Early life and career
Early life and career
Purnam Allahabadi was born in Allahabad, then part of British India. Following the partition of India in 1947 and the creation of Pakistan, he migrated with his family to Karachi, Pakistan, where he spent his early years. He later moved to Lahore due to family circumstances and lived in modest conditions in a single-room flat in the Anarkali Bazaar area. Despite leading a largely reclusive life, Allahabadi became known for his Urdu poetry, particularly naats, hamds, and qawwalis. His notable works include the qawwali's "Bhar Do Jholi Meri Ya Muhammad" and "O Sharabi Chhod De Peena", both composed and sung by the Sabri Brothers. Allahabadi also wrote the qawwali "Mast Nazron Se Allah Bachaye" and the ghazal "Tumhe Dillagi Bhool Jani Padegi", both of which were originally composed and sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
