The musical icon of an era, Pankaj Udhas enthralled legions of music lovers through his unique style. Born into a musically-inclined family Udhas was introduced into the world of music with lessons on tabla. However, he eventually discovered his forte was vocal and diverted all his attention to singing and then to ghazals.
He later entranced generations with his intoxicating melodies rendered in a dreamy and drowsy strain. Apart from the meditative effect, there is always an undercurrent of melancholy in his renditions.
A sustained tenor of pathos characterises his songs, which evoke a slew of emotions, including pain, loss, despair, solitude and romance and all embalmed by a soothing sense of hope.
Here is a list of a few evergreen Ghazals of Pankaj Udhas:
Chitthi Aai Hai
Thodi Thodi Piya Karo
Peene Walo Suno
Ek Taraf Uska Ghar
Dil Dhadakne Ka Sabab
Chandi Jaisa Rang Hai Tera
Aap Jinke Kareeb Hote Hain
Aur Ahista
Deewaron Se Milkar Rona
