NFAK - Nasir Kazmi - The Perfect Duet

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
People say that Music is the nutrition of soul. So, I’m gonna express some of my feelings about the nutrition of soul. It was none but the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan who persuaded me to create a whole new post for my blog. NFAK, a person with miraculous voice and extremely intelligent in selecting the poetry for his music, had mesmerized a world for a long time.
Lyrics have played a pivotal role in some of his ever green songs/ghazals. If you ask me to be more selective from NFAK’s hits, I won’t take a single moment and specify the songs with Nasir Kazmi’s poetry. To me NFAK and Nasir Kazmi is a perfect duo. To be honest Nasir Kazmi’s poetry was an influential factor in the creation of this post as well. My all time favorite ghazal is “GHAM HE YA KHUSI HE TU MERI ZINDIGI HE TU”.
Most of the time it happens that you like a song/ghazal for a specific period of time and it looses its worth while listened repeatedly, this is not the case with NFAK’s music. Whether you listen it repeatedly, or give a duration pause, believe you me, NFAK’s music won’t fade at all, because his music is eternal.
