Ghazal singer Rajendra Mehta passes away at Pedder Rd home

Mumbai:

Noted ghazal singer Rajendra Mehta, 85, passed away at his Pedder Road residence Wednesday.

 He and wife Nina were the first couple to sing ghazals together, well before Jagjit and Chitra Singh or Bhupinder-Mitali.
Their immortal nazm ‘Tum mujhse milne sham'a jalakar, Taj Mahal mein aa jana’

composed by Pt Govind Prasad Jaipurwale was later picturised on Farooque Shaikh and Surinder Kaur in ‘Yahan Wahan’ (1984).https://youtu.be/QQ45J85CtiU

‘Humsafar’ also had ‘Suna hai maine yeh jabse ki tum gulshan mein aaoge’.https://youtu.be/ii9F-Sf8C-Y


Nina Mehta died in 2014.

Her brother Sudhir Shah said, “Rajendraji was suffering from chest infection and kidney failure. We had admitted him to Bhatia Hospital but took him home as he showed signs of recovery. Sadly he passed away at 5 am.”

The last rites were conducted at Chandanwadi crematorium by son Neeraj.
The couple
Rajendra Mehta (85) and late wife Nina
also had a daughter who died of cancer eleven years ago.
Singers Talat Aziz and Pankaj Udhas mourned his loss.

Aziz said, “I first met the Mehtas when they came to Hyderabad in 1974. We interacted more after I moved to Mumbai in 1976.

They were the first couple to sing ghazals in India.

 Their song ‘Taj Mahal mein aa jana’ attained cult status, but Rajendraji also had a unique style of speaking which I liked. Pankaj and I were in touch with him during his illness.”

LYRICS PREM WARBARTONI MUSIC GOVIND PARSAD DIGITAL AUDIO.
jab aanchal raat ka lahraye
aur sara aalam so jaye 
tum mujhse milne shamma jalakar 
taaz mahal mein aa jana 
tum mujhse milne shamma jalakar 
taaz mahal mein aa jana 
jab aanchal raat ka lahraye

ye taaz mahal jo chahat ki 
aankho ka sunhara moti hai 
har raat jaha do ruhon ki 
khamoshi jinda hoti hai 
is taaz ke saye mein aakar 
tum geet wafa ka dohrana 
tum mujhse milne shamma jalakar 
taaz mahal mein aa jana 
jab aanchal raat ka lahraye

tanhaai hai jagi jagi si 
mahol hai soya soya huya 
jaise ki tumhare khawoon mein khud 
taaz mahal ho khoya huya 
to taaz mahal ka khawaab tumhi ye 
raaj na maine pehchana 
tum mujhse milne shamma jalakar 
taaz mahal mein aa jana 
jab aanchal raat ka lahraye

jo maut mohabbat mein aaye 
wo jaan se badhkar pyari hai 
do pyar bhare dil roshan hai 
wo raat bahut andhiyari hai 
tum raat ke is andhiyare mein 
bas ek jhalak dikhla jana 
tum mujhse se milne shamma jalakar 
taaz mahal mein aa jana 
jab aanchal raat ka lahraye
aur sara aalam so jaye 
tum mujhse milne shamma jalakar 
taaz mahal mein aa jana 
tum taaz mahal mein aa jana 
tum taaz mahal mein aa jana 
tum taaz mahal mein aa jana
