Pakistan’s renowned singers Ibrar-ul-Haq and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan have released their new song “Tasveer,” which quickly drew attention on social media, with listeners reacting to its unusual musical style and vocals.
The song initially left some listeners thinking it was a national anthem because of its lyrics and overall presentation. However, the appearance of actress Sonia Hussyn in the music video makes clear that “Tasveer” is a tragic love song centered on separation, memories and longing.
Song Draws Mixed Social Media Response
The collaboration between Ibrar-ul-Haq and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has received a mixed response from social media users. While the release has attracted attention, some listeners have criticized its lyrics and musical treatment.
One social media user suggested that Ibrar-ul-Haq should reconsider his public relations team and lyricist, arguing that the song does not reflect his traditional musical style.
Another listener said the opening made them think the song was the national anthem “Ae Watan Pyare Watan.”
