| Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan |
| Na jaween dholna, sanu rawan ch rol kay |  |
| Na sawal ban kay mila karo, na jawab ban kay mila karo |  |
| Rabba lakh lakh sukar manawan |  |
| Un key dar pay pohonchnay to pain |  |
| Meri toba, meri toba meri toba toba |  |
| Kali kali zulfon kay phanday naa dalo |  |
| Gardishon kay hain maray hoay hum, doston kay sataye hoay hain |  |
| Kehna ghalat ghalat, chupana sahee sahi |  |
| Noor-e-Khuda hai husn-e-sarapa rasool ka |  |
| Ni mai jana jogi day naal, Kani mundran |  |
| Menon chad kay kali nu tur chalya |  |
| Sitaro tum to so jao, so jao |  |
| Tum ek gorakh dhanda ho |  |
| Tumhain dil lagi bhool jani paray gee, Muhabat kee rahon |  |
| Kinna sona tenu rab nay banaya |  |

Life and career
Nusrat was born in Faisalabad, Punjab on October 13, 1948 to Ustad Fateh Ali Khan, a distinguished musicologist, vocalist, instrumentalist, and skilled Qawwali performer. He had one brother, Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan. Initially, his father did not want Nusrat to follow him into the Qawwali business. He had his heart set on Nusrat choosing a much more respectable career path and becoming a doctor, because he felt Qawwali artists had low social status. However, Nusrat showed such an aptitude for, and interest in, Qawwali that his father finally relented and started to train him in the art of Qawwali and he was also taught to sing within the classical framework of Khayal. This training was still incomplete when Ustad Fateh Ali Khan died in 1964 while Nusrat was still in school, and the training was continued by Nusrat's paternal uncle, Ustad Mubarak Ali Khan. Ten days after his father's death, Nusrat had a dream where his father came to him and told him to sing, touching his throat. Nusrat woke up singing, and was moved by the dream to decide that he would make Qawwali his career. His first public performance was at his father's funeral ceremony forty days later. Under the guidance of Ustad Mubarak Ali Khan, he became the group's leader in 1965 and the group was called Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Mujahid Mubarak Ali Khan & Party. ("Party" is the term used in Qawwali for the supporting members of the group).
Nusrat's first public performance as leader of the family Qawwali group was in March 1965, at a studio recording broadcast as part of an annual music festival called Jashn-e-Baharan organized by Radio Pakistan. It took Nusrat several years more to perfect his craft and emerge from the shadow of the groups that were regarded as the leading contemporary Qawwals. But once he did, there was no looking back. He firmly established himself as the leading qawwal of the 20th century. His incredible voice and his complete mastery of the genre made him a superstar in the Islamic world, especially in Pakistan and India. He sang in Urdu and his native Punjabi, as well as Persian. He was also one of the first South Asian singers to perform before large Western audiences.
