Long ago when I was working in my Audio Studio, I got an invitation card of "Aik Sham Khalid Asghar kay Naam" given to me by one of my Multan Radio Friend (I think Ali Tanha or Riaz Mailsi or may be Malik Aziz ur Rehman sahab, Jamhoor Di Awaz fame) I didnt use to goto functions in routine but for that evening i was in some pensive mood and decided to go for a few minutes.. just as change.. from tedious recording n dubbing job. But i fell in Khalid Bhai's charm there.."dekhti reh gayein aankhen meri" Rather "sunti hi reh gayein sama`tein meri." Unfortunately i cudnt hear him again..but much laters when i went to Multan Radio with a script of my feature "Manzil Pakistan" which went on-air on 14th August as Independence Day Celebration, i had Khalid Bhai in my mind..and i asked my Producer friend Raiz Mailsi about Saray Dukh Seh Gayein..The spool we had in Multan Radio was badly damaged and the start of the song was missing altogether..so i offered them my services to re-master it (Khalid Bhai had meanwhile shifted to Lahore as Station Director i think, else we cud have re-recorded it) Anyways I did a lot of Patch work and made it worth playing on Radio again. Many years later I uploaded it on Youtube and sort of "Introduced" Khalid Bhai on Social Media.. and it became an instant hit there (called Viral now a days) and guess who saw it laters and contacted me immediately on phone? Khalid Bhai :-) and he arranged to send his own clean copy of this ghazal which I posted there and now posting here for you. Enjoy plz. Regards Dr. Hassan Bukhari
