Hailing from Kashmir, Yawar Abdal has carved a unique niche as “The Kashmiri Sufi Rocker,” bringing Persian, Urdu, and Kashmiri poetry to new audiences. Inspired by his grandfather, he famously quit his day job a decade ago to pursue his passion. He shot to fame in 2017 with “Tamanna,” a single blending Ghalib, Mahjoor, and Khusrow, which garnered over 11 million YouTube views.

Speaking about the inspiration behind his new single, Yawar Abdal shares, “For me, ‘Intehaa’ delves into love in its purest, most infinite form, transcending physical, material, or spiritual distinctions. It’s about embracing the journey of love itself as the ultimate destination, as Allama Iqbal suggests, rather than seeking reciprocation or a finite end. This profound connection allows one to see the Creator in every creation, stripping away worldly filters and judgments. It’s a love so deep that it goes beyond all labels, where the act of loving and giving love becomes an infinite experience, connecting us to a higher truth.”
‘Intehaa’ by Yawar Abdal is available on all major streaming platforms.
