Qawwalo'n ke Qisse-12 Farid Ayaz Qawwal ka Qissa

He once narrated a story of a Legendary Qawwal in Pakpattan, named Rafiq Mundriwale. Reportedly he was arrogant, even at the sacred courtyard of Baba Fariduddin Ganj-e-Shakar he shouted, ‘Aaj main aisa kalam parhun'ga, jo Baba Farid ne bhi nahin sune honge.’ Some unseen force had repelled him from the Dargah compound. He became paralytic after this incident & couldn’t sing any more.
