Ghairon Ko Bhala
About Ghairon Ko Bhala
Ghairon Ko Bhala is a ghazal composed and performed by Pakistani classical and ghazal vocalist Hamid Ali Khan. The track appears as the fourth entry on his 1999 studio album Ghazals, released under the Shalimar Recording & Broadcasting Company Limited label. The album adopted the CD format as its primary medium.
The track spans a duration of 4 minutes and 57 seconds. Khan’s rendition adheres to the traditional ghazal structure, characterized by poetic Urdu verses set to a melodic framework rooted in North Indian classical music. The lyrical content of Ghairon Ko Bhala explores themes of trust, betrayal, and human relationships, a recurrent motif in the ghazal genre. Instrumental accompaniment details remain undocumented in available sources, though ghazal recordings of this period typically featured harmonium, tabla, and occasional string arrangements.
The album Ghazals marked one of Hamid Ali Khan’s commercial releases during the late 1990s, a period when Pakistani ghazal artists gained recognition in South Asian markets. The Shalimar Recording & Broadcasting Company Limited, based in Lahore, served as a prominent distributor for classical and semi-classical music in the region. No additional production credits, session musicians, or lyricists are explicitly attributed to this track in the provided context.
Hamid Ali Khan, a disciple of the Patiala gharana, contributed to the preservation of ghazal traditions through recordings and live performances. His work often bridged classical khyal techniques with the emotive delivery required for ghazal singing. The 1999 release aligns with his broader discography, which includes collaborations with other artists and solo projects spanning several decades.
