But the affair was cut short after an unsuccessful attempt.Īsad Amanat Ali was also famed for his 'soz-o-salam' recitations in Urdu describing the events of Karbala during Ashura in Muharram, and appeared on many radio and television specials about Karbala over the years before his death. Other than music and the family name, Asad inherited from his father a passion to act in films. Ibn-e-Insha who wrote it, Amanat Ali and Asad Amanat who sang it - all died relatively young. Quite often his concert would round off with 'Insha'a Jee utho, abb cooch karo' (Get up O Insha! It's time to leave the world) - a song that finds another ironic reference in Asad's death.

He started his musical career performing thumri and then went on to record some of his most popular Punjabi numbers and ghazals, such as umra lagian, zara zara, kal chaudwin ki raat, and ghar wapas jab. He joined a private institution however and began singing professionally after completing his F.A.

He had also been interested in academics and often said if not a singer, he would love to be a pilot. When he was 10 years old Asad recorded his first song, which featured on his grandfather’s debut album.
