Data Hajweri Tanoo Lakhan

\"Data Hajweri Tanoo Lakhan\" is a qawwali composition performed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The track appears as the second entry on Dam Dam Ali Ali, Vol. 9, a studio album released on January 1, 1991 under the label Oriental Star Agencies Ltd. The recording spans 8 minutes and 32 seconds and was originally distributed in physical formats before becoming available on digital media platforms.

The album belongs to the Dam Dam Ali Ali series, which features traditional Sufi qawwali repertoire interpreted by Khan and his ensemble. The track title references Hazrat Data Ganj Bakhsh, the revered 11th-century Sufi saint of Lahore, whose poetic and spiritual legacy remains central to South Asian devotional music. Khan’s rendition employs the khayal-influenced vocal improvisations characteristic of his style, accompanied by harmonium, tabla, and chorus responses.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan recorded the album in the late 1980s or early 1990s, though precise session details remain undocumented. Oriental Star Agencies Ltd., a UK-based label specializing in South Asian music, produced the release as part of a broader catalog dedicated to Khan’s work. The track exemplifies the fusion of classical raga structures with the rhythmic and lyrical conventions of qawwali, a genre Khan popularized globally during his career.

No official music videos or alternate versions of \"Data Hajweri Tanoo Lakhan\" from this release are verified. The album’s liner notes, where available, typically credit Khan as the primary composer and performer, with contributions from his longstanding accompanists, including Faruq Fateh Ali Khan and Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan in supporting vocals. The release date aligns with Khan’s prolific output in the early 1990s, a period marked by international collaborations and expanded visibility for qawwali music.
