“Ishq Di Galli Wich ” was a uper-hit song from movie “Kachche Dhaage” , composed by NFAK. However he offered the song to Hanj Raj Hans (who did a good job) , wonder how it would have been if he wound have sang it himself

Posted on by

Ab’ul Hasan Yamīn ud-Dīn Khusrow

Amir Khusrow once said ‘ Music is the fire that burns heart and soul.’ In the 20th century Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was the carrier of that fire

Amir Khusrow was not just the inventor of Many forms of music including Qawwali, but also a true philosopher and one of the greatest poets ever. NFAK started his musical journey in 1975 with an Amir Khusro’s ghazal in Jashn-e-bahara festival pakistan. Many great Pakistani singers heard NFAK there and showed lot of appreciation and love, which was the biggest motivation point for him ever, he was also given 500 rupees by a singer which used to be a great deal of money in those days. NFAK’s performance at Amir Khusro’s 700th anniversary was nothing less than special, it was this day when he was titled “Khusrau–e–Sani”  meaning Equivalent to Khusrow . He later went on to sing many of Khusro’s poems with great compositions making them a forever saga. Though NFAK is forever in-debt to Khusrow for his poems and invention of Qawwali music, Khusrow himself remains in-debt to NFAK for keeping his poems alive for ever. What follows are some great NFAK-Khusrow tracks
