Khulus – Ghazals of Dreams, Desires & Destiny by Shishir Parkhie

 

Khulus ghazal album cover - Shishir Parkhie - T-Series - Contemporary Ghazals by Ashok Jharia Shafaq

Some emotions live between dreams and reality, between desires unfulfilled and destiny unfolding. In Khulus, ghazal singer and composer Shishir Parkhie, along with the words of emerging contemporary poet Ashok Jharia "Shafaq", offers a musical journey into these subtle spaces where the heart often dwells.

Released by T-Series, Khulus carries forward the rich tradition of ghazal while embracing the freshness of contemporary thought and feeling. The verses touch upon not only romantic love, but also longing, spiritual quest, introspection, and acceptance of destiny.


The Tracks:

1. Jab Tassavvur Mein
A tender reflection on how thoughts bridge distances. Even in separation, the beloved remains close through imagination.

2. Wo Pyaar Wo Khuloos
A deep introspection on attachments and ultimate spiritual contentment. Material desires fade before the purity of true devotion.

3. Bekhudi Sii
An ecstatic surrender to love’s magic, where reality dissolves into blissful intoxication.

4. Allah Allah Ye Kya
A plea to the divine for reunion. The lover invokes higher powers to overcome obstacles in love’s path.

5. Ghamon Mein Zara
A poetic ode to pain — where sorrow itself teaches tenderness, depth, and understanding.

6. Sitam Ki Wo Bijli
A bold celebration of the heart’s resilience, where even suffering becomes insignificant before the beloved’s allure.

7. Kaha Dil Ka
An intimate exploration of desire, vulnerability, and emotional identity, wrapped in poetic delicacy.

8. Daur Pe Daur
A playful surrender to intoxication, where worldly concerns vanish, replaced by ecstatic abandon.


The Artistry Behind Khulus

The emotive voice of Shishir Parkhie, combined with the thoughtful arrangements, breathes life into each ghazal. This collection retains the classical essence of ghazal while presenting it through a contemporary lens — accessible yet profound for today’s audience.
