Ali Haider sings ‘Jeeyay Mera Pakistan’
While some of our musicians joined hands to sing Pakistan’s National Anthem recently, some are still relying on their individual songs this Independence Day. Ali Haider is one such singer who is releasing a patriotic song called ‘Jeeyay Mera Pakistan’. He has even altered his name by adding Mohammad before Ali. Our sources reveal that he plans to launch all his spiritual and patriotic projects under this name. For the rest, he is simply Ali Haider.
Coming back towards the song, this is being shot in different cities of the country at their important locations say, Faisal Mosque, Islamabad; Badshahi Masjid, Lahore; Mazar-e-Quaid, Karachi and in the northern areas. Sounds like a five minute tour guide of Pakistan. The video is being directed by Nadeem Kazmi who has previously directed Shehzad Roy’s ‘Khudi Ka Sir-e-Niha’.
The melody of ‘Jeeyay Mera Pakistan’ is by M. Arshad and he has used a number of classical instruments such as tabla, nal and sarodh. It has an overall mellow feel attached to it. This is not the first time Ali Haider has come up with a patriotic song but let’s see how much he has improved over the years. Plus, we still have to figure out if changing his name really helps him!
