He taught many students around the world and played with top ustaads in Pakistan including the legendary Mehdi Hussan and Ustaad , the leng. Ustaad ji was the lead voilinest at the Radio Karchi, leading a section of 12 voilnist. He is one of the humble and gentle human being I have ever met. I leatn from Ustaad Ji for almost 10 years and much of ability to notate while I sing without the harmonium comes from him. There are many musical ingreadinet I leant from Ustaad ji and much of this is what I teach students to sing light folk and Ghazel and Raga Bandish.

I am indebted to Ustaad ji and I wish him th best of health.
