I am a big fan of albums composed by Muzaffar Ali. First there was that amazing compilation (dance of the wounded) sung by the sublime Abida Parveen. Then there was Paigham-e-Mohabbat with an eclectic mix of singers like Sukhwinder, Abida Parveen, Chhaya Ganguli, Kavita Krishnamuthy et al. And now Husn-e-Jaana with Ghazals and nazms of Nazir Akbarabadi, Mir Taqi Mir, Amir Khusrau and Quli Qutub Shah. It does not feature Abida Parveen this time but even the relatively unknown singers have done a wonderful job.
I tried looking for the lyrics on the web but couldn’t find them. Nor the album. So, here it is for your listening pleasure.

Do not overlook my misery by blandishing your eyes,
and weaving tales; My patience has over-brimmed,
O sweetheart, why do you not take me to your bosom.
Long like curls in the night of separation,
short like life on the day of our union;
My dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night
without your face before.
Suddenly, using a thousand tricks, the enchanting eyes robbed me
of my tranquil mind;
Who would care to go and report this matter to my darling?
Tossed and bewildered, like a flickering candle,
I roam about in the fire of love;
Sleepless eyes, restless body,
neither comes she, nor any message.
In honour of the day I meet my beloved
who has lured me so long, O Khusrau;
I shall keep my heart suppressed,
if ever I get a chance to get to her trick.

Thanks, this is just fabulous ! I listened to these after such a long time. Only after reading your post that this album is specially significant for bringing Nazir Akbarabadi’s nazms.
There was another album that Muzzafar Ali was associated with (not sure if he composed the music too)- Jahan e Khusrau
This is Mohib Sahab, back with a bang. Lutf aa gayaa.
hi,
its such a fine album, great lyrics great music.. (great fan of his earlier works too).
and you did a great job by putting up the lyrics n songs.
but imho, i think in the song “na tum honge…”
its ‘na Ye … ” instead of ‘nayii’ … u can specifically hear the ‘Ye” sound..
also it makes more sense to me in that it conveys the end of everything as we know it.
zihale miskin by chhaya ganguly is the best thing i ever heard i could not not find it any place else . thanks a lot
this is amazing
speechless.what can i say.music,composing,selection of ghazals and nazms is perfect.it is jewel for people like us.
Splendid….I have never heard something of this sort….classy album , a must have…its been 8 years I guess and whenever I listen to it, it still has the same freshness and charm….rolly saran,chaya ganguli and naved siddiqui are truly great singers…
Where can I download these songs from? Please help…

Thanks for uploading the music to be heard online.
Amazing it is … the class of poetry, of music and of singers.
My favrt is ‘Zihal-e-miskin’ , its a master piece, that occupies me like a seduction.
He shows us, why he is ‘Amir Khusrau’.
Thanks a lot for these ghazals
