Also our musicians, at the end of the day, want hit numbers and by chanting Pakistan Pakistan all the time won't make any big difference. In future, if we collaborate with any mainstream singer, we'll definitely do a national song.Ī reason for not having a lot of patriotic songs is that people on the whole, haven't got much from Pakistan, be it gas, water or anything. It's definitely wrong to say that our youth lacks feelings for our country. If we talk about Overload, its chiefly instrumental, but every song of ours, including 'Dhamaal' can be interpreted as patriotic music. The other would be Ustad Amanat Ali Khan's, 'Aey Watan Pyare Watan', which is an evergreen song and tends to develop true patriotic feelings in one's heart. One is "Hay Jazba Junoon Tau Himmat Na Haar", which has a beat and a very pleasant melody to it. I'm not really into patriotic music, but I guess two national songs are commendable. I would like to point out to my youngsters that there are no short cuts and you really need to work hard and make Pakistan the best place to live in. Previously it wasn't like that people had love for their country and their devotion can still be seen and heard through number of national songs which are evergreen. They are too caught up in their own music and methods to make it big, hence none of the songs have really touched me in last couple of years. There aren't many national songs coming up these days for the reason that the patriotic spirit is missing in our youth today. 'Sohni Dharti Allah Rakhey Qadam Qadam Abaad Tujhey', because it says very beautiful things about my country and it makes me feel good. Our people should start working for country, not for their own personal benefits, then we will definately be rocking the world. Our youth is attracted to Dubai or London, because those places attract youngsters with proper entertainment. Here we aren't progressing, our youth is unemployed and there's too much bad politics. If they were properly entertained then I believe they'd do wonders. Not many national songs are coming up because our youngsters are not properly entertained. I like this song because I believe it's a classy song and the lyrics are very sweet and it's brilliantly shot. The video of 'Aasman Ko Chhootey Jayen Hum' is going to be released on August 14, that can be interpreted as patriotic. I haven't yet thought of making one, I might someday. Vital Signs' 'Dil Dil Pakistan' is surely the greatest national song. One can't really say that very few national songs are coming up these days or that musicians have little sense of belonging to their country. It effects me in the way it did when I heard it for the first time, besides this song has depth and authenticity that shows the grace of the great Ustad Amanat Ali Khan. 'Aey Watan Pyarey Watan' by Ustad Amanat Ali Khan really touches me every time I listen to it. And here we asked some icons of Pakistan's music and entertainment industries what their favourites were and the results were unanimous… Ustad Amanat Ali Khan's ditty remains the most memorable national song for most of the people interviewed. Nothing like a tune to make you feel patriotic… Jeevay Jeevay Pakistan, Hum Zinda Qaum Hain, Sohni Dharti, Aey Watan Ke Sajeelay Jawanon, the list of songs poets have penned and singers have lent their voices to, to pay tribute to our homeland is endless.
It's a time when national songs are being played over and over again on a multitude of channels and blaring from loudspeakers at festive gatherings and cars on the road.
