A Valentine's day special release by Nishita Charles featuring Gaggan Mudgal, is Faiz Ahmed Faiz's version of the award winning song Aapki Yaad Aati Rahi. This love song, a ghazal, is a tribute to two friends & stalwarts in Urdu poetry - Makhdoom Mohiuddin & Faiz Ahmed Faiz both born on 4th & 13th Feb respectively. The lyrics here are mostly from Faiz's tribute to Makhdoom, the original song writer (Makhdoom ki yaad mein).
The essence of the ghazal is "When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory then becomes a treasure"
The song was first released in Makhdoom's lyrics in the Bollywood movie Gaman starring Farooq Shaikh & Smita Patil.
