Visaal marks the coming together of two greats, Ghulam Ali and Gulzar, in a unique album from HMV. The first song Khushboo jaise log mile afsane mein explores the sentiments of waiting for that one special person. Jaane kiska zikr hai is afsane mein; Dard maze leta hai jo dohrane mein is a beautifully expressed thought. The next number, Sehma sehma dara sa rehta hai explains the pain of the true lovers heart. Old memories haunt one continuously and burn up ones sensitivity and emotions.

Mera kya tha tere hisab mein; Mera saans saans udhar tha is sensitive poetry rendered with deep emotion by Ghulam Ali Saheb. Jo guzar gaya wo to waqt tha, Jo bacha raha wo gubar tha. Time passes away, leaving in its train, a cloud of deeply stirred emotions. Jab bhi aankhon mein ashk bhar aaye; log kuch doobte nazar aaye follows next. Muddatein ho gayi sehar dekhe; Koi aahat koi khabar aaye touches one. The pathos of the song is highlighted by the beautiful flute rendition.

Side B begins with Khushboo gunche talash karti hai; Beete rishtey talash karti hai, an exceptional number. Apne majhi ki justaju mein bahar; peele patte talash karti hai. A painful past makes a new beginning extremely difficult for the sensitive heart. Ek ummeed baar baar aakar; Apne tukde talash karti hai' stirs you deeply. Shaam se aaj saans bhaari hai follows next. Aapke baad har ghari hamne; Aapke saath hi guzari hai is an intensely romantic line.

Koi atka hua hai pal shayad; Waqt mein pad gaya hai bal shayad brings to the mind strong sentiments of the past. Dil agar hai to dard bhi hoga; Iska koi nahin hai hal shayad, is a simple but intensely moving line. Even ashes may have remaining sparks in them, which are remnants of the past. Extremely sensitive poetry sung to perfection by Ghulam Ali Saheb.

Hum to kitnon ko mahjabin kehte; Aap hain isliye nahin kehte the last number in this exceptional album, brings a smile to your face. This lively and romantic number lingers in your mind long after the album is over. Do buy this one of a kind album.
