Man Ki Lagan-Paap-The Nusrat Legacy Lives On!
Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is a singer in the Qawwali style native to Pakistan and India. Son of Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan and nephew of the great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahat took over Ustad Nusrat's Qawwali party after his death in 1997, as Nusrat had no sons of his own. Nusrat had taken him under his wing, and trained him in classical music and Qawwali since a very early age. Rahat began performing alongside Nusrat at the age of 10; he can be seen in numerous earlier videos of Nusrat. His voice is high-pitched unlike the booming husky voice of Nusrat. His first solo album Janasheen was a great hit, but he has somewhat faltered since then. Being Nusrat's nephew, expectations of him were amazingly high. He also sang for Indian films. His song "Jiya Dhadhak Dhadhak Jaye", for Mahesh Bhatt's movie "Kalyug", became very popular.
Here I present another very high pitched but very melodious song "Man Ki Lagan" from the very popular film "Paap" that was released in 2004. The craze for paki singers continues in bollywood. I believe that if a singer has the talent, dedication and the intense wish to do things differently a basic training in any form of classical music be it hindustani or carnatic would enable him/her to sing any kind of song with a little help. This song has been one of my most favorite songs as it it is not only simple but strikes you right in the heart like a dagger! And mind you...this does not have any loud background music, just the bare live kind of interludes on the guitar and harmonium.
I also have added the video of the song which was highly popular.

Just heard your rendition "Man ki lagan" -(fresh from the oven??). The obvious challenge in singing this song is the same scale that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has sung in. And you have done quite effortlessly. Hats off to you!
I could be wrong but
shouldnt it have been "jaise man mein hiran " instead of jaise band mein hiran" that you sang?The background score in your recording seemed much lighter and feeble compared to original- thought it could have been more powerful..your thoughts?
Thanks anand...It is not man(mind)...it is indeed ban (forest)
hiran means deer...
The backing track was obtained from the net..and was a compressed one..so the quality was not that superb.. okie though after some EQ tweaks.....Will change it as soon as I get a better karaoke track..
Super Pradip! This is my favorite song of Rahat Fateh Ali as is Jiya Dhadak...U hv done an amazing job with maintaining the style :) ur range is fantastic! esp. in the lines 'tera tujhko somp de"... :)
great end too :) would love to hear Jiya Dhadak too in ur voice :)
Thanks for this treat!
Awesome singing once again! Your range and class is just unbelievable. And how easily you glide between different styles.As u rightly said you are an example for the fact that talent and dedication are supreme. This is easily one of your best songs and blemishless.Amazing!
pradeepetta am here for the first time and i am floored by the precision in your singing. cannot find a fault anywhere.think your voice is way ahead of rahat in melody and clarity. rahat has a rough voice and shaky in the lower notes like mere dil ka jahan, but your voice is sweet powerful and very crisp in the lower notes too.makes that special.keep blogging.
mindblowing effort again. pradeepji that was really superb!
wonderful song and one of my favorite of all times, thanks a million and great show with chitra iyyer TV today
Pradip garu really this is diff song......enjoyed a loooooooot.....:)
Wow! what a song.thanks for the superlative effort pradipji. u made my day.
pradip that was really out of the world.Except for the small distortion in the karaoke track that was just mind blowing stuff.Kudos man!
I have heard this many a times before, meaning I could easily point out a flaw if it happened. But you have rendered it perfectly fit to the original and your voice is more beautiful than the original voice. (No offense meant to Rahat though). Great going Pradipettaa!
പ്രദീപ്, വളരെ നന്നായിരിക്കുന്നു
ആദരവോടെ ഗോപന്.
Really Superb..
one of my favorite...
we r waiting for jiya dhadak....
Regards
Wow, that took my breath away just like when you had sung Mere Sapnon ki Rani, Chandi Jaisa, Jab deep jale etc etc etc..., live. This is just superb. Much much better than Rahat's version. Waiting for more....
pradip bhai, no words to describe how i feel after your wonderful rendition, you have done perfect justice to the song and I think its very difficult to hit that high note in this song and you have done effortlessly, kudos to you
Came here accidentally searching for this song and video and i must say i found a treasure here. am from mumbai.have heard many singing this song and failing miserably. your hindi accent considering that you are from keral is remarkable! could not find any mistakes. your voice and range are astounding and so is your ease of singing.you should surely be sing in bolyywood.
That was really breathtaking. Not heard many singing this song. And u have done full justice to the song. You have a great voice!
Sir superb!...enjoyed it thoroughly, great answer too. Proud to be an Indian!
Pradip ...Excellent rendition ...loved it :)
Pradip -
I agree with all the above comments (ofcourse , except the comment from the anonymous) and I second Sreejith's comment. You are being so modest here... I can say 100% confidently that your version is better than the original...
All our good wishes are with you!
Sandhya :)

Pradeep you are an amazing singer.
Think you sang better than the original. I felt Shafqat Amanat Ali is a better singer than Rahat.As someone suggested please try Yeh Hosla. It's one of my favourites too. T.C
Richa
Absolutely awesome pradeepji.Am spellbound.keep singing such amazing numbers.
Amazing rendition Pradip. The song exercises a fantastic range and you have done full justice to it.
Pradeep that was really a thundering effort! Kudos. What a voice and range u got man! Your voice sure is way ahead of rahat. keep amazing us with such songs.
Mind blowing rendetion pradeep. Enjoyed every bit. Why are you not in Bollywood?
I have improved the karaoke audio quality with the original high quallity karaoke track from Aniruddh. Would like to thank Sandhyaji for providing me with this track!
Wow!! You have done complete justice to this song!! Wonderful!
Pradeep ji .. this is one of my favs .. ur rendition is simply awesome , PERFECT :). hearing it over n over .
Hi Pradeep,
Like your songs since Meri awaz suno.
This is a great job. as good as the original from Rahat Fateh ali Khan sahib.
Regards,
Ranjith
Since you have performed so exceptionally well in this song, I guess it should be relatively easy for you to sing "Naina tag lenge" by Rahat. If poss, please sing this sometime. A humble request.
