In a significant tribute to the legendary ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh, Nisschal Zaveri, acclaimed ghazal singer, composer, and producer, has released a rare recording of the song “Jab Uske Paas” on his YouTube channel. The song, set in Raag Baageshree and penned by the celebrated poet Qateel Shifai, was performed by Jagjit Singh in an intimate mehfil in 1989. This rare footage, believed to be composed by Jagjit Singh himself, has never been available on YouTube, making it an extraordinary find for ghazal enthusiasts and fans of the maestro.
