One of the greatest songs ever written in Indian music history is a tragic Thumri by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Awadh. This rangeela king was a very cultured gentleman. He learnt Hindustani vocal with Basit Khan, Pyar Khan and Jaffar Khan and underwent Kathak training under Thakur Prasadji and Bindadin Maharaj. Although his pen-name was Qaisar, be used the pseudonym Akhtarpiya for his numerous compositions. Under this pen- name, he wrote over 40 works, poems, prose and Thumris. Diwani-Akhtar, Husn-i-Akhtar contain his Ghazals. Unfortunately, he was up against the British. They exiled him to Calcutta. His tragic departure from his beloved Lucknow is lamented till this day. When he was informed about his exile, he wrote this Thumri: Even when he was exiled to Bengal, he married many a woman there and enjoyed life. But his beloved Lucknow remained a dream till the end. K. L. Saigal has, of course, given an immortal Bhairavi rendition of this song in Street Singer - youtube/watch?v=9tWhBLZcWhA&authuser=1 https://youtube/watch?v=pSLiu-epB0Y - Basu Bhattacharyas AAvishkar, music Kanu Roy https://youtube/watch?v=w_BmHDD8rSM saigal https://youtube/watch?v=y_8YJHTSC0w Bhimsen Courtesy: Shri K Govindan Krishnamenon
