Koi Bole Ram Ram (Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan for Universal Brotherhood & Tolerance) with english translations
The date was 31st December 1989, and at Ramgarhia Sabha Gurdwara(A Sikh Temple) Slough UK , a Musilm was singing “Koi bole Ram Ram (A Hindu God) “. For people present, there were no separate religions “Allah was Ram” & “Ram was the Guru”. By performing this song, NFAK proved that “music has no Religion” & “Religion could never bound NFAK”.

Many you might be knowing that the birth NFAK was nothing less than God’s blessing for their family , as he was born after four sisters… Her sisters were so happy that they were running out in streets shouting and writing on walls that " God blessed them with a brother" , who knew that day it was a blessing not just for their family but for the entire world.
