Mera Data Vol 5 — Qari Saeed Chishti Qawwal Qawwali MP3
Mera Data — "my Data" or "my benefactor" — refers specifically to Data Ganj Bakhsh, the 11th-century sufi saint Ali Hujwiri whose dargah in Lahore is one of the most significant pilgrimage sites in Pakistan. Ganj Bakhsh means "treasury bestower" — the one who gives from the treasury of divine grace. The fifth volume of this series documents continued engagement with the devotional tradition associated with this shrine.
Data Darbar and Its Significance
Data Darbar in Lahore is one of the oldest shrines in Pakistan — the dargah was established during Ali Hujwiri's own lifetime in the 11th century, making it a millennium-old site of continuous devotional practice. The qawwali performed there has been shaped by that long history and by the specific Chishti and other sufi orders associated with the shrine. Qari Saeed Chishti Qawwal's recordings in this tradition carry the institutional weight of that lineage.
iRulz has enormously arranged a huge collection of his famous qawwali. He is the unforgettable music icon who gave new meanings to the traditional form within the Chishti tradition. Night Song, The Best of Nusrat Fatheh Ali Khan Vol 1 and Ghous Muhammad Nasir represent different angles on the Data Darbar and shrine qawwali tradition.
