I wrote this Nazm in the unforgettable month of March this year just before I penned Purani Dilli and Wo Kamra Khaali Hai. It was my swan-song for the time-being. Thanks for reading. I recorded this very late in the night after a couple hours of singing on the Guitar, so the voice is hoarse,…

This month was an unforgettable month for me and quite ironically so, especially during the last leg of my stay here in the United States. This Nazm came to me late after midnight a couple weeks ago as I was staring at the wall while trying to sleep and staring at the huge pile of…
Lately, my mind has been buzzing and on last few nights just before drifting off to sleep some verses have been visiting me like old friends. Here is a Nazm I wrote few nights ago. Including a quick recitation for non-hindi readers.

Hadn’t really written any new Qalaam since March this year. This Nazm paid me a visit after midnight yesterday and I wrote it down on a paper. I named it Zillat and present to you with a quick recitation. [audio:http://gdhar.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/zillat3.mp3]

Sometimes one needs an excuse to write and some-times words dawn upon you out of no-where. Wrote this Nazm this afternoon while going for Lunch and tried to finish it tonight. The only gift I could ever give comes out of my writings. This was for Kaumudee, on her Birthday. Peace~ Here is a recitation:…
I was up till 1:30 AM last night penning down some verses that visited me around 11 PM last night. By the time I put my pen down, a rather lachrymose Nazm was born. But I reckon sadness is as much a part of us as happiness is. Hope you enjoy the Nazm. [audio:http://gdhar.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Gautam%20Dhar%20-%20Mai%20Thak%20Chuka%20Hoon.mp3]
