Waseem Abbas (son) Rehana (daughter) Bina (daughter) Inayat Hussain Bhatti (Urdu: عِنایَت حُسَین بھٹّی; 12 January 1928 – 31 May 1999) was a Pakistani film playback singer, film actor, producer, director, script writer, social worker, columnist, religious scholar and an active advocate of the development of the Punjabi language and literature.

[1][3][6] His father Fazal Ellahi Bhatti, a Muslim Rajput of the Bhatti clan, was a well-known social worker in the locality, while Inayat's early interest in the arts was due to Syed Ijaz Hussain Gilani, a lawyer who showed him the world of music and drama, and also Asghar Hayat Jaura, a local Kabbadi player, with whom he took an interest in Sufi poetry.

It was his association with and training under Master Niaz Hussain Shami, which facilitated Bhatti's participation in regular radio programs as a singer.

In 1996 Bhatti was invited to attend a Cultural Mela in Mohali, India, by the then Minister of East Punjab, Harnek Singh Gharun, the Indian National Congress leader.

Bhatti was the only male artist in Pakistan film industry who achieved super stardom both as an actor and a singer simultaneously.

Beside his solo career as a playback singer, he is credited with singing hundreds of film duet songs with Noor Jehan and Malika Pukhraj to Mala, Irene Parveen, Zubaida Khanum, Munawar Sultana, Kausar Parveen, Naseem Begum, Nahid Niazi, Tassawar Khanum and Afshan.

As a tribute to this legend, his numerous hit songs have been remixed by the new generation of Pakistani singers including Abrar-ul-Haq, Shazia Manzoor, Naseebo Lal, Arif Lohar and many others.

[3] In 1971, he built and donated a complete tuberculosis treatment ward for poor and needy patients in Gulab Devi Hospital, Lahore in the name of his mother Barkat Bibi.

In 1985 elections, during General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq’s regime, he contested for a seat in the National Assembly of Pakistan from NA 95, and lost by a narrow margin.

Later in his life, he joined All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference of Sardar Muhammad Abdul Qayyum Khan, with whom he shared a cordial relationship.

[3] In the 1970s, along with two other like minded personalities, Mr. Zia Shahid (now chief editor of daily newspaper, Khabrain), and Mr. Masood Khaderposh (a retired bureaucrat), he started the publication of a weekly magazine Kahani (story) for the endorsement of Punjabi language and literature.
