Koi yeh kaise batayein ke woh tanha kyon hai?

Your gazals transported me to another world. They defined many nebulous emotions for me and many others of my generation. You made me want to fall in love all over again each time I heard your songs. Your songs brought home longings that I did not know I had. Your songs brought to me an understanding and love of Urdu shayari. Your bhajans brought me closer to my God, brought me peace. You made me realise that silk and gravel can pair up easily- in one voice. Yours.

Jagjit Singh, rest in peace.
