The Ghazal Maestro of the Millenium : JAGJIT SINGH grew up in the cradle of Indian folklore, Rajisthan. The noted musician and teacher, Ustad Jamal Khan, groomed him in the fineries of music and Jagjit followed the pursuits of music and academic learning with admirable equability. In course of time he graduated from Punjab University and flowered into a fine vocalist with a rich, resonant voice. The inimitable style of his singing reveals the training he took in classical music for years.

A highly talented and prolific singer of India, Jagjit Singh has given performances all over India. He has won immense laurels from his concert tours in Japan, the Far East, the Middle East countries, Africa and Britain.

CHITRA SINGH, his beautiful wife has literally grown up in the cradle of music. Her mother, Smt. Krishna Shome, discovered Chitra-s potential talents early, and put her heart and soul to provide the young one with proper guidance in music. Endowed with the natural gift of a sweet voice, Chitra, a graduate from Calcutta University-took to her musical training in right earnest and, slowly but surely, acquired for herself an enviable position in the field of ghazal singing. Her later training in professional-ism was given by Jagjit Singh.
The entire music of this duo was mostly composed and arranged by Jagjit Singh. Jagjjt Singh, with his thorough knowledge of modern orchestration, gave a new dimension to the ghazals. His catchy rhythms and soulful music are a treat, some-times serene, sometimes frivolous and always thoroughly enjoyable. Jagjit prefers to draw on the traditional heritage of Ragas to form the basis of his tunes-and proceeds further to embellish them with modern orchestration. As a result, a distinctive and delightful blending of the traditional and the modern mark his musical compositions.
Jagjit Singh has sung quite a few ghazals written by a very accomplished Punjabi lyricist, whose flair of poetry is in a class of its own.He is the talented Madanpal, an Amritsar born, whose talent as a lyric writer are now a homely name in the Mumbai Music Circles and the Bollywood

    Main apki prashansha mein kuch nahi keh paungi, apse prabhavit hun isliye apne mitra ki likhi huin kuch panktiyan likh rahi hun. Meri apse yeh guzarish hai ki aap ek baar inhein padhein…

    Kya khoya kya paya dekha
    jheel mein raat ka saaya dekha
    mere gaon ka toofan saara
    tere shehar se aaya dekha
    band padi thi khidki saari
    wo deewaron se aaya dekha
    jaankh raah tha parde se wo
    apne khauf ka saaya dekha
    neend ko jagna sikha diya hai
    phir sapna kyun aya dekha
    pankh bhi kutre to ud-udkar
    phir girkar pachtaya.. dekha

    jitna yaad tha likh diya hai, agar apko yeh pasand aayin ho to kripya mujhe likhe; main aapko aage ki panktiyan bhi likhungi.
    Main chahti hun ki aap is rachna ko apni madhur awaz se nawazien, mera vishwas hai ki ye rachna behad pasand ki jaayegi.

    Please reply…

    salam jagjit sahib main aik pakistani hoon or mujhy aap ki gazzals bohat achi lagti hain aap ki awaz main aik aisa jadu hai k dil main ja kr lagti hai. main is waqt bhi aap ki aik gazzal (haath chooty bhi to rishty nahi choota krty) sun raha hoon. bohat achi hai.
    i like your gazzals and your personality. aap ki awaz ki goonj bohat zabardast hai. aap ki aik gazzal (tum ko dekha to ye khiyal aaya, zindgi dhoop tum ghanna saya) hai. iss ka aik sheer bohat hi zabardast hai (ham jissy gunguna nahi sakty, waqt ny aisa geet kion gaya)
    meri aap sy guzarish hai k agar main aap ko apni likhi hoi aik gazzal doon to kia aap wo gain gy.
    allah taala aap ko mazeed izzat sy nawazy. allah haffiz

    Haq nal karde si,galti vi dosta,sochya nahi si ainj russ jayenga,
    Zindgi de nal sanu hasna sikha ke,pata nahi si satho vi chad jayenga,
    Sikhya hai bas dukh tainu muho dasna,hor kise utte sada sachi jor koi na,
    Jive de vi haige assi tere hi ha,satho mukhra na mori sada hor koi na.
