Pathanay khan Sings - Khwaja Ghulm Farid

********************************
About Singer:

Pathanay Khan (real name: Ghulam Muhammad; 1926 - 2000) was a great Seraiki folk singer from Pakistan. He sang mostly Kafis or Ghazals, which were largely based on the Sufi poetry of Khwaja Ghulam Farid and Shah Hussain. He was born in 1926 in the village Basti Tambu Wali, situated in the heart of the Thal Desert, several miles from Kot Addu, (Punjab, Pakistan).

When he was only a few years old, his father and mother seprated. She took her son along and went to Kot Addu to stay with her father. When the boy fell seriously ill, his mother took him to a syed's house. The syed's wife looked after him, and advised his mother to change his name because it seemed too heavy for him. Her daughter commented that he looked like Pathana (in that region, a name symbolising love and valour), and so from that day onwards he was known as Pathanay Khan. His mother credited the new name for saving the child's life.

Life:

Pathanay Khan was very attached to his mother. She took good care of him and tried to educate him. However, he, like his father Khameesa Khan, spent his time wandering, contemplating and singing.
His nature lured him away from school after the seventh standard. He began singing, mostly the Kafis of Khwaja Ghulam Farid, the saint of Bahawalpur.

His first teacher was Baba Mir Khan, who taught him everything he knew. Singing alone did not earn him enough, so the young Pathanay Khan started collecting firewood for his mother, who used to make bread for the villagers.
This enabled the family to earn a very modest living. It is said that remembering those days brought tears to his eyes and he believed that it was his love for God, music, and Khawaja Farid that gave him strength to bear the burden.

Pathanay Khan adopted singing as a profession in earnest after his mother's death. His singing had the capacity to bewitch his listeners, and he could sing for hours on end.

He was given the President's Pride of Performance Award.

Death:

Pathanay Khan died after a protracted illness at his native town of Kot Addu on Thursday March 9, 2000. His funeral was largely attended by people including poets, intellectuals, lawyers, educationalists and district officials. He was laid to rest at his native graveyard in Kot Addu.

Bulahe Shah's poetry cuts your heart and and get to the depths of your soul. And your whole universe get desolves in the bleedings. Pathany Khan had special blessing to sing this Kalam, like no one else on this earth, can sing...

@abdulghafoor46 its the kalam of two poets and those were saints also from that time, im not sure asbout other name but one was Khawaja Ghulam Farid of Mothan kot/ but not bulleh shah.

[Panoramarts]

@Asif410 Either way, its literal meaning makes no addition to knowledge of religion. This singing can be taken as entertainment only and nothing should derived out of it.

[Asif410]

@Panoramarts you are probably a lil naive kid or maybe dumber then a stone poet in this kafi is only talking about God.

i regret the fact why sometime my utube channel attract stupids and low life mullah type extremists!!
