Identity: the queue line's bearer is the Karachi semi-classical and pop singer (born 1966), not any other Sajjad Ali. Existence checks by name fragments (sajjad) and by QID across data/person on origin/main found no prior record. The queue's year (1966, living) is confirmed; the full date and the birthplace both follow the Urdu article and Wikidata (Lahore) against the English article's Karachi, both readings preserved in the born note. Relations written: born_in to place/lahore, which exists on main, on the two followed sources. Living-person care: only well-sourced public facts are recorded.",
