KARACHI-The great Sufi Qawaal, Naatkhuwan, and singer Amjad Farid Sabri was murdered two years ago.
The son of Ghulam Farid Sabri and nephew of Maqbool Ahmed Sabri of Sabri Brothers, he emerged as one of South Asia’s most prominent qawwali singers. Like his elders, Sabri dedicated his life to keeping alive the tradition of Sufi qawwali that dates back over seven centuries. Amjad used to recite poetry sung by his father and uncle.
Some of the most famous Qawwalis by Sabri include ‘Ali Ke Sath Hai Zehra Ki Shaadi’ and ‘Na Poochiye Ke Kya Hussain Hai’.’
His other works includes Karam Maangta Hoon, Main Nazar Karoon Jaan e Jigar, Allah Allah, Dhoom Macha Do, Kaab Ki Raunaq, Kaash Yeh Dua Meri, Ali Mera Dil, Phir Dikha De Haram, Tuloo-e-Saher Hai Shaam-e-Qalandar.

His Qawwalis Tajdar-e-Haram and Bhar Do Jholi immortalized him in the hearts of his fans.
We miss him most when we sit in the front of the television in Ramadan. No one can fill the gap and emptiness!
