In 1972, Esakhelvi was invited to perform on Radio Pakistan, Bahawalpur. That same year, he performed in a concert in Mianwali. Esakhelvi performed on the television show Neelam Ghar in 1973. He was invited by a company in Faisalabad to record folk songs in their studio, and recorded four albums in one recording session. The albums were released at the end of 1977 and became national bestsellers. In 1980, Esakhelvi performed in the United Kingdom for the first time. It was also his first concert abroad. He is considered a folk icon in his home country and considered as one of the most popular singers in its history. For years, Esakhelvi reigned supreme and unchallenged, in a universe that existed parallel to the cultured music salons of the elite.
