O Jagjit! O Emperor of Melody, The ghazal weeps as it remembers you. You introduced me to the ghazal, You acquainted me with the magic of melody. Listening to you awakened dreams in my heart, And strengthened the threads of my love for music. I know that everyone must eventually depart, Yet my heart refuses to find comfort. My heart refuses to find comfort, It finds no peace... no peace at all... The notes are troubled, the melodies have disappeared, The world of poetry is wrapped in mourning. O Jagjit! O Emperor of Melody, The ghazal weeps as it remembers you. Whenever someone experienced betrayal, Your songs brought comfort to their wounded hearts. Whenever my heart broke, I found you beside me, And listening to your singing, my hours would pass. Through you, the river of poetry flowed, Your melodies were harmonious, your words were sweet. Today, the eyes of the world are filled with tears, May your soul sleep peacefully. May you sleep in peace... sleep in peace... O Jagjit! There is no one who can equal you, You still reign supreme in the hearts of millions. The notes are troubled, the melodies have disappeared, The world of poetry is wrapped in mourning. O Jagjit! O Emperor of Melody, The ghazal weeps as it remembers you. The notes are troubled, The melodies have disappeared. The world of poetry Is wrapped in mourning. O Jagjit! O Emperor of Melody, The ghazal weeps as it remembers you... It weeps... The ghazal is weeping... The ghazal is weeping... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ About this poem “Ghazal Ro Rahi Hai” is an original Urdu poetic tribute celebrating the enduring musical legacy of Jagjit Singh.
