This interpretation of the classic ghazal features Rohini Ravada on vocals and Shankar Tucker on keyboards, clarinet, and tabla.
This is one of my favorite compositions of all time. Unfortunately I had to leave off the last verse in order to keep the time suitable for a YouTube video. I will release the full version with all verses as part of an album later on.
