Habib Wali Mohammad

#1 Habib Saheb did possessed a unique voice. Possibly how could we forget his superb rendition, `waqt ki qaid mein zindigi hai magar.......` I appreciate your comments, Farzana.

#2. Irum, I agree with your views. Also, Habib Saheb was fortunate to team up with great composer like Sohail Rana Saheb. All the best, Anis

#3 edgeNRidge: Habib Saheb was raised in a very good environment. He is an exceptional singer and a great human as well. Sincerely, Anis

Jo ujarR gayaa uska satyanaas kaise ho sakta hai...phir woh `is` dayar ho ya uss?!

What is the sad news -- am confused.

Aur kucch log jab kisi mehfil mein aatey hai kya woh sirf doosron ke lafson ko parakhtey hai aur ghair-zimmedari se maatam manaatey hai?...koi janaaza nahin hai yahaan...agar kehna hai tau jis baat par likha gaya hai uspar ghaur farmaaye...``Hum bhi hai waheen, tum bhi ho waheen, bas apnee apnee kismat hai`` :)

[Lagta nahi hai jee mera is ujRay dayar mein]

anis saab, azaafi ``is`` nay satyanaas ker diya. vaisay bhi, your style seems to be evolving into a new direction- regression. apologies for my blunt opinion on your article(?)....

I did not realize Habib Wali Mohd was a Tabani. Tabanis are a huge business house in Pakistan.

HWM is one of my favorite singers. Gajra Bana Kay Lay Aa is a classic.

indeed a very sad news -- he immortalized Bahadur Shah Zafar`s classic Gazal -- lugtaa nahiN dil mera ujre dayar meiN -- what a marvelous tune -- and what a great adaigee.....one only wished he would improvise a little more ... nevertheless a golden voice

Anis:

Thanks for the wonderful article!

I have seen Habib Sahib perform live and enjoyed his gazal singing tremendously. And yes, he is extremely ``courteous to his fans``. Again, many thanks.

Temporal, my sincerest condolences old chap. Had to happen someday...

Anis:
Thanks...for me Habib Wali Mohammed is my first introduction to Pakistani ghazal singers. And I did not realise that Zafar could come `alive` until then...and of course, ``aaj jaaney ki zidd na karo...``. I think HWM`s strength as a singer was the crystal clarity of his voice and the feeling of `sukoon` one felt listening to him...I cannot think of any contemporary Pakistani singers rendering, ``Ae nigaar e watan tu salaamat rahey, maang teri sitaaron se bhar denge hum...``

I`d say his was the sound of a tranquil sea, Mehdi Hassan (my favourite) is a stormy ocean...and Ghulam Ali a canoe going flop-flop through some canal...

Not the best way to describe the greats...but the first things that came to mind...

Wish you had fleshed out the article a bit more with little vignettes.
