Let Us know… | ||
haq ali ali the 28 min version or the live in brackell fest has to be on the top of the list , also include the 70 min version of ye jo halka halka saroor
oh… that haq ali ali one is totally raw and awesome… .. will definately be in top 5..
And halka halka surror.. is by default in top 3
Akhiyan u deek diya version of 1993 was one of the emotional scene of Ustad Nusrat saab.
From Somalia
On the list should definitely be “Ay Athra Ishq”. Its very different and actually a hard tune to carry. I love NFAK’s treatment of the poem. I’d also have to add “Rabba Lakh Lakh” because of the sheer briliance of the recording and performance.
You are definitely a very very keen listener…
Well,i would say this list lacks many other famous hits too,like “koi tu hai jo nizam e hasti chila raha hai” and “afreen afreen “and “Meri touba” and “kise da yaar” and “menu yaar di namaz” ect.
they will definitely make it to the list… very soon
It should also have “likh diya apne dar pe kisi ne is jagah pyar krna mana hai” and “Jhoole laal Jhoole laal” from volume 10 osa
I will have ” Jhoole Lal Jhoole ” from Album Shahbaaz, its lot better in recording as well as feel..
And of course .. “Likh Diya ” will be there in list
Sun Charkhae
Yadaan Vichde Sajan
NI main Jaana jogi de naal
Akhiyaan Udeek Diyaan
just listen to no. 21 song,if you want to jump in your chair,and need ectasy touch.
that is 100% Applicable………
Aankh Utthi Mohabbat Ne …
Dosto Ki Shikayat Karu Main
Ya Mustafa Noor ul huda
Je tu rab nu manona
Yadaan Terian ( Sawaan Ki Kali Rato Me)
Wohi Khuda Hai
They will definitely make it to the list … lets wait for a bit more for what others think..
there are some more songs from this concert?do you know of them.Like i’ve seen yadan vchire sajan diyan from the same concert on youtube?please upload those too,quality is very good here.
Do ypu have full collection of nusrat fateh ali khan???if yes plzz upload all the songs and qawalis or give me the link.

Phiroon Dhoondta Maikadah
Hum Hosh Bhi Apne Bhool Gaye
Luk Luk Rona Pae Gaya

Kanday Uttay Meherma Ve
Biba Saada Dil Mod De……
The List can never end. There cant be a Top 50. All his songs are on the No. 1 slot

admin can u pls help ….? m searching for a gazal of nusrat fateh ali khan….the video was about a photographer ..clicking pics of a girl…n at last the girl was dead…..i had seen this video around 10 yrs ago since then m searching for dis gazal but i couldn’t find it out plz help…
i dont remember seeing any such vid of NFAK
but your descpription matches this Ghulam Ali’s nepali Ghazal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4_lLT8hISQ
Thankyou admin! But this is not that video. The video was kinda traditional..like typical indian video…btw thanks!
will be able to help.. if you at least remember what was song about (what was lyrics about!)
sanso ki mala pe?
or kise da yar na vichre… i guess they had such videos
Hello Pari, is it the song “Yaron sab dua karon’ with Jas Aroroa in the video? If so its not a sung by the great NFAK but Ram Shankar but meets the description as per your note.
I should have clarified in the earlier post that Yaaron Sab Dua was lifted from NFAK’s Ali Mola Ali Mola Dum Dum……..
also dieses jahr fliegt echt viel holz durch die gegend. wegen kyrill? ich finde keine einzige gute ma-fceitszhrict. alles so oberflächlich und chip-like. …und die von c´t trauen sich gar nicht, etwas mehr über mac usw. zu schreiben. die kaufe ich mir aber trotzdem ab und an. dazu noch ait, detail und autozeitung.
You are talking about Afreen Afreen , written by javed akhtar and sung by nusrat. Yeah it had one of the best cinematography done by bollywood at that time. With a man clicking pictures of a girl in desert.
very nice and great collections of songs….thanks
Some of my favorites which I could not find in this list
1. Khwaza sang kheliye dhamaar..
2. Koi bole Ram Ram
3. Je tu rab no manuna pehle yaar no mana
You havent added these most brilliant compositions which should be in top 20. So plz listen to them & tell your views:
1. Fasl-e-gul hai
2. Loye loye aja mahi
3. Mere rask-e-qamar
4. Hanju akhiyan de vere
5. Bina mahi kive
6. Khooni akhiyan
7. Dulhe ka sehra
All of them are definitely awesome & its impossible to Rank NFAK Songs..
The bigger question will be which sings to remove?
The only solution lies with expanding the list

Nusrat Fateh Sir,your songs /poems are really awesome.Specially i list out some of them are more healing such as:-Allah Hoo…,Haq Ali…and Ali da Malang..
And one like ,Mera piya ghar aya….add blushing smile on face.
A very very emotional lyrics of…..
Piya re piya re…..tara bina lage nahi mara jiya re……is a fantastic the way you sung it.
This list is missing one of the most brilliant pieces of music compiled by Nusrat,
Zehaal e Miskeen; a poem that captures the genius of Khusro, the ease with wich he has combined two languages leaves a person lost for words and Nusrat has truly done justice to this masterpiece, A great composition. One can truly feel the emotions in his voice.
I would recommend that one should read the translation of the poem first as it is in persian and brij(very similar to urdu). Although the translations available online contain many errors, one can get the feel of the poem.
Omg …. how did we miss that …NFAK’s Zehal e Misk een must be present in this list. …
Thanks for reminding. ..
NP, i wonder if anyone here knows where to find the full version of “doston ki shikayat” there is a 10min version online that is complete and another 13 min version that ends halfway into the qawwali, i prefer the longer version but it not being complete is really frustrating. Anyone knows where one can find the full version ?

Is there anyone have hajjey latha naio akhiyan da cha lyrics translation in english pleas zend me at [email protected]
I will be thankful to you pleas
Although I am no one to judge music of Khan Sa’ab, or to say any song is better than other, my favorite one is a Punjabi Qavalli by the legend, mainly due to its lyrics- ‘Kar le dil di safaai je didaar chaahida…’.
This song is more than enough to open one’s eyes and if message given is followed, no other ritual or visit to any ‘sacred place’ required IMHO.
That was our NFAK… that most of hardcore fans have a different song that drives them to tears…..
ps: thanks for suggesting this song..i m guilty of not listening to it yet…
Hi
i was at a function so there this qwaali was playing iam confused its which one lyrics are HUMKO TUMSE PYAAR HOGYA HUSAN KA DEEDAR HOGYA HOGYAAAA

Absolutely Right!..
Just need to find a place..
The only thing that emerges is that it is absolutely futile to prepare a list of even top 200 songs of the Great NFAK, leave aside numbering them.
Exactly…
Yet the idea was to give a starters list to soon going to be NFAK addicts…Han
May be we should rename the list

TUMAGAR YUNHI NAZREIN MILATEY RAHEY BEKHUDI MERE GHAR SE KAHA JAEGI… is my most most favourite gazal… May Allah Almighty bles Sir NFAK, Aameen
This is such an awesome treasure and reading through comments I can understand why people may have their own favourites. His songs are a treasure trow and can have a lasting effect depending the mood you are in, the time of life, the place you are in (not geographically). I remember being around 10 and listened to him live in India at one of the film awards in the early 90s. That 20 or 30 musical rendition left a lasting impact on my life and set me on a journey to discover what it was that drove me to another plane. It was a complete transcendental experience which led me to appreciate sufi music and mysticism. Submit yourself completely to his music and feel what it does to you. Personally for me I get the same trancefix at the haji ali dargah in Mumbai, which is magical and mystical and truly divine like NFAK’s music.
I know its at spot 36 but Tere bin nahin lagda does do something to me. It’s been used as a signature tune in the UK movie Bend it Like Beckham. You take the tune out and may be you wouldn’t have felt the ethnic emotions that touch your heart. May be its at number 36 as it signifies 2 lives in one of the culture. A mortal man in first life with immortal memories that he has left behind for generations to cherish, learn and appreciate.
Plz listen aag daman mein lag jayegi perfect hit qawalli of NFAK the master and his magic once u listen u will fallen deeply with this song
The man who dealt in ecstasy. R.I.P legend Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. I am biggest fan of yours. You will be missed.
add, Ay wada shikan, tum aik gorakh dhandha ho, gardishon k mary hovy hain, pilao saqi pilao, zee hal e maskeen, mai aur meri awargi, sadgi tu meri zara daikhye. mery rashke qamar.

6)chand doob jata ha
7)chan sajna mod muharaan
8)raah aasaan hogae ho gi

Master legendary singer
I was expecting AISA BANNA SAWARNA &AYE WADA SHIKAN in the list
oh man this one is absolutely brilliant. There is no one alive to sing even the 1% of what maestro did!
Honestly I don’t think we can do justice to Nusrat sahab by compiling a Top 50 or even a Top 100 list.
The treasure he has left behind for us is too intense and too much for us to choose from and most importantly difficult for us to sort from.
I have been listening to Nusrat from my childhood, from the past 20 years or so, and each day I listen to his work, it seems its the first time I am listening to him. The same qawalli is sung in completely different tone each time and each day I find something new and better from the treasure.
Although a good effort but doesn’t do justice to Nusrat Sahab. Each piece of Nusrat Sahab is a master piece in itself. Period.
No offence meant.
YOUMUST INCLUDE SADGI TOUHAMARI ZARA DEKHYE
you must include SADGI TOU HAMARI ZARA DEKHYE

Thanks for sharing your music list ……

Meri Tauba is a truly soul touching song – and apparently rom his last album. I highly recommend to anyone who has a love for spiritual music and spirituality in general, and of course if you are a Muslim who understands Urdu the words will reach the depths of your heart.
