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.[2] He started singing at a very early age during his schooldays.
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.
