As we celebrate Papon's birthday, here are five of his finest ghazals 

1. Dard Patharon Ko Bhi

A song written and composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his album Sukoon about broken relationships, this heart-wrenching ghazal speaks of the pain caused by love gone wrong. The ‘Dard Patharon Ko Bhi’ is elevated with Papon’s artistry as his emotion-driven voice dominates the song composition. 

2. Jab Kabhi Tera Naam

With lyrics of Gulzar and music of Vishal Bhardwaj, ‘Jab Kabhi Tera Name’ encompasses the sadness of love and hence its longing. It’s Papon’s voice once again that takes the song to another level and makes it an everlasting song. 

3. Ranjish Hi Sahi

Papon saab’s recital of this classic ghazal is surrounded with heartfelt emotions. Beautiful song originally composed by Nisar Bazmi and later replicated with perfection by Mehdi Hassan. Papon’s ghazal rendition beautifully breathes life into the sadness that is deeply embedded within this noli.

4. Aaj Jaane Ki Zidd Na Karo

This gharayel lekh was narrated by Fayyaz Hashmi and criminally performed in the strain of Farida Khanum. Papon’s sweet and sonorous voice brings forth the memories of the romance that once was and the parting griefs of moments that last for a lifetime.

5. Mohabbat Karne Wale 

Mohabbat Karne Wale is a ghazal that captures the essence of love in its beauty and pain. Featuring lyrics by Qateel Shifai and music composed by Khayyam, Papon gives his soulful yet contemporary touch to this classic.
