Apparently this story is about a poet who wrote wonderful songs and this story is being told on the occasion of his anniversary, but in reality it is the story of a person who also added liver blood to his songs and Made a unique place in history.
The world remembers this songwriter-poet, who made history his own, by the name of Bari Nizami, but does not know the person whose name was Sheikh Saghir Chishti before Bari Nizami.
Today, in the story written for the history pages, we will write about those aspects of the art and personality of Bari Nizami, which are less familiar to music fans and fans of Bari Nizami.
Sheikh Sagheer’s grandfather, Sheikh Mahi, belonged to Chak No. 5 of Kabirwala, where he was allotted agricultural land by the British Government.
In Kabirwala, this settlement is still called by the name of ‘Mahi Di Kisi’. Bari Nizami’s father Ghulam Muhammad was also born in this town.
According to essayist Izhar Ahmad Gulzar, ‘There his family was involved in farming and cotton business.
Sheikh Ghulam Muhammad separated from his father and entered into business with Chaudhry Shah Muhammad Aziz, the owner of the famous newspaper “Daily Business Report” in Faisalabad.
The Toba Thuk Singh family settled in Mohalla Islamnagar, where on the night of December 26, 1946, Bari Nizami opened his eyes at Sheikh Ghulam Muhammad’s house. The child was named Sheikh Saghir Chishti on Nanhyal’s wish.
When he was two years old, the family moved to Gojra for business purposes. At the age of five, Bari Nizami was admitted to MB Primary School in Gojra.
After primary school, he was sent to MB High School in Gojra for middle and higher education, from where he passed his matriculation examination in 1963.
At the same time, the family’s economic situation worsened, so the grandfather engaged him in business, but he realized that he was not interested in the bad system.
The family expanded the business and set up a factory in Chichiwatani.
For some time, Bari Nizami was engaged in business and the family members were also happy that the young man took over the business, but soon they faced disappointment.
He realized that the evil system is not working and he is not paying attention to the work.
The family felt that he had become a traveler to a world where silence, sadness and despair were clearly written on the foreheads of the visitors.
When the search was made, it was found that the evil Nizami has been captured by the lust of a Haseena and that Haseena is also the daughter of a police officer.
Sayane says love and musk cannot be hidden, so this love of Bad Nizami could not be hidden and like the family of Bad Nizami, this Hasina’s father also got to know.
The woman’s father sent his daughter to the village and sought to teach the bad Nizami a lesson.
Bad Nizami’s parents saw the loss of business from Chichawatani and came to Gujra with the remaining goods and Bad Nizami.
The family suffered further economic hardship and they excused themselves from the bad system for more business.

The family once again migrated for economic prosperity and shifted to Faisalabad.
Bad Nizami had to start a new life here, Faisalabad had a new society, there were new faces, there were new relationships, where could anyone help.
Both the state of hijr and the grief of employment had kept the bad system in check. Bought a bicycle and tied a bundle of cloth on it and started peddling cloth in rural areas.
Even the fatigue of the whole day would not be the cause of liberation from the memories of the beloved for the bad system in the evening.
One day in a village there was a sound of selling cloth at the door, so the same fairy face recognized her beloved from the doorway and opened the door and started visiting her beloved madly.
The fire of Hijr had scorched both of them, they faced each other but once again the wall of time stood between them. Bad Nizami started spending most of his time in this village.
Repeated unsuccessful meetings attracted the attention of the family and thus this Hasina committed suicide, unable to bear the pressure of her parents.
This accident created a storm for this sensitive person and day by day Bad Nizami’s health started to deteriorate.
Thus, one day Bad Nizami also followed in the footsteps of his beloved and practically took steps to end his life.
But perhaps nature had something else in mind. She wanted to do something in this accident that would make the evil system take a new form.
After staying in the hospital for a few days, his condition improved and he changed his name to ‘Sheikh Sagheer Bari’ after the letters of his wife’s name.
One day the state of health was such that some poems were composed. Friends liked listening and said you can write poetry, so keep writing poetry.
Sheikh Sagheer believed in evil spiritual connections. Devoted to his mentor Syed Amanat Ali Shah Nizami of Mughalpura, Har Nizami also made it a part of his name. Thus, from Shaykh Sagheer, he became a bad system.
It was probably in 1965 that a gathering was held in Faisalabad which was presided over by the eminent Punjabi poet Pir Fazal Gujarati. 18-year-old youth Bri Nizami also appeared in this mushaira with his first Punjabi ghazal.
As soon as he read the ghazal, the audience was amazed that such a lively and glorious ghazal was written by this young man that the entire gathering was stunned. Sahib Sadr admired Bari Nizami so much that he became a disciple of Pir Fazal Gujarati.
Hijra status, social conditions and family labor background made Bari Nizami a revolutionary and labor poet.
On the domestic political scene from above Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto The fascinating personality of Sahar Angir was emerging whose political ideology of ‘bread, cloth and house’ had captivated the common man.
So a revolutionary poet like Bari Nizami also fell in love with Bhutto and joined the People’s Party Faisalabad and started honing his skills as an active member of the district committee.
Bad Nizami used to go to public meetings and processions and warmed their atmosphere with his revolutionary poetry.
Then there came a time when the meetings of the People’s Party and the poetry of Bad Nizami became inseparable.
The people he used to go to the meetings flocked to the meetings to listen to his poems. .
This selfless and heartbroken poet eventually left the People’s Party in displeasure, and continued his journey of revolutionary poetry.
Seeing the internal situation of the People’s Party, he wrote a poem against Bhutto Sahib and started reading it in public places.
When the leadership’s ears were provoked by the mafia, seven cases were registered against the evil system and he also had to bear the hardships of imprisonment.
When the era of Zia-ul-Haq came, he rejected Zia’s dictatorship-style democracy and fought against the dictatorship with his pen and poetry. 11 cases were registered against him during Zia-ul-Haq’s tenure as well.
The true writer within him maintained his boldness and Benazir Bhutto Raised the voice of right during the reign of During this period also, six cases were registered against him.
Even more than two dozen cases could not cause a slippage in his independence. Struggling with their deteriorating economic conditions and hostile political forces at the local level, the iron man joined a trade union and played an active role.
Later he established the Chhabri Union in Faisalabad and continued to fight for the rights of workers as its president.
In 1990, he joined the PML-N on the invitation of Chaudhry Sher Ali and provincial minister Qayyum Awan.
Bari Nizami also entered the field of journalism and got the declaration of the weekly Bari Nizami approved, but could not publish the newspaper due to lack of financial comfort.
Bad Nizami’s life wanted to take another turn, so one day he met Chaudhry Rehmat, the owner of Rehmat Gramo Phone House in Aminpura Bazar.
Chaudhry Rehmat had migrated from Amritsar and settled in Faisalabad and started a business of audio cassettes in those days.
Rehmat Gramo Phone House had started recording two musicians and singers from across Punjab. Cassettes of new singers were recorded and produced.
He convinced Bari Nizami to get out of this revolution and revolutionary poetry considering the future of himself and his children and leave the resistance and write poetry and qawwali. He said, ‘You just write, we will do Goa Daya with the singers.’
In those days, Saber Ali Khan, the head of Amritsar’s well-known musician family, also used to visit Rehmat Gramo Phone House from Lahore sometimes.
So Bari Nizami met him and Bari Nizami gave him his Kalam to set the tunes.
Sabir Ali Khan told Nachiz in an interview that one day when I went to Faisalabad from Lahore, a seat was kept in the local hotel in honor of Badi Nizami and me. I presented some words of evil system there.
When the ceremony was over, Chaudhry Rehmat came to me with a Saraiki youth and said that we want to record the cassette of this youth, you should compose new lyrics and tunes for them.
I made them record five songs written by Bri Nizami in one night. Those songs were:
The camels will leave
Isakhel is not far away
Nights of sleepless nights
Way Bol Sanol.
You are the pride of the homelands
These five songs gave this young man and Bad Nizami the fame that both their names started ringing. This cassette made the young man Attaullah Isa Khelvi.
After that, Bari Nizami created such masterpieces that whatever he wrote became popular.
‘Dum Mast Qalandar Mast Mast’ added four more moons to his fame. Dozens of such singers entered the field who sang the words of Bad Nizami and reached the heights of fame.
Singers who sang songs written by him earned crores of rupees, but this poet could not change the unprecedented situation. Their sons and daughters were deprived of higher education and continued to work as labourers.
Bad Nizami got an eye infection in his late life. Couldn’t get treatment in time. Diseases increased. Back pain and TB took their toll.
Several diseases left him paralyzed and his lower body stopped working. Despite his illness, he continued to create.
Songwriting and grief were so entangled with work that he could not publish any of his poetry collections in his lifetime.
After his death, Jameel Siraj, a poet and journalist friend of Faisalabad, expressed his love and published his collection of Punjabi poetry under the name of Kalam Qadran, but that too is rare now.
Most of the words of Bad Nizami are Attaullah Isa Khelvi and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan has sung
Songs for Nusrat:
Mast Qalandar Mast Mast
Talk about a drink
Donations from Kamali Wale Muhammad
The stars pass by at night
Pubs are forgotten
It’s been bad for a few days
What happened to the heart that died, my dear?
In honor of this dervish poet, Iqbal Stadium Chowk Kobri Nizami is called Bada Nizami Chowk in Faisalabad’s Bada Cemetery. Apart from this, Bad Nizami Society has also been established in his name.
The quality of this dervish person was that even though he was a poet of Punjabi, Attaullah Khan used to say to Isa Khelvi that it would be a matter of happiness for me to sing as much as I can change my words into Saraiki.
The singing of Nusrat Fateh Ali and Atta Allah was indebted to their poetry and the reason for their fame was also the poetry of Bari Nizami.
The sun of Bad Nizami’s life, steadfast in all vicissitudes, sank into the distant horizon on May 14.
The wise say that the bad system is the disease of love.
