Aksar Shab-e-Tanhai Mein

Aksar Shab-e-Tanhai Mein is a classical ghazal performed by Pakistani vocalist Amanat Ali Khan. The track belongs to the khayal-influenced ghazal tradition and features Khan’s signature rendition in the raag-based framework characteristic of the Patiala gharana. The composition spans a duration of 5 minutes and 12 seconds.

The recording showcases Khan’s vocal control and improvisational taan sequences, accompanied by traditional instrumentation. The lyrical content, rendered in Urdu, explores themes of solitude and longing, aligning with classical ghazal poetry conventions. The exact release year and album affiliation remain undocumented in available sources, though Khan’s active period in the 1960s–1970s suggests probable origination within that era.

No official label attribution or commercial release format (LP, cassette, digital) is confirmed for this specific track. The composition circulates primarily through archival collections and posthumous compilations of Khan’s work. Notable for its emotional depth and technical precision, the ghazal exemplifies the fusion of North Indian classical music with Persian poetic forms.

Amanat Ali Khan, a central figure in the Patiala gharana, contributed to the preservation of gayaki (vocal) traditions through recordings like this. The track’s enduring popularity stems from live performance renditions and later anthologies dedicated to his repertoire. Further production details, including session musicians or arrangers, are not publicly verified.
