Abdus Sattar Mohonto (born 8 November 1942 – died 31 March 2013) was a Bangladeshi mystic poet, Baul music artist, lyricist and composer. Abdus Sattar Mohonto is one of those by whose hands Baul songs, that is folk songs, were enriched.
Composing songs of love for the guru, divine love, prayer, murshidi, dehatotto, spirituality and more, he wrote more than six hundred songs. He is famed at home and abroad for his various popular songs, especially his immortal 'Srishti Ami To More Jabo Cholei Jabo' ('Creation, I too shall die and be gone'). Many of his other songs also gained popularity. Quite a few of his songs have been used in films.
Abdus Sattar Mohonto was born in 1942 in the village of Kurigaon in Lauhajang upazila of Munshiganj district, into a culture-loving family. His father was the late Golam Ali Bepari and his mother the late Saburunnesa. In the large family of six brothers and sisters he had little opportunity to go far with his studies. For a livelihood he rented a tiny shop at Dighli Bazar, and at night he slept at the house of Chhattar Bepari sahib adjoining the bazar. The famous saint Kadam Ali Mastan lived in that house. People kept coming and going at his astana all the time, and at night there were sessions of song. Renowned singers often came to sing. It was at that astana that, encouraged by Pagla Kadam Ali Mastan, Abdus Sattar Mohonto took up song and music. And it was Kadam Ali Mastan who gave him the name 'Mohonto'.
In 1978 Abdus Sattar Mohonto first got the opportunity to sing on Bangladesh Radio. In 1987 he became a listed artist of Bangladesh Television. He also regularly performed songs on various private television channels. In 1989 his first audio album, Amito More Jabo, was released. In 1991 Sattar Mohonto was selected as a listed lyricist of Bangladesh Television.
