Listen To Ghazal, Jab Ho Koi Fazal
Ghazal originated from Arabic Poetry.
“A word sweeter than honey, more delicate than flowers, like a design of a new sweater, fragile like a small nap, loving like chanda mama, pious like love. But, can be heart-wrenching like poverty and aggressive like a spark of freedom.”
With a history of more than 1000 years, it served different purposes at a distinctive point in time. It became the voice of freedom fighters, preachings of saints, a lullaby of mothers and a way of expressing love–and–even hate or pain!
Here are 7 Ghazal to get a hug from your inner solace:
- Jagjit Singh, Tum Ko Dekha Toh Yeh Khayal Aaya
- This one talks about the thoughts one has after looking at his beloved. Singer thinks how life would be different if she were together with him.

- ‘Humne kya khoya, hume kya paya,’ also leads to introspective sessions to contemplate decisions.
