Munshi Channulal Dilgeer lived before Anees and also penned 417 marsias. ‘Ghabraaey gi Zainab’ used to be recited in Lucknow since long, especially on ‘Shaam e Gharibaa’n,’ but in a quick momentum. When Nasir Jahan first recited it on radio in 1956, he changed the delivery to a slow rendition that became highly appreciated and widely emulated.</p>
