A chance search on youtube led to this superb rendition of the Heer Waris Shah by Taimur Afghani, a name I never heard before and don’t find any more information on google except what appears in the accompanying text at youtube:
Taimur Afghani, a budding singer, makes a very special rendition of singing Heer Waris Shah at the historical Hirn Minar, Shaikhupura, Pakistan.
Taimurji is resident of Jandiala Sher Khan. Jandiala Sher was probably settled by Pir Waris Shah’s father, Syed Sher Gul Khan, a migrant from afghanistan. Taimur is working very hard on establishing Pir Waris Shah academy in Jandiala. He is also an organizer and coordinator for Heer singing gathering at the Darbar on 14th moon night of each month. He is happily married and is a father of a beautiful young son.
Part 2, Part 3 (distracting conversations in the latter half somewhat mar the last one)

awesome.
One of the best renditions of heer that i have heard so far.
Warish Shah would be proud of this Heer. Brings a tear to the eye. Makes you think of everything you ever lost. If I ever visit pakistan again I will definitely go to that event on the 14th.
