I just lisstened to the lines he recorded and got mesmerized by his voice, voice of a pure person who must be genuine by heart and deeds. His sad demise is surely a great loss for his family and friends for some readers like me as well who looks for Urdu Poetry lovers like him. I'd like to dedicate a couplet by Mir Taqii Mir for Mr. Khalid Mujhe ghuroob na jaano jo mein ufaq pe nahi Bikhar gaya hoon mein andheron mei kehkashan ki tarah I was jst going through the comments posted for Mr. Khalid (May his sould rest in peace…Aameen) and I concluded that nobility will always remain.

For our honeymoon he took me to trekking in Northern Pakistan. It was quite scary for my family to say the least, as they didn’t hear from us for the duration of the trip. However, my family soon realized that Khalid was a very different husband in a very traditional sense of the word. Khalid believed in living life to the fullest and creating the means to enjoy life every moment. Money or no money he believed that attitude was more important. He showed me the meaning of life which I had never experienced even living in Toronto, Canada. We experienced life together in places where only few can experience in their life time. From living in Gilgit to eating friend fish in Jamshoro to Universal studios in USA to Vancouver, BC. We experienced it all. My family adored him and he provided guidance to all of my family with his quick wit and solutions. He had a solution for everything and didn’t hesitate to share it. Those who knew Khalid describe him as one in a million; it’s very hard to find such a well rounded person who excelled in every area of his life. Today I wish that Khalid was around to see Seenaan our son grow up to be man just like him. How I feel is hard to describe but it can be summarized by this poem which I came across the other day… I don't know how to feel it's all locked up inside, the emptyness is waking the tears are running dry. Your the one who held me gave comfort when things went wrong, what do i do without you I feel my faith is gone. My heart just doesnt realise that you are really gone. A loss that came so suddenly but will last my whole life long. Our time just meant so much too me I know it allways will the memories locked inside of me forever to hold on too You told me that we'd be, together forever more partof eachothers lives but now the door is closed. Never too be opened kept locked on both sides now Although you may have gone away your spirit will forever stay Sue. For my husband Khalid “Banjara” Chowdry I loved your integrity, for the honorable path you always took against all odds. I loved your strength for you were the wind below my wings. I loved your free spirit for the adventures and excitement you brought to my life. And more importantly, I loved your love, for it makes me strive to become the best woman, and a mother to our lovely son Seenaan. With love always, your wife Sabrina.

I don’t know how to feel
it’s all locked up inside,
the emptyness is waking
the tears are running dry.
Your the one who held me
gave comfort when things went wrong,
what do i do without you
I feel my faith is gone.
My heart just doesnt realise
that you are really gone.
A loss that came so suddenly
but will last my whole life long.
Our time just meant so much too me
I know it allways will
the memories locked inside of me
forever to hold on too
You told me that we’d be,
together forever more
partof eachothers lives
but now the door is closed.
Never too be opened
kept locked on both sides now
Although you may have gone away
your spirit will forever stay
Sue.

I always wish, I could be more like him. He will always be in our memories. He left a lasting impression on most of the people, he came across. Khalid was definitely a unique individual.

As I was traveling in December, I did not follow the SOACH postings. A few days before, from Zulfiqar's posting regarding SoachCAST, I come to know that Banjara is not with us anymore. He was blessed with a passionate voice and his poems always touched me. I listened to his poems several times, especially Ibn-e-Insha's poem. Further, I feel bad that I never appreciated his postings, while he was alive. It is strange that there are so many "good" things we want to do but they remain in queue. Life is very precious, indeed. I pray that Allah (SWT) may reward him high ranks in paradise (ameen). Sajid Although I never met Khalid Banjara, the news of his death was quite shocking for me.
