Originally written by Daag
Dehlvi, and performed by Farida Khanum, Uzr, is one of the purest and most
splendid ghazals of its time. Prithvi Gandharva, an outstanding vocalist and a
music composer beyond the splendid, brings this age-old raga to an expert
perfection and Aishwarya Majmudar, a performer of melodious repertoire, with
grace and subtlety, both captures it with her power to capture it. The song
brings it to the screen. This pairing with exceptional musicians brings to you
a simple song with figurative grandeur.
The lyrics of the song are
very beautiful- 'Ujr aane mein bhi, aur bulaate bhi nahi, Bais-e-tark-e-mulaqat
tehte bhi nahi' which means 'My dear, you don't come to see me, and neither do
you Let me come here, and neither do you tell the reason for our acquaintance
wither'. When love reaches its peak, lovers have been known to experience a
pain that is so calm, calm, but firm. And from that blossoms the knowledge of
separation.
Aishwarya Majmudar, who is
a singer, writer and composer, has sung effortlessly in over 20 languages across
11
genres. She was a Voice of India winner, and has also lent her voice to several
Bollywood films and regional ones. "Uzr has been my all time favorite
ghazal, and I feel more honored to be given the opportunity to bring it to
life. , both in songs and on screen. One of those rare gems, it's my whole
heart. And the way the earth has given it wings, this ghazal just soars high!
I'm so lucky, I would say, ab koi ke It's not easy for me. Now the gathering is
in the air."
Prithvi Gandharva said,
“This absolute gem was on my mind and as a musician I always wanted to create a
new sound without taking away the pure essence of this ghazal. Aishwarya’s
melodious voice and her beautiful delivery in Daag Dehlvi’s poetry It is a
sincere effort on the part of the artist and the biggest platform, Sufiscore,
