The True Post — Legendary Pakistani folk singer Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi has shared a deeply personal reflection on life and mortality, revealing that he has already prepared his final resting place in his hometown of Isa Khel.
The veteran artist made the emotional disclosure during a recent interview, where he spoke openly about accepting the reality of death and the importance of preparing for the hereafter.
“My Grave Is Already Prepared”
Responding to a question about life and the afterlife, Esakhelvi said he had already arranged his grave in Isa Khel, explaining that every person, regardless of fame or success, must ultimately return to their Creator.
He said preparing for death is a reminder that worldly achievements are temporary, while one’s deeds remain the true legacy.
A Separate Burial Place
The renowned singer explained that although his family has a separate ancestral graveyard, he chose to prepare his own burial place at a nearby location.
According to him, the site has space for two or three graves, and the decision reflects his personal outlook on life rather than any unusual reason.
He added that remembering death helps people remain humble and encourages them to focus on spiritual preparation.
“One Day, We Will All Leave”
During the interview, Esakhelvi became emotional while remembering loved ones who had passed away.
He spoke about losing his parents, a sister, close friends, and several relatives over the years.
