Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1948-1997) born in Faisalabad Pakistan is considered to be the greatest Sufi singer in the Punjabi and Urdu language, and World’s greatest qawwali singer ever; he is often referred to as “Shahenshah-e-Qawwali” (the King of Kings of Qawwali). Described as the 4th greatest singer of all time by LA Weekly in 2016, he was known for his vocal abilities and could perform at a high level of intensity for several hours. As of 2001, he held the Guinness World Record for the “Most Qawwali Recordings”, having recorded over 125 qawwali albums before his death.

He is recognised as legends from Pakistan and his legacy continues in form of his recordings. Naan Staap is paying tribute to this legendary celebrity of Pakistan. The wording written in urdu on this cup is word play from his famous Qawali ‘Ye jo Halka Halka’.

The wording translates to :

Yeh jo Halka Halka Suroor hai = This little little pleasure

Yeh sab chai ka kasoor hai = is result of this chai
