Ahmed Ali ShahAhmed Ali ShahAhmed was wise beyond his years, his mother says,

possibly because he lost his father when he was 4-years-old. He had assumed a tremendous responsibility at a

young age, as a result of which, unlike other children his

age, he would not ask his mother to buy him anything.

Bright and studious, Ahmed had a beautiful singing voice.He was often called upon to recite Naats. He would detail

his future plans to his mother; he wanted to become an

auto engineer. He would sketch designs and tell his

mother he would build real cars one day.

His mother says he was an old soul, and because of his

love for poetry, his mother would often lovingly refer to

him as Shair, Ashfaq Ahmed. After his father, he took care

of me, his mother says. More...
