हरीश भादाणी उस तरह के कवियों में से थे जिनसे सीखने के लिए ज़रूरी था उनसे जिरह करना. वे हिंदी के अप्रतिम गीतकार थे और बावजूद अच्छी ‘आधुनिक’ कविता लिखने के इस ‘जनकवि’ की जन-छवि और आत्म-छवि यही रही. उनसे जिरह किये बिना यह जान पाना असंभव होता कि बहुत सारी कविता की आधुनिकता सिर्फ छपाई की, ‘दिखाई देने वाली’ आधुनिकता है. वे गीत की आधुनिक ही नहीं आदिम विकलताओं के भी कवि थे. उनसे कविता सुनना, सैकडों की भीड़ में या किसी मित्र के घर के आँगन में, उनसे प्रेम पाने का ही एक ढंग था.
उनसे प्रेम पाने के लिए कुछ नहीं करना पड़ता था.
यहाँ प्रस्तुत है उनकी आवाज़ में उनके कई गीतों/कविताओं का एक खज़ाना जो उनके सबसे प्रिय मित्रों में से एक शिव कुमार गाँधी ने अपने घर पे रिकार्ड किया था.

Harish Bhadani was one of those poets you have to fight with in order to learn from. He was a unique, fabulous ‘geetkaar’. And despite writing excellent ‘modern’ poems, the public image, and the self-image, of this ‘Jankavi’ (‘poet of the people’) remained that of a ‘geetkaar’. Without fighting with him, it was impossible to realize that the modernity of many poems is only of a ‘visual’ kind – of the way they are printed. He was a poet not only of the modern possibilities of ‘geet’, but also of its primitive anxieties. To listen to him read/sing in a crowd of hundreds, or in the courtyard of a friend’s house, was one way of getting his love.
To get love from him – you didn’t need to do much.
We present here a treasure of his recordings, done by one of his most beloved friends, Shiv Kumar Gandhi.

Dear Editors,
I thank you for preserving and availing to us Harishji’s voice and orality in his absence. Only yesterday I came to know about Harish Bhadani’s demise when I met Jagdishwar Chaturvedi in Delhi. The news was a shock and I for some time did not believe that Bhadaniji is no more. Through this platform, I send my condolence to his family. His death for me and my family is a personal loss and his voice, his face and eyes and lips do reappear to my memory as live as the photograph you have published and the songs you have recorded.
