Query - Saigal's / Dil Se Teri Nighah Jagar Tak Uttar Gayi
===========================================


This Ghalib's ghazal is available on many of the compilations of K.L. Saigal,
including the first re-issue: LP / Greatest Love Songs, Vol 2 / 3AEX 5069.

As has been the case with most of Saigal's compilations, the Film names
and Artists' info. is not listed.

Saigal sang the same titled song in the film: Karwaan-e-Hayaat (1935)

Query: I want to know, if the version available on Saigal's compilation is
a later recording (that is to say is a Non-Film song) or is it the
equivalent 78 rpm recoding of the film's song (have the same
couplets and similar tune).

HFGK / Vol 1 doesn't list any record # for the film version,
but that does not mean that the record was not issued.

Thanks

Please don't take these "corrections" amiss.

When we remember or recall such songs,I feel we
owe it to the poet (and also the singer) to
write the lines as were originally penned (and
sung) by them. It would be quite unfair to
both if we are not careful in this regard.
And it must be said to Saigal's credit that he
was very very careful in this respect.

Sorry for the error. It was a typo.

Thanks for the correction

Talking of Saigal and Mistakes in Lines, I have a cassette of Saigal's
Ghazals on Hindusthan Records... and the list is printed for a few of
them as below...

1. Ayee ko chahiyee - for Aah ko chahiye
2. Ekhar fir bhi ana - for Idhar phir bhi aana
3. Sukriya hastika - for Shukriya hasti ka

kaunsi dafaa lagayee jaaye?

the correct lines left as an exercise for the reader's imagination.

blame it on the Bengali accent and its literal transliteration.
