nan ba shpa zama da yaar pa kam makaan vi
jalwager ba pa kam ghat pa kam dukaan vi
shermawale ba ye husan kam terkan vi
kam dukan baye da khule da duuro kham vi
pa deva ba ye da makh soke patangaan vi
hama khwa ba ye pakaan ka na pakaan vi

wale nashve la de ghama zama dela
che de wavre da da yaar da khle badala..

pa kat-kat ba khandedale vi ka navi
datla hem be ghuledali vi ka navi
her apat ba ye sandale vi ka navi
cha ba haal the pukhtedale vi ka navi
kat puzey ba mundale vi ka navi
ghuncha-bar ba muskedale vi ka naqvi

neshta ma ghunde bepat soke pa yaarey ke
che humdam na shwem da yaar pa da khwarey ke..

pa manzal ba ye saba gora soke mra di
na pohegam che badzad di ka ba ghla di
pa sa shaan ba shekast sta de heir pa zrha vi
da naghme ba ye da zrha naghma pa khla vi
da qadam ba ye pa khla ka makh pa vla vi
wrande kare ba ye cha khawre da pla vi

sazawaar da kkalq setam da her peghore yem
che me yaar pa safer tale za pa kore yem..

ya da yaara sara tale pa safer ve
pa her zay me ghawarha-wale pe vazar ve
ya ye marh da beltana da ghama zer ve
ya pa dwaro stergo tek rhund me nazer ve
ka dana ke de hegez da muntazer ve
khud ba khud me zaan wahale pa khanjer ve

hase pate shwem ter yaar pure makh tore
pa jerga da asheqano ke kuz gore..

sazawar da khalq setam da her peghore ye..
che me yaar pa safer tale za pa kore yem..

Born in 1956 at Takkar village (Thakt Bahi) Mardan, he passed his metric examination from his village school and did his F.Sc. from Government College Mardan. He completed his graduation in Mechanical Engineering from University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar. Aside from this he has also attended special courses in U.K and Canada. His University life provided him more chances to exhibit his hidden talent. Initially he used to present his skills before his friends, in different musical programme in the university. But it was in 1982 when Yar Muhammad Maghmum, a professor at the historic Edward College Peshawar, wanted to celebrate an evening with the great legendry and dynamic philosopher Ghani Khan, but was unable to find a singer who was ready to meet the challenge of putting Ghani’s poetry in music. When Takkar became aware of the situation, he agreed to sing in that programme. Some people also recorded this programme on audio cassette, which got so prominence that even the music stores started selling it on regular basis. In this way, his debut album (solely based on Ghani khan’s poetry) touched the market, so incidentally. It was in those days when a programs for youths named “Zalmey Kool” (Young Generation) used to broadcast from the Radio Pakistan. Takkar for the first time not only played different instruments but also sang two ghazals in that Programs. After that, he also had the opportunity to record a programs at the Peshawar Center of Pakistan Television Vision (PTV). In 1984, Takkar left for Afghanistan. His stay in Afghanistan helped him in a way that he became able to sing poetry of those poets who were banned in Pakistan and his singing from Afghanistan also brought him prominence back at home. In recognition of his unforgettable services to Pashto Music, the government of Pakistan awarded him with the Pride of Performance.
