‘Mein Abdul Qadir Hun’

‘Mein Abdul Qadir Hun’ is a recent hit song from a Hum Tele­vi­sion dra­ma ser­i­al of the same title. Nowa­days this song is gain­ing huge pop­u­lar­i­ty not only among the reg­u­lar dra­ma view­ers but also Pak­istani youth have been attract­ed to it a great deal. A lot of cred­it of this pop­u­lar­i­ty goes to the song which has been sung by a young promis­ing vocal­ist and musi­cian named Ifti. The lyrics of the song beau­ti­ful­ly explore all the con­fu­sions relat­ed to iden­ti­ty and spir­i­tu­al self which young minds may con­front with at cer­tain point of time in their lives. The song has bril­liant musi­cal modes which fuse togeth­er and leave a very thought pro­vok­ing impact on the lis­ten­er. Some­times the key note in the lyrics ‘Mein Abdul Qadir Hun’ sounds bit stuffed and heavy in com­par­i­son with the whole score and it seems the rhythm has been com­pro­mised for it but it also leaves a unique impres­sion which adds to its mean­ing and some­how this issue has been beau­ti­ful­ly dealt with to keep the ‘Abdul Qadir’ at the right place.
Ifti is a tal­ent­ed young­ster who is an all-in-one musi­cian. He com­pos­es his own music, writes the lyrics, sings, and plays the gui­tar. He strums the gui­tar in the tap-style which very few peo­ple in Pak­istan do. His inspi­ra­tion is the Mel­low Blues with a touch of East­ern Roots. He has been play­ing gigs for a few years now and his first sin­gle titled ‘KHATA’, broad­cast­ed on radio fre­quen­cies, received an over­whelm­ing response. He has writ­ten, com­posed & sung the track ‘Yariyan’ for anoth­er dra­ma ser­i­al.
