THE SHOW KHAYAL: BY MANJARI:

I had always wanted to do a television show on ghazals. There are a lot of people who are into ghazals purely because of the richness of its poetry. I posed the idea to television producer Shibu Chakravarthy and the channel was all for it. I have now completed 64 episodes of the show and we have explored the crème de la crème of ghazals, from Mehdi Hassan to Jagjit Singh. The shoot happens once in two months. It would take me a month to listen to several hundred ghazals and whittle it down to a few for the show. I have now completed the show.

Manjari:

Sincere thanks goes out to my colleague without whose help, "Khayal: By Manjari" would not have been possible, we have listed 24 Ghazals which has been a pleasure to listen to, which brings back memories of the Masters, viz: Mehdi Hassan, Jagjit Singh, Ghulam Ali and to a lesser extent Asha Bhosle. As Manjari would have described this session as the crème de la crème of ghazals.

Thanks once again Sis Radha for the many behind the scenes work you have put into this.

14) BADNAAM MERE PYAR THA AFSANA HUA HAI

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkYndYK3Zco

Badnaam mere pyaar ka afsana hua hai
Deewane bhi kahte hain ki dewana hua hai

Rishta tha tabhi to kisi bedard ne toda,
Apna tha tabhi to koi begana hua hai

Deewane bhi kahte hain ki dewana hua hai

Mausam ne banaya hai nigahon ko sharabi
Jis phool ko dekhun wohi paimana hua hai

Deewane bhi kahte hain ki dewana hua hai

Badnaam mere pyaar ka afsana hua hai
Dewane bhi kahte hain ki dewana hua hai

Baadal ki tarah a ke baras jaiye ek din
Dil aap ke hote hue veerana hua hai

Dewane bhi kahte hain ki dewana hua hai

Badnaam mere pyaar ka afsana hua hai
Deewane bhi kahte hain ki dewana hua hai

Trans:

NB This one gives me goosebumps although there is no translations, I still had to listen for about ten times for now.

AN ATTEMPT AT TRANSLATIONS: my old hindi/urdu dictionary and my contemplations on what this can mean:

Badnaam mere pyaar ka afsana hua hai

My love story has become unbearable
Deewane bhi kahte hain ki dewana hua hai

Even my critics say that I am madly in love

Rishta tha tabhi to kisi bedard ne toda,

A selection exists but the cruel one broke it
Apna tha tabhi to koi begana hua hai

One who was dear has now become a stranger

Deewane bhi kahte hain ki dewana hua hai

Even my critics say that I am madly in love

Mausam ne banaya hai nigahon ko sharabi

Beautiful climate has made my eyes drunk
Jis phool ko dekhun wohi paimana hua hai

The flower which I see starts to blossom

Deewane bhi kahte hain ki dewana hua hai

Even my critics say that I am madly in love

Badnaam mere pyaar ka afsana hua hai

My love story has become unbearable
Deewane bhi kahte hain ki dewana hua hai

Even my critics say that I am madly in love

Baadal ki tarah a ke baras jaiye ek din

One day I feel like I am on a cloud
Dil aap ke hote hue veerana hua hai

My lonely heart recognise your existance

Dewane bhi kahte hain ki dewana hua hai

Even my critics say that I am madly in love

Badnaam mere pyaar ka afsana hua hai

My love story has become unbearable
Deewane bhi kahte hain ki dewana hua hai

Even my critics say that I am madly in love

One day a good friend will offer us a better translations:
