<\/div>\nFamous Bollywood numbers \u00a0\u2018Ikk Kudi Jihda Naam Mohabbat Ghum Hai\u2019, \u2018Maiye Ni Maiye\u2019<\/em> and \u2018Ajj Din Chhadeya Tere Rang\u2019<\/em> belong to Batalvi\u2019s repertorie.<\/em><\/p>\n Kailey chose to pay his tribute to the legend, Shiv Kumar Batalvi by dedicating 50 songs, consciously handpicked from the treasure trove of the late poet\u2019s immortal poems, doling out one each on every single day. Composing the music himself, Kailey started his tribute series on April 19, which concluded on June 8, marking the end to the 50-day long musical odyssey.<\/p>\n Kailey, who is an A-grade singer of Akashvani, Delhi, and All-India Radio artist, has uploaded the poet\u2019s rich repertoire on his YouTube channel and presented them under the tag \u2018RD Kailey\u2019s 50 Song Tribute to Shiv Batalvi\u2019. He cherry-picked from the poet\u2019s infinite collection of poems, especially the lesser known poems and \u2018ghazals\u2019 penned by him.<\/p>\n The songs that Kailey composed and doled out as a part of tribute to the great poet of the bygone era, include \u2018Assan Taan joban rutte marna…\u2019, \u2018 Mainu Vida Karo..\u2019, \u2018Mein adhoore geet di ikk sattar haan…\u2019, \u00a0 \u2018Mein \u2018Maaye ni duss meriye maaye iss vidhva rutt da…\u2019, \u2018Uchiyan pahadiyan de olhe olhe…\u2019, \u2018Punneyan de Chann nu koi Masseya kikkan…\u2019, \u2018Tussin Kehri rutte aaye mere Ram jiyo…\u2019, \u2018Dheeyan de dokhdaadhe ve loka…\u2019, \u2018Larr lag kemein fauzi de saheliyo bann geyi mein subedarni…\u2019Thabba ku zulfan waaleya mere sohniyan mere laareya…\u2019, \u2019Eh kis di ajj yaad hai aayi…\u2019, \u2018Maahi mera sher japda jadon kar ke parade ghar aawe…<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kailey recalls as he shares the oomph moment with a tinge of nostalgia, “The poems composed by Batalvi had been an indispensable part of my life for many reasons than one. We have been organising commemorative musical soirees for decades now on the occasions to mark his birth and death anniversaries to keep him alive in our hearts\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cThis year, on the occasion of his 50th death anniversary, I thought of doing it in a different style, unlike the previous years. The idea of dedicating 50 songs to perpetuate the fond memory of Batalvi, the prominent poet, endearingly called the Keats of Punjab, came to mind. I thought\u00a0there can be no better and befitting tribute to this iconic poet than crooning his verses,\u201d he says while talking to CityWoofer<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Batalvi, who had winsomely woven his intense emotions of birha<\/em> (pangs of separation) of his unrequited love in his own inimitable style high on romanticism heightened with the pangs of separation, which remains a conundrum for the nosey critics. Batalvi was the one who gave a seminal twist to the Punjabi poetry by adding newer dimensions to it, connecting it with soul and touching the heartstrings.<\/p>\n Batalvi’s contribution to Punjabi literature will remain unparalleled and\u00a0unforgettable for generations to come. He has created a rich repertoire of poetry soaked in passion,\u00a0pathos and the pangs of separation. His emotion-charged autobiographical poetry has no parallels, to say the least. His magnum opus Loona<\/em>, an epic play based on the ancient legend of Puran Bhagat, bagged him the Sahitya Akademi award in 1967, making him the youngest recipient of this coveted award.<\/p>\nUnique Tribute <\/strong><\/h2>\n
