He won not only awards but also the love of Pakistani people by presenting national songs and specially the “Jag Utha Hai Sara Watan” in 1965 was a great source of aspiration for the people of Pakistan. He represented Pakistan abroad especially in India in 1982 at the Asian Games in New Delhi. He will remain alive through his music. His death is a great loss to the art world. May Allah bless his soul with eternal peace and give courage to the bereaved family to bear this loss.
