqvi.
I have been listening to this song for years without being aware that it was from a film. Recently, I saw “Maati Maangey Khoon” on some satellite channel and filed away the song for a post dedicated to the legendary singer.
The film had Shatrughan Sinha- Reena Roy- Raj Babbar- Rekha in the lead with Amjad Khan & Om Puri playing antagonists. Tanuja played the character of pagli-maai whose connection with the main characters get revealed towards the end of the film. The film had a regular masala story with lost-n-found family coming together at the end, after avenging the atrocities they had to undergo.
Here is wishing the legendary singer health and happiness .
I think this is the original ghazal.
In the movie, this song gets played a few times. This video from the movie has all these parts in one place.
Song-Ye dil ye paagal dil mera (Maati Maange Khoon)(1984) Singer-Ghulam Ali, Lyrics-Mohsin Naqvi,
