“The first time I saw Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan”  is a deeply touching narration by Pakistani writer, Mohammed Hanif of the incident when he first saw NFAK in his village in 1972.  The eight years old Hanif was so moved that he decided his career even before the Party’s  performance ended  " He wanted to sit behind the large man (Nusrat) , clap, sing and make the audience go wild " … Did he live his dream ?  The program also takes a very wise take on accusations following the “Global Nusrat” …… A Must Listen..

'Saiyaan' from "ishkq in paris" dedicated to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

It’s was quiet hard to figure when did “Ishqk In Paris” hit the screens and when was it taken down. Though the movie didn’t live up to any Preity Zinta’s hopes or the viewer’s hopes at all, it did had something honest to look forward too, a song dedicated to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan sung by Rahat composed by Sajid-Wajid (Sajid is himself a die-hard NFAK fan) and written by Kausar Munir.

Amir Khusrow once said ’ Music is the fire that burns heart and soul.’ In the 20th century Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was the carrier of that fire

Amir Khusrow was not just the inventor of Many forms of music including Qawwali, but also a true philosopher and one of the greatest poets ever. NFAK started his musical journey in 1975 with an Amir Khusro’s ghazal in Jashn-e-bahara festival pakistan. Many great Pakistani singers heard NFAK there and showed lot of appreciation and love, which was the biggest motivation point for him ever, he was also given 500 rupees by a singer which used to be a great deal of money in those days. NFAK’s performance at Amir Khusro’s 700th anniversary was nothing less than special, it was this day when he was titled " Khusrau- e- Sani"  meaning Equivalent to Khusrow . He later went on to sing many of Khusro’s poems with great compositions making them a forever saga. Though NFAK is forever in-debt to Khusrow for his poems and invention of Qawwali music, Khusrow himself remains in-debt to NFAK for keeping his poems alive for ever. What follows are some great NFAK-Khusrow tracks
