Among the last quiet flames in this long chandelier of melody stood Muhammad Haider Khan “Khumar” Barabankvi — a voice that kept the old lamp of tarannum glowing till the spring of 1999. Born in Barabanki, a town whose cultured air echoes with Lucknow’s elegance, Khumar grew up amid mushairas and literary gatherings, first as a gifted child reciting in local circles and later as a celebrated presence on grand stages. His voice — warm, stirring, made for passion — carried the classical ghazal with a tenderness he inherited from his mentor, Jigar Muradabadi. After choosing the ghazal as the most faithful vessel for his feelings, he remained devoted to it all his life, whether writing for films in Bombay or enchanting audiences across the country. Simple in manner, gentle in speech, and marked by a life of early indulgence and later repentance, Khumar left behind three collections — Atish-e-Tar, Raqs-e-Mai, and Shab Tab — and a name that still glows softly in the long tradition of Urdu’s most beloved art. _____ Full Text of the Urdu Ghazal in Roman Transliteration: Gham-e-dunya ne hamein jab kabhi naashaad kiya Aye gham-e-dost tujhe hum ne bahut yaad kiya Husn-e-masoom ko aamaada-e-bedaad kiya Mujh ko khud meri tamannaon ne barbaad kiya Ashk beh beh ke mere khaak par jab girne lage Main ne tujh ko tere daaman ko bahut yaad kiya Qaid rakha hamein sayyaad ne keh keh ke yahi Abhi aazaad kiya bas abhi aazaad kiya Phir gayeen nazron mein aansu-bhari aankhein un ki Jab kabhi gham ne mujhe maayel-e-faryaad kiya Haaye woh dil mujhe us dil pe taras aata hai Tu ne barbaad kiya jis ko na aabaad kiya Aah woh khaatir-e-naazuk na ho maghmoom kahin Hichkiyaan kehti hain aaj us ne mujhe yaad kiya Tujh ko barbaad to hona tha baharhaal Khumaar Naaz kar naaz ke us ne tujhe barbaad kiya #Urdu #Poetry #Literature
