Sufi music in Pakistan

Sufi music in Pakistan is a spiritual tradition that seeks to deepen the connection between the individual and the divine. Rooted in Sufism, it features soulful singing, poetry, and often rhythmic instruments like the dhol. The lyrics typically praise God and saints, emphasizing love, devotion, and spiritual ascent. Famous for its lively, meditative, and emotionally expressive performances, Sufi music is performed at shrines (dargahs) and festivals, fostering community and spiritual unity. It is both a form of worship and cultural heritage, blending poetic artistry with profound spiritual resonance.
