From humble beginnings in Faisalabad to mesmerizing global audiences, this exclusive documentary explores the divine journey and lasting legacy of the King of Qawwali. Dive deep into the life, music, and inspiration behind this timeless maestro.

Some days, time slips away in melody—today, it stops in remembrance. It’s been 28 years since Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan left this world, but what is time to a legend whose voice still shapes the soul of music?

Nusrat’s music was never just sound—it was a prayer, a longing, a wild unburdening of the heart. Every qawwali he sang was soaked in devotion, every beat pulsed with love and mystery. When his voice soared, it carried us with it—lifting the veil between this world and the next, letting hearts swim in oceans too deep for words.

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”.  This pious though by NFAK truly justifies the following tribute by a fan ( ‘Rishi R Jha’).

Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, when he sings, the GEETA, the KORAN, the BIBLE,the Sri Guru Garanth Sahib Ji , all are turned into music…a harmony with the existence …the godliness of the Universe can be felt.

So what follows is the English subtitled video & “Lyrics & Translations” of song “Koi Bole Ram Ram”, and the complete performance of NFAK in Gurudwara ( I know you must have seen it). Lets believe in Each Others Religions, beliefs & Gods.. ..

Happy birthday Nusrat, Let’s start celebrating this day, with the beautiful tribute and rendition of ‘Wohi Khuda Hai’ by Coke Studio

Here is a beautiful podcast and introduction to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s music from Ben “Bear” Brown Jr.

Enjoy Ecstasy!

Dearest Nusrat,
You are missed, here in this world that you have perfumed forever with your music. Each and every day I must hear your Heavenly voice. To have been in your presence and hearing your voice, the voice from Heaven–how fortunate I was, to spend time with you, in your music and crossing the globe with you.

The universe had to wait a long time to bring you forth, to the Glory of God.
