Melodious voices of 11-year-old Ayaan Sajjad and 17-year-old Najam Saqib have once again left the hearts of song lovers touched as they recited the  ‘Mazkoora’ poem of famous 19th-century Kashmiri Sufi poet Shams Faqir in recent times in Jammu and Kashmir.

The popularity of this song is due to its universal message as well as the voice of Ayaan Sajjad, which draws every listener towards him. Saqib has given it a new twist by adding hip-hop based on the theme, reports ANI.

Ayan is from  Anantnag District of South Kashmir.

Ayan told ANI that after this song that made him so popular, now singing has become his passion which he wants to take forward, but Ayan said that he will also continue his education. And his aim is to become an IAS officer.

Saqib, 17, said that the rap included in Mazkoora song has been recorded by him.

“Writing such a rap in a Sufi song was a big challenge for me, for which I had to closely study the Islamic events described in the song,” he told ANI.
