8 September Asha tayee ki 75 vin salagirah thi. kuchh dinon pahale unhen 'sa re ga ma' ke manch par gaate suna tha. abhi bhi vo khanaka, vo madhury jas ka tas bana lagata hai. aaj is khushi ke avasar par geet aur gajalon ka ye guladasta aapake liye pesh-ye-khidamat hai. jivan ke har rang ko apani gayiki main samahit karane vali is mahan gayika ki aavaj main aaj suniye piya ko sanbodhit karaata ek pyara sa gita, ek udasi bhari najm aur faij ki likhi ek dilakash gajal .
sabase pahale bat is najm ki jo mainne sabase pahale 1985 ke aas pas suni thi. abhi jo thodi bahut urdu samajh main aati hai, us vakt vo bhi samajh nahin aati thi. par jane kya tha is najm main, ki mukhada sunate hi isaki udasi dil main tair jati thi. mere khyal se ye sara karishma tha aasha taee ki bhavapoorn aavaj ka, jisaki vajah se bhasha ki samajh na hote huye bhi isaki bhavanaon ka sanpreshan hrday tak sahajata se ho jata tha.
to aaiye pahale sunen Meraj-e-Ghazal se li gaee salim gilani sahab ki likhi ye najm
raat jo toone deep bujhaye
mere the... mere the....
ashk jo sare dil main chhupaye
mere the... mere the....
kaife baharan, mahare nigaran, lutf e junoon
mausam e gul ke mahake saye
mere the... mere the....
mere the vo, khab jo toone chhin liye
git jo hothon par murajhaye
mere the... mere the....
aanchal aanchala, gesu gesoo, chaman chaman
sari khushabu mere saye
mere the... mere the....
sahil sahil laharen jinako dhoondhati hain
maji ke vo mahake saye
mere the... mere the....
ghulam ali ke sath aasha ji ka ye album mujhe do any prastutiyon ke liye bhi priy tha. ek to shabih abbas ka likha, bada pyara sa muskuraata gudagudata ye nagma . dekhiye aasha ji apani ithalati aavaj main kis tarah apane sajan ke liye prem ke kaside pad rahi hain
salona sa sajan hai aur main hoon
jiya main ik agan hai aur main hoon
tumhare roop ki chhaya main sajan
badi thandi jalan hai or main hoon
churaye chain raaton ko jagaye
piya ka ye chalan hai aur main hoon
piya ke samane ghoonghat utha de
badi chanchal pavan hai aur main hoon
rachega jab mere hathon main mainhadi
usi din ki lagan hai aur main hoon
aur aaj ki is mahafil ka samapan karaate hain isi album ki is behad mashahoor ghazal se, jise likha tha faiz ahmad faiz ne
yoon saja chand ki chhalaka tere andaz ka rang
yoon faza mahaki ki badala mere hamaraj ka rang
