Early life and career
[edit]Sheikh Muhammad Sadiq (S. M. Sadiq) was born in Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. He studied only up to the 4th grade in a primary school.[2] In an interview with Dr. Farah in a PTV morning show, he described his first meeting with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He narrates that he was only 14 years old when he went to Jhang main bazar with a piece of poetry narrating a 'dastan' (story). When he reached the place where Nusrat used to practice his music, his secretary introduced him to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He read Sadiq's poetry and said, "you have a rare talent but I do not sing stories; write for me something in Punjabi, preferably a spiritual qawwali." Sadiq narrates that he wrote Othe amlaan dey honay ney nabede and Ainwen Bol Na Banere Utte Kanwan, two of Nusrat's most famous qawwalis.
