Ghazal Ka Safar

"Since my early years I have been a keen student of music and avidly listened to Classical music, non-film Ghazals as well as film music and developed an understanding of 'Shairi', 'Gayaki' and composition. Ghazal, film and non-film, was my favourite form of music. May be it is the many years of listening to the great singers, composers and studying Urdu literature that has helped me receive so much appreciation in my own efforts.

Ghazal Ka Safar was a good opportunity for me to go down the years and extricate those gems that have been a major part of the Ghazal's journey. HMV's catalogue is so vast and rich that it was indeed a challenging task.

Gulzar and I have tried to represent the cream of poets, artistes and composers in this priceless collection."
