The singer had an incredible range. He could sound brooding and agonised one minute, and then moony, even brimming with hope, the next: "Kyun aaj kal neend kam khwab zyada hai, lagta khuda ka koi nek irada hai... patthar ke is rastey par phoolon ki ek chadar hai (I wonder why these days I am sleeping less but dreaming more, looks like God has a divine plan for me... On this rocky road, there"s a blanket of flowers laid out for me)."
