Amongst traditional music styles which evolved in India, Ghazals are right up there as a unique combination of poetry and melody; which could give expressions to myriad emotions. In the hands of accomplished poets like Sahir Ludhianvi, Shakil Badayuni, Kaifi Azmi; virtuoso music composers like Naushad, Madan Mohan, Ravi & Roshan; and supremely talented singers like Mohd Rafi and Talat Mahmood(featured in the photograph); Ghazal reached amazing heights in the 50s and 60s Bollywood music. This episode attempts to take a small step towards appreciation of this genre. The featured ghazals are -

1. Main zindagi ka saath nibhaata chala gaya - Hum Dono(1961)
