This is my second attempt at the same qawwali because my first attempt was full of novice flaws. I was still learning how this YouTube thing worked :)
If anyone has EVER heard of Sabri Brothers, they probably heard this qawwali. At the moment in July of 2020, this qawwali in multiple YouTube videos has over 480 Million views. I think it's safe to say, it's popular.
Here's what many people don't know about this qawwali. It's written primarily by a poet named Purnam Allahabadi. Various other poetry verses were added to it, like with so many other qawwali. Namely, naat poetry by Muzaffar Warsi, Muhammad Jaan Mashhadi, Hazrat Bedam Warsi, Hazrat Maulana Jaami, Hazrat Imaam Zainul Abideen, and a few others make this one qawwali a mixture of Purbi, Brij Bhasha, Hindi, Urdu, Farsi, and Arabic.
I would also like to formally thank Quaseem Siddiqi for making my research so easy on this qawwali. Please take a look at a very resourceful page where lots of the translation comes from https://qr.ae/pNYsth
