Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan again displays his musical inventiveness blending the popular Qawwali (devotional Sufi) form with elements of the highly classical vocal tradition known as khyal (Persian for imagination), a style once enjoyed only by the elite. This musical fusion draws on a range of lyrical material, appealing to Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and even atheists.
