It was the 22nd of June 2016. Everyone was making preparation for iftaar when all of a sudden we heard something we all couldn’t believe!
“The universally loved and famous Qawwal; Amjad Sabri has been martyred!”
After the initial denial has set, people from all over the world were praying for the departed soul and pouring their love out on the social media for his family. It was truly a sad day! I didn’t meet a single person who wasn’t down that day. The entire country, sort of went into mourning!
The currently airing season of Coke Studio promised the return of Amjad Sabri one last time. And people were happy. They were delighted to hear that they would get to see him once more on the screen, singing something that they had heard before.

They were even willing to forget the Indo-Pak differences and Just enjoy the last performance in peace
If indian people think Pakistani people want war.No,we don’t care about war.The only thing we care about today is Amjad Sabri’s performance.

Heart-wrenching RIP Amjad Sabri <3 I guess all of us will be in tears#CokeStudio9 pic.twitter.com/Q0599Llgx6— Chikoo ✌️ (@umairhunk) September 23, 2016
I remember everyone (including myself) crying their hearts out when he appeared for a brief moment in “Raah-e-haq kay shaheedon” I didn’t know how anyone is going to control their emotions when the song finally aired.
And then it aired and people poured their hearts out!
been waiting for Amjad Sabri’s coke studio song since so long but now when it’s finally here I don’t want it, makes me so sad literally.
