This Song of Shiv kumar Batalvi is sung by many artistes like Jagjit Singh, Hans Raj Hans, Jagjit Singh Zirvi (Punjabi Ghazal Artiste) and may be by many others.
This version by Jagjit Singh remains eternal and signature of his excellent work. Haunting Melody, according to many people this is his one of his best compositions till date.
I got this video (can’t say video, but a slideshow) on youtube, found worth to put it on this blog.
Since Niranjan ji has started this blog with the early work of Jagjit Singh like “Raat gayee kar Tara Tara,” me stretching the cord to “Shikra”
These two songs “Raat Gayee kar Tara Tara” is a beautiful masterpiece and “Shikra” have become a folk song in all these decades after being recorded.
Ghamaan Di Raat Lambi Ne,
Ja Mere Geet Lambey Ne,
Na Bhedi Raat Mukdi Hai,
Na Mere Geet Mukde Ne,
Anil Vohra
Another masterpiece indeed!
Shikra is truly a master piece of poet Shiv Kumar Batalvi and Jagjit as singer. I am surprised it is not more popular than it is.
