Dear Webmaster,

What a treasure-trove.
Hearty thanks for taking all
the trouble.
And Pande ji is right. There was a longer
version, I purchased in New York from World Music
about ten years ago, but unfortunately lost it to a friend.

The same thumri has been sung by Shipra Bose who learnt from Begum.There is one more stranza in this Thumri.

hum pardesi, tum pardesi
bhali bani hai yog
jabse bhanvra bhaye bidesi
bisar gaye sukh-bhog

hoti gar uqda kushaii na yadullah ke saath
“zauq” hal kyonke mera uqda e mushkil hota.

yadullah being epithet for hazrat ali.

roughly translated this means that if it had not been for the intervention of ali ,how else would zauq’s difficulties be removed?

i received a copy of the gazal with the first line intact. let me see when i can reach it to you. this is one of the two gazals of ibrahim zauq that k l saigal sang.the other is the better known
laayee hayat aaye, qaza le chali chaley
apni khushi na aaye ,na apni khushi chaley.

in fact the matla a of the present gazal is different.

is tapish ka hai mazaa dil hi ko haasil hota
kaash mein ishq mein sar ta ba qadam dil hota.

Pandeji, probably a duplication artifact — this is how my copy sounds, as I remember. I am going to re-digitize the tape one of these days and I will see if comes out any different.
