Iqbal Bahu Passes Away

Iqbal Bahu needs no introduction to Pakistanis. He was well known for singing Hazrat Sultan Bahu's kalams on PTV and Radio Pakistan. He was awarded Tamgha-i-Imtiaz in 2008. Sadly Bahu died of a cardiac arrest yesterday. He was 68.



alif allah chambe di booti,
merey murshid man wich laaee hoo

nafee asbaat da pane milia,
har ragey harjaae hoo.

andar booti mushk machaya,
jaan phullan te aae hoo

jeeve murshid kaamil bahu,
jain eh booti laee hoo

baghdaad sheher di kiya nishaaNi
ucchiya.n lammiya.n cheeraa.n hu

ae tan man mera purze purze
jyu.n darzi diya.n leera.n hu

aena leera.n di gal qafni paa ke
ralsaa.n sang fakeera.n hu

baghdaad sheher de tukde mangsaaN
te mein karsaa.n meera.n meera.n hu

tasbih phiri dil na phirya
ki karna tasbih phar ke hu

ilm parheyaa te adab na sikheya
ke lena ilm parh kay hu

~ hazrat sultan bahu
