It was our original intention to list only one page for Jagjit Singh, but the response so far has been exceedingly well, and there are other comments which will run into the second page, so we will have to allocate two pages for Jagjitsaab

And now we can take in all comments:

if the sharab is what makes Jagjit's voice so sweet...then i think his sharab is laced with honey...his voice touches my soul (far more than Chitra's)

---------------------
and where is this Monika child? is she Jagjit's and Chitra's or?

as rumours in India has it...Vivek was not Jagjit's child...maybe he was Gods's...returned

Dids, the story is there, but my promise to secrecy to my source is far more important than divulging, sorry

(8) TUM KO DEKHA TO YE KHAYAAL AAYA...........SAATH SAATH

Tum Ko Dekha To Ye Khayaal Aaya
When I saw you this thought came to me
Zindagi Dhoop Tum Ghana Chaaya)
Life is like a hot sun and you are the soothing shade

(Tum Ko Dekha To Ye Khayaal Aaya)2
When I saw you this thought came to me
Zindagi Dhoop Tum Ghana Chaaya
Life is like a hot sun and you are the soothing shade

Tum Ko Dekha To Ye Khayaal Aaya
When I saw you this thought came to me

(Aaj Phir Dil Ne Ik Tamanna Ki)2
Today again my heart wished for something
(Aaj Phir Dil Ko Humne Samjhaaya)2
Today again I had to mollify my heart
(Sometimes the heart does not get its desires)

Zindagi Dhoop Tum Ghana Chaaya
Life is like a hot sun and you are the soothing shade
Tum Ko Dekha To Ye Khayaal Aaya
When I saw you this thought came to me

(Tum Chale Jaaoge To Sochenge)2
When you leave then I shall ponder over it*
(Humne Kya Khoya Humne Kya Paaya)2
What did I lose (by your leaving) what did I gained
(by spending those moments with you)

Zindagi Dhoop Tum Ghana Chaaya
Life is like a hot sun and you are the soothing shade
Tum Ko Dekha To Ye Khayaal Aaya
When I saw you this thought came to me

(Hum Jise Gunguna Nahin Sakte)2
The song that I am even forbidden to hum
(Waqt Ne Aisa Geet Kyoon Gaaya)2
Why did fate bring and sang that song for me?

Zindagi Dhoop Tum Ghana Chaaya
Life is like a hot sun and you are the soothing shade
Tum Ko Dekha To Ye Khayaal Aaya
When I saw you this thought came to me

Trans:Ranjana

Forbidden Love sometimes bring tears to the eyes: we are all helpless to fate dictates:

(Tum Chale Jaaoge To Sochenge)2
When you leave then I shall ponder over it*

ALBUM:CLOSE TO MY HEART:

(1) KAHIN DOOR JAB DIN ...ALBUM: CLOSE TO MY HEART: MP3

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends..
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
And the dusk glides in slow and quiet like a new bride.
Mere Khayaalon Ke Aangan Mein Koi Sapnon Ke (Deep Jalaaye)2
in the courtyard of my thoughts, someone lights up my dreams

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
and the dusk glides in, slow and quiet like a new bride.

(Kabhi Yun Hi Jab Hui Bojhal Saansen
At times when my breathing is labored for no particular reason
Bhar Aai Baithe Baithe Jab Yun Hi Aankhen)2
When my eyes would fill with tears,for no reason at all,
Kabhi Machal Ke Pyar Se Chal Ke Chhuye Koi Mujhe Par (Nazar Na Aaye)2
someone stirs and walks up to me with love, touches my heart but i cannot see her.

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends..
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
and the dusk glides in slow and quiet like a new bride.

Kahin To Yeh Dil Kabhi Mil Nahin Paate
Sometimes inspite of physical closeness, people do not get along
Kahin Pe Nikal Aaye Janmon Ke Naate
Other times two people met and felt that they know each other forever, their relationship is longer than this lifetime
Ghani Thi Uljhan Bairi Apna Man, Apna Hi Hoke Sahe (Dard Paraaye)2
It is indeed a puzzle that the heart that belongs to me, feels others pain and make their troubles mine

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends..
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
and the dusk glides in, slow and quiet like a new bride.

Dil jaane, mere saare, bhed ye gahare
My hearts knows all my innermost secrets
Ho gae kaise mere, sapane sunahare
How my dreams have become a beautiful golden hue
Ye mere sapane, yahii to hain apane
My dreams, these dreams are all that I have
Mujhase judaa na ho.nge inake ye saaye, inake ye saaye
These dreams will never be taken away from me

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
and the dusk glides in, slow and quiet like a new bride.

(2) SEENE MAY SULAGTE HAIN ARMAAN: MP3

Seene mein sulagte hain armaan aankho mein udaasi chhaayi hai
Desires kindle in the heart sorrow is entrenched in my eyes
Ye aaj teri duniya se hamein Taqdeer kaha le aayi hai
Today from your world where has fate brought me

Seene mein sulagte hain armaan
Desires kindle in the heart

Kuchh aankh mein aansoo baaki hain (Jo mere gham ke saathi hain) 2
Some tears in the eyes are still left the friends of my grief
(Ab dil hain na dil ke armaan hain)2 Bas main hu meri tanhaai hai
There is the heart but no desire of the heart just me and my lonliness

Seene mein sulagte hain armaan
Desires kindle in the heart

Na tujhse gila koyi hamko na koyi shikaayat duniya se
I don’t have to blame you no complaints to the world
(Do chaar kadam jab manzil thi)2 Qismat ne thhokar khaayi hai
When the destination was four steps away fate has pushed me

Seene mein sulagte hain armaan
Desires kindle in the heart

Kuchh aisi aag lagi man mein jeene bhi na de marne bhi na de
Some type of fire was lit in my heart it won’t let me live, it won’t let me die
(Chup hu to kaleja jalta hai)2 Bolu to teri ruswaayi hai
If I am silent, my chest burns if I talk, then it will be your disgrace

Seene mein sulagte hain armaan
Desires kindle in the heart

(3) EK PYAR KA NAGHMA HAI.....ALBUM: CLOSE TO MY HEART MP3

(Ek pyaar kaa nagmaa hai, maujo kee rawaanee hain
It is a song of love, it is a flow of ecstasy
Zindagee aaur kuchh bhee nahee, teree meree kahaanee hain)2
Life is nothing else but a story of you and I

(Kuchh paakar khonaa hai, kuchh khokar paanaa hain
In life, if one loses something, each loss hides a gain
Jeewan ka matlab to, aana aaur jaana hain)2
The meaning of life is that happiness and sorrows comes and goes
Do pal ke jeewan se, yek umar churaanee hain
Sometimes one moment of happiness last for the entire lifetime

Zindagee aaur kuchh bhee nahee, teree meree kahaanee hain
Life is nothing else but a story of you and I

(Ek pyaar kaa nagmaa hai, maujo kee rawaanee hain
It is a song of love, it is a flow of ecstasy
Zindagee aaur kuchh bhee nahee, teree meree kahaanee hain)2
Life is nothing else but a story of you and I

Too dhaar hain nadiyaa kee, main teraa kinaaraa hoo
You are the current of the river, I am your shore
Too mera sahaara hai, main tera sahaara ho
You are my support, I am your support
Aakhon mein samandar hai, ashaoan ka paanee hain
In my eyes is an endless ocean, the waters
of the sea is the water of hope

Zindagee aaur kuchh bhee nahee, teree meree kahaanee hain)2
Life is nothing else but a story of you and I

(Ek pyaar kaa nagmaa hai, maujo kee rawaanee hain
It is a song of love, it is a flow of ecstasy
Zindagee aaur kuchh bhee nahee, teree meree kahaanee hain)2
Life is nothing else but a story of you and I

Zindagee aaur kuchh bhee nahee, teree meree kahaanee hain
Life is nothing else it is the story of you and me
(Ek pyaar kaa nagmaa hai, maujo kee rawaanee hain
It is a song of love, it is a flow of ecstasy

Tufaan to aanaa hai, aa kar chale jaanaa hain
The storm is going to come, and then it will go away
Baadal hain ye kuchh pal kaa, chhaa kar dhal jaanaa hain
This dark cloud of a few moments, will eventually blown away
Parchhaeyan rah jatee, rah jatee nishaane hain
Images remain, marks remain

Zindagee aaur kuchh bhee nahee, teree meree kahaanee hain
Life is nothing else but a story of you and I

Ek pyaar kaa nagmaa hai, maujo kee rawaanee hain
It is a song of love, it is a flow of ecstasy
Zindagee aaur kuchh bhee nahee, teree meree kahaanee hain
Life is nothing else but a story of you and I

(Jaane Vo Kaise Log The Jinake Pyaar Ko Pyaar Milaa)2
Wonder who are these people whose love is reciprocated?
Hamane To Jab Kaliyaan Maangii Kaanton Kaa Haar Milaa
Asking for a garland of flowers (love) I got a garland of thorns (rejection)

Jaane Vo Kaise Log The Jinake Pyaar Ko Pyaar Milaa
Wonder who are these people whose love is reciprocated?

(Khushiyon Kii Manzil Dhuundhi To Gam Kii Gard Mili)2
I looked for happiness and fond the dust of sorrows
Chaahat Ke Nagame Chaahe To Aanhen Sard Milii
Want to sing the song of love but got the sighs devoid of warmth
Dil Ke Bojh Ko Dhundhalaa Kar Gayaa Jo Gamakhaar Milaa
The weight of my sadness was doubled by supposed sympathizers
Hamane To Jab Kaliyaan Maangii Kaanton Kaa Haar Milaa
Asking for a garland of flowers (love) I got a garland of thorns (rejection)

Jaane Vo Kaise Log The Jinake Pyaar Ko Pyaar Milaa
Wonder who are these people whose love is reciprocated?

(Bichhad Gayaa)3 Har Saathi Dekar Pal Do Pal Ka Saath
Everyone that I loved, loved me for a moment and then left
Kisako Furasat Hai Jo Thaame Diivaanon Kaa Haath
After all who has their life to spend with a crazy person
Hamako do Apanaa Saayaa Aqasar Bezaar Milaa
Sometimes even my fraustrated shadows become disgusted with me
Hamane To Jab Kaliyaan Maangii Kaanton Kaa Haar Milaa
Asking for a garland of flowers (love) I got a garland of thorns (rejection)

Jaane Vo Kaise Log The Jinake Pyaar Ko Pyaar Milaa
Wonder who are these people whose love is reciprocated?

(Isko Hi Jiinaa Kahate Hain To Yuunhii Jii Lenge)2
If this is supposed to be living, then I will have to live like this
Uf Na Karenge Lab Sii Lenge Aansuu Pii Lenge
I will not even wince, remain silent not shedding any tears
Gam Se Ab Ghabaraanaa Kaisaa, Gam Sau Baar Milaa
Should I be afraid of sorrows? after I have been the receiptient 100 times
(Hamane To Jab Kaliyaan Maangii Kaanton Kaa Haar Milaa
Asking for a garland of flowers (love) I got a garland of thorns (rejection)

Jaane Vo Kaise Log The Jinake Pyaar Ko Pyaar Milaa)2
Wonder who are these people whose love is reciprocated?

I am trying to draw a picture of you, but alas I cannot
Ek khwaab saa dekhaa hai, taabeer naheen banatee
Your dreamlike glimpse was an illusion, in which the image is lost

(Bedard mohabbat kaa itanaa saa hain afasaanaa)2
This is the short story of my love affair
Nazaron se milee nazare, main ho gayaa deewaanaa
Our eyes met, and I have since become crazy for her
Ab dil ke bahalane kee, tadabeer naheen banatee
And now I cannot find a way to trick my restless heart to be content

Tasaweer banaataa hoo, tasaweer naheen banatee
I am trying to draw a picture of you, but alas I cannot

(Dam bhar ke liye meree duniyaan mein chale aao)2
Oh please for one moment, come back into my world
Tarasee huyee aakhon ko fir shakl dikhaa jaao
Show your face once more to my sad and waiting eyes
Muj se to meree bigadee takadeer naheen banatee
Fate is leading me astray, please come back into my life.

(Tasaweer banaataa hoo, (tasaweer naheen banatee)2

Ek khwaab saa dekhaa hai, taabeer naheen banatee

Wahi Ansu Wahi Aankhe,
Wahi Gum Hai Kidhar Jaaye
Same tears, same sighs, same sadness every,
Ohh where should one go to excape?

Teri Duniya Mein Jeene Se,

Jaha Se Pyaar Mil Jata)2
Is there any place (home)
Where one could receive love

Wahi Begane Chere Hai,

The same strange faces
Where ever I look and go

Teri Duniya Mein Jeene Se,
To Behtar Hai Ke Mar Jaaye
It is better to die,
than to live in your world

(Are O Asma Wale Bata,
Isme Bura Kya Hai)3
Oh God dwelling in the sky high, tell me
What is so bad about this

Kushi Ke Chaar Jhoke Agar,
Idhar Se Jo Guzar Jaye
Let the breeze of happiness
Blow through here (my life)

Teri Duniya Mein Jeene Se,
To Behtar Hai Ke Mar Jaaye
It is better to die,
than to live in your world

Wahi Ansu Wahi Aankhe,
