Fahmida sings Syed Haqs last song
DL reporter
Celebrated singer Fahmida Nabi, who has the credit to sing the final song written by Natyacharya Selim Al Deen, has now got the opportunity to lend her vocal to the last song written by recently-demised multifaceted litterateur Syed Shamsul Haq. DhakaLive has news that based on his realisation about the life, Syed Haq had written a poem titled Mrittikar Ghono Ondhokar lying in a hospital bed during his last few days before he passed away on September 27.
The tune of the song has been done by noted music director Sheikh Sadi Khan and its recording was completed at Bangladesh Television (BTV) on October 4. Fahmida Nabi termed the opportunity as a memorable incident of her life.
Anchored by Afzal Hossain, Fahmida Nabi will be seen performing the song in a programme titled Hrod Kolomer Tane on October 8 on BTV after the 8pm news. Under the overall supervision of director general of BTV Harun-or-Rashid, the programme is produced by Mahbuba Ferdous.
Fahmida Nabi said about the song, For me, this is really a matter of great fortune that I got the opportunity to lend my vocal to the last song of Haq uncle (Syed Shamsul Haq). While rendering the song, I tried to feel that how he wrote the poem encountering the death so closely. When a creative person left us throwing a question, its really tough to find out its answer. In the beginning, I couldnt enter into the song; but when I was lost in the song, then I didnt find myself anymore.
Sheikh Sadi Khan said, I feel immensely fortunate for being involved in the work of an extraordinary person like Syed Shamsul Haq. It is really hard job to frame a poem into a song. Even then, I have tried to tune the poem as a song. While engaging myself with the last work of Syed Haq through the project, a sense of fascination has been developed for it. Besides, Fahmida Nabi sang the song in a fantastic manner.
To note, Fahmida Nabi sang the last poem by Selim Al Deen, which was transformed into a song titled Akasha O Samudra Opar.
