Today (24 february 2019) is the 95th birth anniversary of Talat Mehmood (24 February 1924-9 May 1998).
Talat Mehmood sang some 450 songs in all which includes HFM as well as NF songs. This blog contains 377 of his songs. So we are only about 70 odd songs short of covering all Talat Mehmood songs in the blog.
Today, on this occasion, here is a non film song of Talat Mehmood. Like most NFS, this song too has superb lyrics which are penned by Jigar Muradabadi. The song is composed by Iqbal. The date of release in not known, and I have assumed it to be 1960.
This is a Talat Mehmood song that I heard for the first time only just now, when I realised that today was Talat Mehmood birth anniversary.
Lots of me to Ghazal singers came up on the scene in later decades, but it is Talat Mehmood was the original pioneer of this genre of songs. And it can safely be said that few other ghazal singers can cast a spell over their listeners as Talat Mehmood can. Here is this ghazal as a ready proof.
Song-Bekaif dil hai aur jiye ja raha hoon main(Talat Mehmood NFS)(1960) Singer-Talat Mehmood, Lyrics-Jigar Moradabadi, MD-Iqbal
