Aziz Mian Qawwal (Urdu: عزیز میاں قوال) (17 April 1942 – 6 December 2000) was a Pakistani traditional qawwal famous for singing ghazals in his own style of qawwali and is considered one of the greatest qawwals in South Asia. He holds the record for singing the longest commercially released qawwali, Hashr Ke Roz Yeh Poochhunga, which runs slightly over 115 minutes. Aziz is known by the sobriquets :"Shahenshah-e-Qawwali" (King of Qawwali), "Fauji Qawwal"(Military Qawwal), since his early performances were often in army barracks, and "the Nietzschean Qawwal".
