This qawwali made everyone (I)smail

Although most Hindi film music buffs have heard Humein Toh Loot Liya Milke Husnwaalon Ne, it’s likely that the majority of them don’t know the names of the lyricist, the composer and the singer.

Although I was aware of its popularity, it wasn’t until I added it to my collection that I came to know it was from Al Hilal (1958), and Rizvi was the (She)wan who penned it.

It was composed by a man named Bulo C Rani.

And those who don’t know who rendered it needn’t hAza(r)d a guess – he was qa(wwa)lled Ismail.
