About Singer Shaukat Ali

Shaukat Ali Khan started singing during his college days (1960s) he was trained by his elder brother Inayat Ali (fame originator of "Challa" ) but got recognised as a folk singer in 1970. Since then, he has continuously been singing ghazals and Punjabi folk songs.

"Kiyon door door rehende oh hazoor mere kolon, mainu dass deo hoea ki kassor mere kolon" was his first Punjabi song that had recognised him as a folk singer in the Pakistani society.

Hailing from a family of artistes, his elder brother Inayat Ali Khan, also a great singer, was his ustaad. Keeping the family tradition alive, his son Imran Shaukat Ali has also gained name and fame in the recent past.

Apart from ghazals, the famous Punjabi folk song of Shaukat Ali is: "challa and kadi te hass kebol ve naan saadi jind rol ve". Among ghazals, "jab bahaar aae to sehra ki tarf chal nikla", is on the lips of every Pakistani and Indians.

Recalling his first meeting with Mohammad Rafi in 1979 in London he said, "I was surprised to hear my cassette in the car stereo of Rafi sahib. It was a great honor for me. Later, he supported me a lot.

Shaukat Ali Khan, who is better known as the 'Voice of Punjab', has also been honored with the highest Pakistani civilian Presidential award. He first gave live performance in India during 1982 Asian Games in New Delhi. Since then, he has performed a number of times in India and many other countries.

A great fan of Gurdass Mann, Harbhajan Mann, Surinder Shinda, Hans Raj Hans and many other Indian Punjabi singers
*****************************
About Poet:

Syed Waris Shah was a Punjabi Sufi Muslim poet, born in ( Jandiala Sher Khan ) what is now Pakistani Punjab, living from 1722 - 1798.
He is best-known for his seminal work Heer Ranjha, based on the traditional folk tale of Heer and her lover Ranjha.

Heer is considered one of the quintessential works of classical Punjabi literature.

Waris Shah is popular in India and Pakistan, especially in the Punjab region.
Waris Shah was born into a reputed Syed family, the descendant of Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was born in the village of Jandiala Sher Khan, Sheikhupura District, Punjab in or around 1722.
His father's name was Gulshar Shah. Waris Shah's parents are said to have died when he was in his early years and he probably received his education at the shrine of his preceptor.

After completing his education in Kasur, he shifted his residence to Malkahans, a town twelve kilometres in the north of Pakpattan. Here, he resided in a small room, adjacent to a historic mosque. Waris Shah died in or around 1798. His mausoleum is a place of pilgrimage today, especially for those in love.

He was a consummate artiste, deeply learned in Sufi and domestic cultural lore. His verse are a treasure-trove of Punjabi phrases, idioms and sayings. His minute and realistic depiction of each detail of Punjabi life and the political situation in the 1700s, remains unique.

Waris Shah also sublimated his own unrequited love for a girl (Bhag Bhari) in writing romance. The amazing poetic mould that he worked within has not been bettered by any of his successors till date.

  • I recently discovered Waris Shah's Heer music and the story on Youtube and now I just can't get enough of it. It is so touching, such a lovely story it brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it, and I can spend hours listening. I have heard it sung by so many different singers; each one with a little bit different but just as moving. Does anyone know where I can find lyrics to this lovely poetry, preferably written in English text as I cannot read Urdu or Gurmukhi. Thanks
