In the early hours of 5 April, 1994 Ghulam Farid Sabri suffered a massive heart attack and passed away on the way to the hospital. Though he was 64 at that time, it was untimely for such a strong and active person who had much more left in his career. It was a shock to everyone as he was awake till 1 o’clock in the early hours, speaking normally with his family members. At around 1.30 AM he complained of chest pain and called upon his younger brother Maqbool Sabri to speak with him (though he had grown up children, he remembered and wished to speak with his beloved brother in his last minutes). He was immediately rushed to the hospital in a car, but on the way, passed away at around 2AM while his brother was holding his hands. Ghulam Farid Sabri, who was regarded as a saint for his spiritual and noble nature moved out of this world suddenly leaving everyone in sorrow. The love towards him was so much that people came from even distant towns to pay last respects to him. His funeral was attended by over 40,000 people who thronged to have a last look at him which was never the case with any other musician. So sudden was his death that everyone was left in a shock. More importantly it was his younger brother, Maqbool Sabri who lost a dear friend and companion. He always kept remembering his brother and as a mark of respect to him, continued his brother’s signature chant of ‘Allah’ in his brother’s own style in all his subsequent concerts and performances. With the death of Ghulam Farid Sabri the main pillar of the Sabri Brothers ensemble was fallen and it left a great void which could never be filled again with anyone else. Maqbool Sabri continued the legacy taking his brother’s place himself and giving away his place to the youngest brother Mehmood Sabri. At the same time he mentored Ghulam Farid Sabri’s son, Amjad Sabri by taking him to his concerts and guiding him to carve his own niche in the qawwali world.

The following text has been taken from: maqboolsabri.wordpress.com/ *Full credit goes to the author of the website, Flower of Eden. If you have time, do check out the website as it is a beautiful place dedicated to The Sabri Brothers and the author has put many hours of work into research and making the website.* _Ghulam Farid Sabri_ The lead vocalist and the longest serving leader of the ensemble, Ghulam Farid was born in Kalyana (now spelled Kaliyana) in East Punjab of British India (today in Charkhi Dadri district of Haryana, India, at a distance of about 130 km from Delhi) in 1930 as the second son in the family. Born in a traditional music family, he had music in his blood and the lineage of great singers was noticeable in his voice from an early age. Though based in Kalyana, the family had roots in Gwalior, which is a haven for Hindustani classical music. Ghulam Farid’s talent was obvious from childhood and his father, Inayat Hussain (also called Inayat Sen), who was also a qawwali singer, was his first teacher. His training was formally started in Gwalior after he was made to offer respects at the shrine of Ghaus Mohammed, who was a sixteenth century saint and who is said to be the trainer and mentor of the musical legend Mian Tansen. Ghulam Farid spent his growing years in both Kalyana and Gwalior as his father kept shuttling between these places. Ghulam Farid had the fortune to see and meet many great musicians in Gwalior. The inspiration and training received, coupled with his own hardwork perfected him into an ace musician. Inayat Sen always took his son along to different parts of India while giving qawwali performances. This was a customary act in the family for children learning music to expose them to the subtleties and nuances that make up a great artist. Watching his father’s performances inspired Ghulam Farid a lot and his interest for singing grew more and more. He also started learning harmonium from the age of twelve as an instrumentalist, with which he was just familiar while learning vocals. Ghulam Farid’s childhood was a happy one and he was well into all village sports besides learning music devotedly. He was a strong person and was regarded as a good wrestler and football player. At one time, he wanted to join the military as did most of the young men in his village, but that idea was shunned off by his mother who wanted him to continue the music legacy of the family. Ghulam Farid had no other choice than to obey his mother and concentrated completely on music. He gave his first solo performance in 1946 in Kalyana and later went on to join Ustad Kallan Khan’s qawwali party, which had a good reputation. He served as an accompanying vocalist there and at the same time he had the opportunity to learn the fine points of classical music. But things did not turn out well as the political situation in the country had its impact on their family too as it did on millions. During the partition of India in 1947, they moved to Pakistan and had to spend nearly one year in a refugee camp near Karachi and later on shifted to a populous area in Karachi where most of the refugees settled down. As the eldest surviving son in the family, he had to shoulder the responsibilities of the family, which consisted of his little brothers and sisters. During the initial two years he had to take up odd jobs and worked as a construction laborer, stone mason and even as a hawker which took much toll on his health during those hard days. But however difficult the times may be, he never gave up his passion for singing and always kept practicing, sometimes even forgoing the much needed rest. As he grew out of his teens, he attained a great energetic voice which stole the limelight when he started giving performances. There is also a famous account of his love for singing and how he conquered his disability for it. It is said that he became weak with continuous hard work to earn a living and the doctors pronounced that he could never sing again as his lungs had become very weak. But his indomitable dedication and hardwork made him to do Zikr (remembering and praising God) aloud a few hours every night for over two years and that made his lungs strong again to be able to sing. After about two years when things improved a little, he got married at the age of nineteen and had his own family also to take care thenceforth. He then took up work in a printing press which gave him some time to pursue his music interest. As Ustad Kallan Khan too had moved to Karachi, Ghulam Farid again joined his qawwali group and continued his singing which made him a known figure in local music circles. In addition to all this work, he sometimes worked in theatre and was a member of Karachi Drama Society. Acting was a hobby he loved and pursued when he was young. As an obedient son Ghulam Farid always followed whatever his father instructed him to do. When younger brother Maqbool Ahmed started his own qawwali group at a very young age and was doing well, his father told Ghulam Farid to join that group. Though fifteen years elder to his brother, he left Kallan Khan’s group (which was being regarded as one of the best qawwali groups) and joined his brother. The love and respect for elders in the family was such that Maqbool Ahmed withdrew and made Ghulam Farid the leader of his group, as he was the elder one and also the more experienced one. The brothers supported each other much and had a great coordination which was one of the reasons for their success besides their individual high quality rendering. Ghulam Farid Sabri had a powerful, magnificient voice which resonated to the tune of the harmonium played expertly with his magical fingers. His deep tones were the highlight of his rendition which mesmerized the audience and took them into a different world. Those deep tones complemented with the melodious verses of his younger brother who made the mesmerized audience to experience a pure bliss. With this heavenly vocal feast, together they used to get straight into the hearts of the listeners who could never forget that spiritual experience once they got into it. This feeling, typical to pure Sufi style is much different from other kinds of music, which, though beautiful are soon forgotten. Ghulam Farid Sabri’s another speciality was his chant of ‘Allah’ during their performances. It was in a heavy, peculiar tone that he chanted which echoed above the music that would be going on. There was no special timing to chant it, but he did it whenever he felt like chanting it and sometimes when the audience requested him to do so. Sometimes, he even used that chant to hide any slight mistake by any member in the team or sometimes as a signal to the team members when they did any mistake in reading the correct lines. But whatever be the intention, the audience were always intrigued by that chant and it became a signature of their band. In the starting years Ghulam Farid was the lead singer and Maqbool Ahmed acted as the supporting one. With the highly talented Maqbool Ahmed, who also composed most of their qawwalies, Ghulam Farid started sharing lead lines with him. By early seventies both of them played equal role by rendering the lines alternately. Those were the days when the voice of these brothers together was at the best and they gained such popularity as no other qawwal ever experienced earlier. Some lines, when they sang in unison resulted in the fusion of melody and musical mastery of the younger’s voice with energy and spirituality of the elder’s and culminated into an intoxicating rendering which was experienced as a trance-inducing feeling by the listeners. It is for this reason that their biggest hits are mostly those qawwalies which had lines they sang in unison. Ghulam Farid was a deeply religious person and spent much time in prayers and remembrance of God. His family took bayt (allegiance) of the Sabriyya order (a branch of the Chishti order) of Sufism circa 1958 because of which they got the surname Sabri. Later on, Ghulam Farid Sabri got very much inspired by his spiritual guide, Amber Shah Warsi. Under his influence Ghulam Farid Sabri took oath of allegiance of the Warsiyya order (another branch of Chishti order) along with his brother Maqbool Sabri in the mid 1970s. The name he adopted therafter was Alam Shah Warsi, though with public his former name remained. Ghulam Farid Sabri received many awards for his service to qawwali, both individually and collectively with brother Maqbool Sabri. He received the prestigious ‘Pride of Performance’ award given by the government of Pakistan collectively with his brother in 1978. By the mid 1980s, Ghulam Farid Sabri mostly took up the role of secondary vocalist, repeating the lines rendered by Maqbool Sabri and also started leading the chorus. By that time Maqbool Sabri’s voice attained much dulcetness and energy as he gained a few years and some weight. It could be said as his peak time and he used to fascinate the audience with his melodious rendition and interesting conversations. At the same time, Ghulam Farid Sabri used to infuse the much needed energy with his powerful voice and also took lead of the chorus.
