Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s music, rich with spiritual depth, continues to inspire global audiences, leaving an eternal legacy. Indian singer and politician Hans Raj Hans recently shared his profound admiration for the late maestro.
When journalist Farid Qureshi asked about his experience with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Hans passionately described him as a "darvesh," not merely a singer. "Such extraordinary individuals are born rarely," he remarked. "Blessed by the Almighty, Nusrat Sahib was a genius and incredibly humble."
Hans Raj Hans also expressed his deep connection with Lahore, praising its cultural and spiritual wealth. "Whenever I visit Lahore, I go to Data Sahib, Nanaka Sahib, and Pakpattan. No place matches Pakistan in Tasawwuf, art, or even food. From Phajja's paye to Lakshmi Chowk's halwa puris, the flavors are unparalleled," he said, adding a humorous note about his vegetarian lifestyle.
The acclaimed singer paid tribute to Pakistan’s legendary musicians, mentioning icons like Ustad Niazat, Salamat Ali, Tufail Niazi, Fateh Ali, Amanat Ali, Shaukat Ali, and Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi. "Pakistan has produced irreplaceable musical legends," he stated.
