Abdullah Niazi Qawwal (born 1960) (Urdu: عبداللہ نیازی قوال) is a Pakistani Qawwal. He belongs to the Qawwal Bachchon Ka Gharana of Dehli. He is the eldest son of Manzoor Niazi Qawwal. Abdullah Niazi was one of the Principal Qawwals in Manzoor Niazi Qawwal's party and after the death of Manzoor Niazi Qawwal, he led a Qawwal Group formed with his brothers. In 2015, he branched out with his sons supporting him. His performance style is steeped in Amir Khusro's Kalaam (verses) and has a rigorous classicism. Abdullah Niazi carries the qawwali performance with a command and virtuosity rarely found in contemporary Qawwals capturing Khusro's poetry and its musical emotionality in all its subtlety and intensity. Abdullah Niazi Qawwal performs various genres of qawwali music such as Thumri, Khayal, Tarana, Sufism, and Classical. His grandfather was Mir Qutub Bukhsh who was awarded the title of Tanras Khan by the last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar. Tanras Khan was also the tutor in music and court musician of this emperor.
