Lahore: It has been 28 years since Ghulam Farid Sabri, the teacher who brought the art of Qawwali to its peak in Pakistan, but his mesmerizing words still linger in our hearts.
Ghulam Farid Sabri celebrated the iron of his art all over the world by singing verses like "Bhar Do Jhooli Meri Ya Muhammad", "I have no one but you". He was also awarded several international awards including the Presidential Award for Excellence by the Government of Pakistan in 1978.
Born in 1930 in the Indian state of East Punjab, he received his formal training in Qawwali from his father Inayat Sabri. The 70's and 80's were the golden age of their rise.
He proved his mettle all over the world by singing "Bhar Do Jhooli Meri Ya Muhammad". Later, Ghulam Farid Sabri and his brother Maqbool Sabri started reciting verses in the form of a couple. For ten years, they had no equal.
Ghulam Farid Sabri joined Khaliq Haqeeqi on April 5, 1994 due to cardiac arrest but his art is still alive in the hearts of music fans.
