Pankaj Udhas

The much maligned singer for bringing down ghazal to common people by ivory tower ghazal connoisseurs. His forte is simplicity be it his choice of shers or his compositions. But he can sometimes touch your soul with soft melody in his velvet voice. It's sad that he could not reproduce his 80's work in recent past. Some of my favorites from Pankaj Udhas is

1. Dil mein naa ho jurrat
2. Tum aye zindegi mein to
3. Dard sinet se utha
4. Garmi-e-hasrat-e-naqaam se jal jate hain
5. Deewaron se milkar rona
