I developed my interest toward music specially towards qawwali after my matriculation in 2016.Since then i love listening music, mostly when i have to go for bed ,bathing ,doing the toughest and solid problems of mathematics or whenever I am in any kind of depression or downheartedness I love to play music …It was rainy day ,dark clouds covered the sky, the day our 11th class pre board examination results were out and i had failed in my chemistry portion.
I feared to show off my appearence to my parents and other family members who would shower their words of insult upon me. For about two weeks i was in a state of trepidation and depression. It was Friday and I decided to see my friend who had also failed in the same subject… On entering his room i was somewhat amazed .He had closed all the windows to avoid light and was listening to an amazing and wondering music. On seeing me he, as usual, kissed and hugged me and offered tea which I accepted.
we had a beautiful talk for at least an hour ,discussed the faults in our chemistry portion ,by the way i asked about the music and the singer whom he was listening keenly..
He replied, it is the SHAHENSHA singing Qawwali.
Who is this shahensha,i asked hurriedly?
Haha,dont you know him?,it is Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan playing sargam.
I got tempted towards the singer and i asked for one of his qawwali recordings.
He gave me one, his most beautiful one ,
” Tumhae dil lagi bool jaani pade gi..
muhabbat ki rahau mae aakar tou dekho”
Reaching home i played it on my speakers and found them intresting enough.
I downloaded his another ghazal recording from YouTube..
“kehna galat galat tou chupana sahae sayae .
qasad tumhae qasam ha bataana sahi sahi”
This ghazal performance is his all time best..
Days remain passed, my interest towards
The heroic and romantic singer got increased, till I became his diehard fan.
Three years have passed now,i dont remember a single qawwali of Nusrat Fateh Ali khan which I skipped…
Best of khan sahab is his Sargam, which has tempted and addicted people towards Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan…
His biggest success is his name appearing in “Guinness Book Of Records”, which is not every ones cup of tea and only legends could do…
I have got so much tempted towards him that even during last year JEE paper I was crooning his best lines . Some days before, one of my cyber friends had posted beautiful lines on fb which suit me also.
