Ku Ba Ku Phail Gai Baat | Aqil Sharifi & Hirday Buddhdev | A composition of Mehdi Hassan Sahab

“Ku Ba Ku Phail Gaye” — a timeless ghazal composed and originally performed by the legendary Mehdi Hassan sahab, the King of Ghazal. The soulful lyrics by Parveen Shakir capture deep emotion, longing, and poetic beauty. I sing this piece in loving memory of Mehdi Hassan Sahab, whose voice continues to inspire generations. I am also grateful to my talented friend Hirday Buddhdev, who played a beautifully expressive tabla accompaniment for this performance.
