“Aitaraf’ is a kind of nazm which takes me in another world which in itself is a real world which cause me to say something in my own poetry.

Aitaraf is beyond of one’s word to explain in words.

Dear Mohib,

Some 5 years ago I listened to this ghazal - by its theme and the way it captures the reader’s mind and soul I tend to class it as ghazal - off an Indian CD and was in search of its poet and singer. The latter I found to be Jagjit Singh but his rendition of it is short - only qata’s 1,3,6 - and leaves some ‘tashnagi’ as if it’s not ‘the whole wardaat’. How very kind of you to publish full version and gratify my soul! Thank You very much indeed. Doutless, such bejeweled portrayal of overwhelming youthful pursuite of beauty could only come from Majaz!!!
PS- I feel replacing ‘ek’ with ‘aik’in the beginning of line 19 and ‘-o-inaayaat’ with ‘-o-inaayat’ in 3rd last line will improve verse balance.Thank you once again.

Thanks for the entire nazm!

The Kahkashan version is somewhat shortened:

Mohib,

Thanks for the nazm. A request- can you get the audio from the Kahkashan TV serial ? I seem to have lost my cassette few years back and haven’t seen the CD or cassette since then. If I am not mistaken, Kahkashan has the only serious rendition of Majaz (besides Talat’s Shehr ki raat aur main)
