But in Hardoi, traveling with my Nani ji i knew the words- peer baba, mazar, dargah, Tazia, jind peer, chaader, haj, aughad, even before i entered school in first class. Later in life as i grew up the word became much more bigger. It must be in some textbook of History i think. I don’t remember, when i heard the word sufi for the first time. And one who utters or sings is referred to as qawwal, and what he sings is called qawwali? or kawwali for me. That was the form of kawwali i grew up with listening. (i could never spell “qawwali” What is harm? any way?), But fact is that it is linked with Qaul,(kaul) कौल the utterance of the word for almighty or to speak. With his peculiar style he used to introduce and request featured artist to show few elements of arts. Though it was a black&whi te TV but the sounds made it full of colors. Instantly i watched whole episode telecasted from Lucknow Doordarshan. When i heard Bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki sung by Respected Shri Habib Painter shaheb, i was spell bound.
