“Lyrics of a Legacy” is a tribute to the late Jagjit Singh and is a collection of all g̣hazals, geets, nazms from original albums composed by Jagjit Singh. Lyrics are presented in both phonetic English and the Devanagari script.

Our journey begins with lyrics from ‘Rare Gems’ covering Jagjit Singh’s music from the sixties and seventies. Thereafter, the lyrics appear by year of album release. A note at the end of each composition refers to the source album, year of release and the recording label. Each of Jagjit’s compositions evokes a particular mood or emotion and we have shared our perception of the emotion/rasa evoked by each non-film composition included in this book.

This book is a humble attempt to preserve the rich legacy left for our and future generations by the late Jagjit Singh. We share our diary of Jagjit Singh’s compositions. This book is a ‘labour of our love’ for the music and genius of Jagjit Singh’s virtuosity. This is ‘Our Jagjit Singh’!
