न मनसब न दौलत न जुर चाहिए – Kaloo Quawal (c. 1933)

This transfer is by request from a patient viewer in Pakistan. 🙏 Peace to you my friend. I hope you enjoy this record.

Kaloo Qawwal was an early Indian qawwali – a singer of Islamic devotional music in the mystical Sufic tradition. He recorded extensively in the 1930s and also performed on Indian radio stations and in large live concerts.

My technology-assisted translation of the title is “Neither position nor wealth nor power is needed.” If a native speaker has a better translation, please comment below.

Released as His Master’s Voice N.4115 (Matrix OE. 80)
