Saadgi To Hamari Zara Dekhiye: One Night's Promise, a Lifetime of Waiting (Saba Akbarabadi)
He believed a promise that was only for one night, and he spent his whole life waiting for it. Kshitij and Burair explore Saba Akbarabadi's ghazal "Saadgi To Hamari Zara Dekhiye," made immortal by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's qawwali. They read it as a love poem and as a portrait of a man disappointed in himself, full of regret and self-pity, who chose heartbreak knowing exactly how it would end. The conversation also covers renditions by Zeeshan Ali, Zartasha Zainab, Akansha Grover, and Team Sukhan at Jashn-e-Rekhta.
