On the special occasion, let’s revisit some of the iconic melodies of NFAK that continue to resonate with audiences, both in Pakistan and beyond:

Yeh Jo Halka Halka Suroor

From NFAK’s 1991 album The Day, the Night, the Dawn, the Dusk, the song continues to be cherished by fans worldwide. Despite several remakes of the original masterpiece, it remains a heartwarming favourite.

Dillagi

Tumhe Dillagi Bhool Jani Padegi is from the 1992 album Dillagi Vol 8. Once again, fans have experienced various remakes, but none of them come close to the brilliance of this magnum opus.

Mast Nazron Se

It delves into the theme of heartbreak, and its soulful lyrics continue to resonate with us today, perhaps even more profoundly than ever before.

Dam Mast Qalandar

An all-time classic, Dam Mast Qalandar from Sultan of Sufi stands out as one of the most iconic pieces in Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s extensive discography.

 

Afreen Afreen

On a day like this, one cannot miss out on this hit. While many have been oscillating between the original and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Momina Mustehsan’s version of Afreen Afreen, there’s no denying that this love-filled qawwali sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan just hits differently.

Kisi Da Yar Na Bichray

How can we forget the masterpiece from NFAK’s 1995 album A Tribute: The Essential Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Vol. 1

 

Fans are expressing their heartfelt wishes and fond memories, acknowledging Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s unparalleled contribution to the world of music. Social media is abuzz with tributes, underscoring the enduring legacy of the “Shehnsah-e Qawali” (King of Qawwali).
