Absolutely mind blowing performance. Hats off COKE STUDIO, for bringing hidden talents of Pakistan on the main stage. It is amazing Pakistan has such great talent. Masha Allah. We need this kind of music which is right from heart and soul of the artist. My hearty congratulations to COKE STUDIO. Please keep our traditional music alive, as you are the trend setters. The present day music, Bollywood and Hollywood style does not give peace to listeners. May Allah reward you for your sincere efforts to revive classical and soulful music . Warm wishes.

Goosebumps stuff. The great song- reminiscent of the time when the nation stood as one against a many times bigger, yet not so brave enemy.

@Huma A human life is worth the time to ask God for his blessings on his soul rather then a mere good morning or Hi or a happy Father's Day or in this case R.I.P for the departed soul. Please don't mind, it's just my thoughts how I would like to be remembered.
