In the voice of Pakistan’s first opera star based in London, Saira Peter, the famous ghazal of Bahadur Shah Zafar, the famous poet of the subcontinent, “Baat Karni Muh Mushkil Kabhi Esii To Na Thi” is being liked immensely on social media.
Saira Peter has the distinction of being a master of Eastern and Western classical music.
These days, Saira Peter is a regular guest singer at the London-based Noor Jahan Arts Centre’s Silver Jubilee celebrations as a regular guest singer.
Music concerts are being organized every week at Noor Jahan Arts Centre.
Yesterday, Saira Peter created the magic of sound with Ustad Lataft Ali Khan.
On this occasion, he presented the words of famous poets of the Indian subcontinent in his voice, and Bahadur Shah Zafar’s ghazal “Batkarni Muhish Mushkil Kabhi Esii To Na Thi” was liked the most.
About this, the opera star Saira Peter said that Bahadur Shah Zafar’s speech has all the characteristics that were present in his contemporary poets.
Saira said that dubious words, slowness, good manners, spare words and idioms are some of the characteristics of his speech.
The singer added that the traditional influences on Bahadur Shah Zafar’s poetry are very deep.
He said that sometimes Bahadur Shah Zafar appears to describe these influences in a new way and at some places he further matures and strengthens the tradition itself.
