Our music industry is maturing, but good quality national songs are what our youth needs. This song would make you jerk your head like a crazy person or the least make you enjoy the dance steps of Haroon and Fakhir. This song manages to breathe life into me in a way that unrestrained josh (energy) takes over me. Haroon and Fakhir’s Aye Jawan used to be the favourite of all school celebrations and performances on Independence Day. Moreover, in 2003, Dil Dil Pakistan was ranked third in the BBC World Service international poll of popular songs. Vital Signs’s Dil Dil Pakistan won the hearts of Pakistanis since day one. When I listen to this song, I feel a deep connection with my country. We have struggled a lot for Pakistan, generations spent their lives dreaming about it, fighting and sacrificing their lives for it, and only then did it came into being. Mera Paigham Pakistan is by another legendary voice, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. This fervour has been missing in our national songs for years. It’s a simple yet powerful way of calling the youth towards their duty, through such tasteful composition and lyrics. It beautifully highlights the role of the younger generation on taking Pakistan to greater heights and in achieving what our ancestors had wished for us and our homeland. (We were just the topics, you are the real story.) “Hum to sirf unwaan thay, asal dastaan tum ho.” His voice holds the purest feelings, and you can almost taste the sweetness of this song. This particular classic of pure love can live in your heart for eternity. I could see this happening when Brandon Stanton of Humans of New York recently made a trip to Pakistan – people proudly owned up to their identity of being a Pakistani, and their interest in how the world was responding to Stanton’s coverage was apparent through their comments. One of the most captivating lines in the song is, If you try and delve into the lyrics, you will realise that you are making your land the witness to all that you have been doing to, for and around your soil. Her soft voice and clear expressions makes it a classic for generations to come. Nayyara Noor’s ‘ Wattan Ki Mitti’ is one of the most soothing national songs. This August, let’s take a trip down memory lane and celebrate our 68 th Independence Day with the same songs like we used to. Those soulful qaumi naghmay inculcated the love and sense of loyalty for Pakistan within me I could feel my heart growing fonder of the songs and of my land. I wonder what today’s youth listen to during the month of August, since TV channels show a variety of content, yet I haven’t come across any great patriotic song in a long time, except for some remakes and remixes of the old classics.Įach and every one of these classic melodies was like honey to the ears, and they still are. Skits and performances on patriotic songs were the life of celebrations in August, especially in schools on Independence Day. The voices of the singers – painting new colours to the land in the minds of the patriots and making green flags greener – were the background music of our childhood. I remember when I was in school and TV channels would play the national anthem and patriotic songs beginning early August. They are the incentive and encouragement needed to express affection for one’s motherland in every way possible. National songs play a vital role in instilling love for a country in the hearts of children and the youth.
