Samori Ture (also known as Samory Touré or Almamy Samore Lafiya Toure, c. 1830 – June 2, 1900) was the founder of the Wassoulou Empire, an Islamic state in present-day Guinea that resisted French colonial rule in West Africa from 1882 until Ture's capture in 1898.
Samori Toure was born c. 1830 in Manyambaladugu (in the Konyan region of what is now southeastern Guinea), the son of Dyula traders. He grew up as West Africa was being transformed through growing contacts and trade with the Europeans in commodities, artisan goods and products. European trade made some African trading states rich. The trade in firearms changed traditional West African patterns of warfare and heightened the severity of conflicts, increasing the number of fatalities. Early in his life, Ture converted to Islam.
In 1848, Samore's mother was captured in the course of war by Séré-Burlay, of the Cissé clan. After arranging his mother's freedom, Samore entered into service to the Cissé, and learned to handle firearms. According to tradition, he remained "seven years, seven months, seven days" before fleeing with his mother.

Bhiksha Mein Jo Bhi Dogi
Devi Main Sab Le Lunga Prem Pujaari Hu Main
Prem Kyun Bich Mein Laaye
Kyun Jhute Paath Padhaaye Pandit Anaadi Re Tu
Huun Dil Ka Sachcha
Waade Ka Pakka Aisi Baaton Mein Kuchh Bhi Na Rakha
Kehata Huun Sabke Saamane Darling Shaadi Main Tujhse Karunga
Jaanu, Nahi, Shaadi Main Tujhse Karunga
Raaju, Nahi, Shaadi Main Tujhse Karunga
Are Shaadi Main Sabse Karunga
Jaanu, Baby Listen To Me Are Chhod, Chhod, Chhod
Main Tumhaare Bachchon Ka Baap Nahi Ban Sakata
