Its title is “Ghoom, Charakhra Sayyan Da” -“Turn, O Precious Spinning Wheel of the Lord”: “a friend of God”, “a Saint”.Īfter this first poem, Begum Abida Parveen sings another one, this time by Hazrat Shah Hussain of Lahore (R.A.), who lived from 1538 to 1599. ** “Wali” literally means “one who is close ”, i.e. The one who consoles the sufferings of those who believe in himĪt each moment, with every breath, I repeat: “O Lord, O Lord….” In the darkness, I am the one who seeks Him the most I am going to the well to fill my pitcher This is a translation of Hazrat Sachal Sarmast’s poem: Mahi Yaar Di Gharoli Bhardi. Hazrat Shah Abdul-Latif Bhita’i (1690-1752), Hazrat Sachal Sarmast was extremely tolerant, he saw the same Truth in all religions, and intensely disliked religious formalism and the tyranny of the narrow-minded mullas.

With more than 100 albums to her acclaim, she remains the front runner for consistently delivering music that remains evergreen as herself. Her impeccable voice is known for drowning audiences into wajd and ecstasy. Hailing from the small city of Larkana (Pakistani side of Sindh), she still reigns the world of Sufiana and Arfana Kalam. However, when one is seeking an artist who is equally adept at Urdu, Sindhi, Punjabi, Seraiki kalam in any form such as Qawwali, Kafi, Classical and Ghazals, there is one undisputed Queen.

Pathanay Khan for Seraiki folk, Nusrat Saheb for Punjabi & Urdu Qawwali, and Ustad Juman for Sindhi Folk Music. When it comes to Sufiana and Arfana Kalam, different Sufi and Folk artists have marked their niche i.e.
