'''Hakam Sufi''' (3 March 1952 – 4 September 2012){{citation needed|date=August 2019}} was an Indian singer as well as songwriter of [[Punjabi music]].<ref name="pn">{{cite web|url=http://punjabnewsline.com/news/Legendary-Punjabi-singer-Hakam-Sufi-passes-away.html|title=Legendary Punjabi singer Hakam Sufi passes away|date=5 September 2012|publisher=PunjabNewline.com|access-date=5 September 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120907030430/http://punjabnewsline.com/news/Legendary-Punjabi-singer-Hakam-Sufi-passes-away.html|archive-date=7 September 2012}}</ref><ref name="ti">{{cite web | url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2012/20120907/punjab.htm#7 | title=Hakam shunned commercial trappings | work=News | date=7 September 2011 | accessdate=30 October 2012}}</ref> He was known for his songs like, ''paani vich maaran deetan'' from a [[Cinema of Punjab|Punjabi film]] and more. Known for his clean and pure style of music, Hakam Sufi stayed away from vulgarity and bawdy lyrics. Untrapped by commercial interests, Sufi, who worked as a school teacher remained dedicated to pristine pure music till his death.<ref name=ti/><br />
<br />
==Personal life==<br />
Sufi remained single throughout his life, primarily so that he could dedicate himself to music and to bringing up his siblings. A very close associate of [[Gurdas Mann]], both singers belonged to [[Gidderbaha]] in Sri Muktsar Sahib district of Indian Punjab.<ref name=ti/> He started singing at a very early age during his schooldays.<br />
<br />
==Songs==<br />
<br />
His major song was the ''Chhalla'', though Sufi himself conceded in a television interview that it was when [[Gurdas Maan]] sung the song, that it reached great heights. ''Pani vich maaran deetan'', ''Mere charkhe di tutt gaee maalh'', ''Kithe laaye ne sajjana dere'', ''Dil vatte di'', and ''Dil tarhpe ashiq da'' were his major songs.<br />
