Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Tattoo’s
NFAK will always remain in our life, but is there any way to literally stick him to us. Well yes… “Tattooooooooooooo”
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Tattoo on a Punjabi Fan
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s tattoo was first popularly seen on Romy Shay, from Rishi Rich Productions camp. Expressing that his biggest inspiration was, and is, the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Romy took a break from the usual routine of the music studio, to the tattoo studio, where he had a tribute to the legend inked to his arm!
Romy explainss the tattoo reads a quote from a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan classic, Qawalli; othey amla dey honay ney navede kisse nai teri zaat puchni, meaning; : up there (heaven) you will be judged (by God) by your deeds, and not by what religion or cast you are.
Isn’t… Well when Romy did this.. Do you think our Hardcore Punjabi fans would have stayed behind… take a look..

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan In India, 1996
It was a bitterly-cold winter evening in Delhi when I discovered Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Fortified with some whiskey I was listening to, and watching Nusrat. This was in late 1990 at a senior colleague’s house. I remember the date because I had just been transferred from Bangalore to Delhi. Delhi was a city I was hardly familiar with. I knew very few people there. And the December winter of Delhi was bitingly cold! I was a bachelor and the invitation from my colleague for drinks and dinner at his place, close to the company guest house I was staying, was most welcome. He, a Sardar, was a generous host and he plied me with good whiskey. More significantly, during the course of the evening, he introduced me to Nusrat’s music.

NFAK’s Music In Therapy/Treatment and this time “Child Birth”
Anil Dewan with Kavi (The Child)
Nusrat’s haunting voice has been one of a kind music-therapy for his fans for years now, it seems to wash away the pain and transport us a more joyous world, or some times closer to divine. Well this is not the first time , I have heard stories of NFAK’s music used in treatment. Even when back in 90’s NFAK received “Pride Of Performance” in Pakistan, the rumour was that his songs treated the disturbed daughter of the military ruler. Then there were many reports from Japan and parts of Africa where NFAK’s music was used in Research and therapy. But this time I have a story of NFAK’s music used in Clild Birth.
