When it comes down to the most symphonic ghazals, Madan Mohan’s name always comes to mind. Madan Mohan Kohli (June 25, 1924 - July 14, 1975), better known as Madan Mohan, was a famed Bollywood film music director of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. He is particularly remembered for the ghazals he composed for the film industry, mainly using the voice of India's Melody Queen, Lata Mangeshkar and 'King Of Ghazals' Talat Mahmood.
Besides ghazals, Madan Mohan also composed tremendously mesmerizing tunes for the films. Who can ever forget the haunting melodies, such as:
- Tum jo mil gaye ho
- Aye dil mujhe bata de
- Zaroorat hai zaroorat hai
- Naina barse
- Charagh dil ka jalao
- Main ye soch kar

Azam,
Superb rendition and a great tribute to the master genius "Madan Mohan" Really...I was very curious to listen your beautiful voice and you broke the ice with an awesome number. In fact very well sung and I am very glad. I presume July is a special month and we will be listening great melodies from you.
Very well done & thanks for coming back in action!
Azam bhai.. As always well sung. Keep up the good and quality singing.. :)
Excellent!Very soothing and melodious!Felt so good to hear this after a stressful day at work.
Would love to hear you sing 'Teri Aankhon ke Siva' and 'Aap ke pehloo mein aakar'.
Awesome song and equally well sung ... enjoyed every bit of it!
Excellent! Madan Mohan's compositions are a class apart. Loved this one in ur voice. Eagerly waiting for "Tum jo mil gaye ho" :-)
Welcome back Azam. And what a come back. Wah bhai wah, kamaal ki sitaare ho aap!
As Paras said, this is a simple composition of MM. The main ingredient in this number is the proper feeling, and expressions. And you are a master of both. 'Emphasis' in correct enhanced the subtle sweetness, and flow of the song even better. Kahaan se laate ho itna perfection yaar?
While we are on the MM page, how about:
“Rang Aur Noor Ki Baraat” (Puria Dhanashri?)
“Tumhari Zulf Ke Saaye”
(aap to Yeh Duniya Yeh Mehfil gaaoge nahi, main to request karte karte thak gaya hoon)
Azamji,
Nice come back. Very melodious soothing rendition. Enjoyed very much!!!
Keep Singing ... me listening

Azam,
Very well sung! This is one of my favorite songs. Great tribute to a unique musician as Madan Mohan. The other songs of my choice from your list are "Tum jo mil gaye ho" and "Main ye soch kar". It will be great to hear those in your voice. It is a pleasure to listen to a wonderful singer as you. - Mala
Nandita,
I am glad that you liked the song. "Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho" is in que now :)
Paras,
It took two geniuses to jump start my blog :D. I have found the track of "Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho". However, its nowhere near the original in terms of rhythm. So, I am working on it to match the original.
Thank you for the requests. I will keep the other songs in mind too.
RK,
Thank you for listening to the rendition. I am happy you liked the song.
Surojit,
I sure will listen to your other songs. Aap ki qeemti ra'e ka bohat shukria!
Dinesh bhai,
Aap ki mohabbat hai ... bohat shukria. Aur duaon mein yaad rakhiye to hum kuch na kuch gungunate rahain ge.
Riaz Khan,
Mere bhai mere bichde hue dost ... tum kahan ho ...! Glad to hear from you! Please call when you get the time.
Bhavana,
Thank you very much for such comforting words. "Aap ke pehloo mein" was done a while ago but it was a direct recording or what some people call "one-shot" recording. I will post that sometime.
Deblina,
Thank you for your encouragement.
Smitha,
Thank you very much for your kind words. I will be working on "Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho".
Asim Da,
I must apologize for not singing some of the songs you requested. Let me be very frank! Besides busyness, what has often kept me from recording some of the very famous Rafi songs is the low quality of tracks. Often, in excitement, I recorded songs only to later realize how dull and different the track was from the original song. Anyway, aap ka hukm sar aankhon pe. I will surely record "Ye Duniya". Thanks again for your pat on the back as always.
Shantha,
How are you? Gald to hear from you. Thank you very much for listening.
Mala,
So happy to have your input! I will defintely be working on the songs you mentioned.
Very very sweet.. great!
Quality singing.
Azam Bhai,
Kya baat hai. Madan Mohan ji ki jai ho. What a composition. You once again did full justice to recreate the magic of original.
Regards,
Harry
