The song has been composed and sung by Shafi Mohammad Faqir, a deeply refined Sufi singer from Umarkot in Sindh, Pakistan. Shafi sahab sings in a style that is highly classical yet distinctly folk, bringing home the voices of Kabir and several Sufi poets in Sindhi, Punjabi, Urdu, Siraiki and other languages. He belongs to the deeply musical Manghaniar community that inhabits both sides of the border between India and Pakistan. Contact him at [phone] & [phone] or email his son Roshan at [e-mail].
We first met Shafi sahab when we crossed the border in search of Kabir in Pakistan in the year 2006. This deeply moving encounter was later edited into the film Had Anhad, which can be viewed at • 'Meeting Shafi Mohamme...
Three years later, we invited Shafi sahab to the Festival of Kabir in Bangalore, organized by the Kabir Project, Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology along with several other partner organizations in Bangalore in February 2009. It brought together singers from India and Pakistan in an immersive week-long event that included film screenings, live music concerts and talks.

Sometimes I think how blessed we are to have born in the Indian peninsula, how rich culturally we were or rather we are, but it makes me sad to see all around us how less we all are aware about the culture we are born into, Bhakti, Sufism were the true essence of our culture but how ignorant we all are in understanding that.
