Mian Dad Khan
Mian Dad Khan (1935-1985) born in Jalandhar, remained attached throughout his life, with radio Pakistan, Multan and thus, served the art of qawwali and worked hard for its promotion. He also remained associated with the Pakistan television from 1974 to 1985.
The kafi of Baba Ghulam Fareed, “sanwal mod muharan” was one of his famous qawwalis. Like his father, he was famous for singing in upper register and being the qawwal of masses, he kept on including folklores such as sohni mahinwaal, sassi punnu, heer ranjha, and laila majnun in his qawwalis. EMI made numerous discs of his qawwalis and at last, in 1985 this prodigy, a genius, left the scene of qawwali because of an unexpected death (Private publication).
The sons of Mian Dad Khan and the younger brother Akram Khan are carrying the legacy of their forefathers. The sons of Mian Dad Khan have made a considerable presence in the qawwali scene of Pakistan. Badar Mian Dad (1962-2007), who was born in Pakpattan, made a party with his brothers.
Akram Hafiz Dad Khan
After Partition, the family of Din Muhammad settled in Pakpattan, his brother Ahmad Din Khan was patronized by the diwaan Qutbuddin, who was Sajjada Nasheen of Pakpattan. Ahmad Din Khan died in 1948 leaving his family under diwaan Qutbuddin. The other branch of family represented by Mubarak Ali and Fateh Ali got settled in Faisalabad, Pakistan.
Tracing recent history of his family, Akram Hafeez Khan (1942-) told that his grandfather Misri Khan had three sons, namely, Umar Din known as Ajab Khan (a title given to him for his ability to sustain his voice on a note for an extraordinary length of time), Din Muhammad Khan and Ahmad Din Khan.
Taught by their father, and being a follower of Chishti Sabri order, these three brothers formed a qawwal party in Jalandhar and Din Muhammad was the main vocalist. Din Muhammad famous for combining Sufi and folk tradition of singing (known as doaaba ang ki qawwali; mostly rendered in the upper register) and therefore was quite popular in masses. He died in 1935 at the age of 50 years.
The tradition of qawwali was continued by the sons of his younger brother Ahmad Din Khan. Amongst the four sons, Miandad Khan, who was born on the day Din Muhammad died became the main vocalist of the qawwal party of four brothers. Interestingly, as Ahmad Din Khan died in 1948 and Mian Dad Khan was barely in his teens, he and his younger brothers leaned qawwali from their mother, Barkat Bibi. Akram Khan told that she taught them to play harmonium and tabla which she leaned from Misri Khan.
Din Muhammad Khan
The family of Din Muhammad aka Dina Qawwal (1885-1935) born in Jalandhar, links to the ancestors of Mubarak Ali and Fateh Ali Qawwal. These two families are the fifth generation of two brothers Sahab Dad Khan and Khalaq Dad Khan, who were the sons of Saadat Dad Khan and were renowned qawwals of their time known to be inspired by Khusro family famous as qawwal bachon ka gharana. The grandfather of Saadat Dad Khan was Muhammad Sharif Khan. It was the son of Haji Maroof Khan, who migrated from Ghazni to Basti Sheikhan Wali, Jalandhar, India nearly six hundred years ago. The family produced many qawwals of notable stature, such as, Baray Miandad Khan, Itar Dad Khan, Peer Dad Khan, Jhando Khan, Ali Bakhsh Khan and Din Muhammad. Amongst these, Din Muhammad achieved great fame in India and is one of the most popular of the per-partition qawwals.
