The following Songs were recorded during NFAK’s first visit to Tokyo in 1987. He was invited to perform at the prestigious National Theatre first for a series of performances & later at the King’s Residence, who was deeply moved by NFAK’s music. The response & respect NFAK got at Japan, moved NFAK himself, making it his favourite visiting country.

  It’s his 65th Birthday, a day blessed for eternity..

Yesterday millions of us in India sat breathless under threat of a super-cyclone and I feared why it had to be 13th October, I never wanted to remember this day as one which devastated Indian lives…. the worst is over and the loss of life was almost null, miraculous, amazing right … this day remained blessed as it was supposed to be …

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
