The primary one that they repeatedly return to, of course, is “Tajdar-e-Haram” by Purnam Allahabadi. Excerpts from quiet a few naats are recited by the Sabri Brothers. This qawwali would fall under the category of naat (praise of the prophet Muhammad), since it serves as a plea to Muhammad to bestow his mercy on the needy. It is important to note, however, that the long version by the Sabri Brothers that is translated here includes many interesting elements, in multiple languages, from several authors. The titular Urdu poem was written by Purnam Allahabadi (-2009), a prolific Urdu poet, who moved to Pakistan from Allahabad, India after the 1947 partition. “Tajdar-e-Haram” is a popular qawwali most famously performed by the late Sabri Brothers, Ghulam Farid Sabri (1930-1994) and Maqbool Ahmed Sabri (1945-2011), from Pakistan.
