Who can forget the supper hit
songs of Pakistani Film Industry from the era of 60’s to 80’s? The most prominent
voice of Pakistani Film Industry (winner of countless awards including Tamgha-e-Imtiaz,
Pride of Performance and Hilal-e-Imtiaz by the Pakistani government) Mehdi
Hasan passed away on June 13, 2012 in Karachi because of failure of breathing.
I don’t consider him just an
ordinary singer; to me he was a magician who used to perform magic tricks with
his unmatched voice. He introduced Pakistani music to not only few countries but
to the world, literally. He was considered as the institution for both Ghazal
and movie singing.
The King of Ghazal singing, Mehdi
Hasan (Late), started his career back in 1956, though he also got chance to
sing Ghazals and songs at Radio Pakistan in 1952, and his last recorded song
for movies was released in 2000. His first breakthrough ghazal was Gulon main
rung bharay from the movie Farangi. After that there was no looking back. He
undoubtedly reigned specifically in 70’s because the excessive production of
soft, romantic and musical Pakistani movies.
How can people forget the magic
of his unlimited romantic songs like; Hamarai aankhon main aaj tak wo, rafta
rafta wo mere, patta patta boota boota, Tu meri zindagi hai, yeh tera naazuk,
zindagi ki raah mein and many more. Not only these if you really want to listen
to his light hearted songs then listen to “Paanday Kalayee Karalo” picturized
on Shaahid. The singer was a magician by every means!
May his soul rests in peace and
may Almighty shower HIS blessings on Mehdi Hasan.
