Re: Mustafa Qureshi
lol never knew that, couldn’t judge from his accent. Maybe even Sultan Rahi was not a Punjabi, and these guys are the legend of Punjabi movies.
Re: Mustafa Qureshi
Yes. He speak quite good Punjabi. His wife Rubina Qureshi was also a famous singer in 1970s who sang many songs in Saraiki and Punjabi

Mustafa Qureshi, wife receive accolades - DAWN.COM
**HYDERABAD, June 17: Rich tribute was paid to senior film actor Mustafa Qureshi and his equally acclaimed singer wife Rubeena Qureshi for their great contributions to film and music.
**
At an “evening with Mustafa Qureshi and Rubeena Qureshi” organised by Radio Pakistan at the Sindh Museum on Saturday night, speakers praised the new tradition of paying tribute to great people during their lifetime for their achievements.
A book on banjo player Bilawal Belgium was launched on the occasion. It has been co-authored by Radio Pakistan Hyderabad’s station director Naseer Mirza and Mohammad Aziz, a banjo player.
Speaker Sindh Assembly Nisar Khuhro said the artiste couple belonged to Sindh but their art was recognised the world over because art had no boundaries. They are Sindh’s pride.
He said Rubeena’s songs were appreciated also in foreign countries. Mustafa and Rubeena were lucky to have each other. He praised their contribution to performing arts and lauded Radio Pakistan for taking the initiative to introduce the new tradition.
Federal Minister Maula Bux Chandio said Sindh was passing through a critical phase and such gatherings provided some relief to people and helped mitigate their misery.
He said that Rubeena’s voice echoed all over the country. The couple were lucky to receive people’s love and appreciation, he said.
**Mehtab Akbar Rashidi said the credit went to Radio Pakistan to discover the couple and provide them a platform to exhibit their talent. Had there been no radio, people would not have known the couple, she said.
**
She said Mustafa Qureshi had no sign of arrogance and he loved people.
Poetess Sehar Imdad called for preserving songs of Rubeena Qureshi. Her lost songs should also be collected and preserved, she said.
Mustafa Qureshi expressed his gratitude to the gathering for showering so much love and honour on him and his wife and said that Sindh and music were inseparable.
**He said that while he worked mostly in Punjab but his soul lived in Sindh. Wealthy families of Sindh should invest in making Sindhi films, he said, adding that melody had the power to melt down even the callous of callous hearts.
**
He said such gatherings helped encourage artistes and the tradition must continue. He owed a great deal to Radio Pakistan which took him to fame, he said.
Artistes’ services were usually acknowledged after their death but it was a good tradition that they were receiving appreciation in their lives, he said. He called for increasing remuneration of Radio Pakistan’s artistes.
**Rubina Qureshi said her mother had always encouraged her and she wanted to see her earn a name in the field of art.
**
Director-General of Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation Murtaza Solangi said he was delighted to be among the artistes whom he liked to hear. Mustafa’s voice was a representative of Sindh and the songs of his wife were heard in every nook and corner of the province.
He said Radio Pakistan would soon launch its news alert service for mobile phones. The institution had improved a great deal and introduced many reforms, he said.
**Naseer Mirza said Mustafa and Rubeena were bright stars on the art horizon. She sang about 10,000 songs and the total recording time of her songs was more than 50 hours.
**
A CD with 11-hour recording of her songs had been prepared by Radio Pakistan, he said.
Re: Mustafa Qureshi
He is on “Mazakraat” program at the moment on Dunya news. After confirmation from you, and hear him speaking in Urdu gives a glimpse of his Sindhi accent. This is interesting for me.
Re: Mustafa Qureshi

He started his career from Radio Pakistan, Hyderabad and then started his film career and moved to Lahore. He even didn't work for PTV before becoming a superstar in Pakistani movies. He did worked in some Sindhi movies.

lols.. Now you are listening to him. earlier you just heard him
Re: Mustafa Qureshi
Talk to Mustafa Qureshi and you fail to forget that he was once the most famous villain of Pakistani cinema. Hailing from the land of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, Sehwan, he was born in 1935, and turned 65 this year.
He has been associated with films for the last 35 years. Having worked in radio Pakistan, Hyderabad, in the 60s he appeared in his first film, Lakon Mein Aik, as a Hindu villain living on the other side of the border.
It was a box-office hit. During this conversation he continued to light one cigarette after another. It seems he hasn’t read much articles on the hazards of chain smoking.
He hasn’t told us how he got into the film industry, so the next pertinent question is just that. “I had never thought of films as a career and wanted to join the armed forces.
**
When our soldiers were fighting the enemy, I was doing my bit in a Sindhi program Jaam-e-Jaam as a war propaganda in charge at radio Pakistan. Film star Saqi, who was a friend of mine, invited me to Lahore.
On his invitation I went there, where he introduced me to film director Raza Mir. That is how I came in the film world.â€

Re: Mustafa Qureshi
Nangra Nimani is a Sindhi song? She has a good voice.

Its Saraiki as spoken in Sindh. written by Sufi poet Sachal Sarmast who wrote in 7 languages
Re: Mustafa Qureshi

Since he is speaking Urdu at the moment, therefore easy to spot his accent in a few places. If he were speaking Punjabi, I am sure it would have become much more difficult to observe this. :p

Ok it seems to be a bit different, especially in this song.
Re: Mustafa Qureshi
He is over 75 and still very fit, mashaAllah.
Re: Mustafa Qureshi
Even I can’t translate the first line’s word ‘nangRa nimani da’.
Re: Mustafa Qureshi
Nimani is used to in Punjabi as well, something like a kid/new born or something.
Re: Mustafa Qureshi
Its same in Sindhi.. Nangra is a confusing word... May be its root is nang (naked).. 'Nangra nimani da' is confusing

you could be spot on, the kids in our past used to be mostly be without clothes especially during the summers. Maybe the "paalna' of a small kid is being emphasized.

jiven tiwen paalna says palana is verb here meaning 'jaise taise palna'. In short, without any planing as is the destiny of most of children in our part of world
