The ‘Gotham’ actress in an Instagram post expressed her fondness for the two Pakistani legends. “Abida Parveen and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are two of my favourite vocalists of Sufi music. This song is called ‘Chaap tilak’ and you can go on YouTube to check out the lyrics. They are beautiful,” she wrote.
The duo had collaborated for the song for ‘Coke Studio’ season seven in 2014 with the song becoming one of the biggest hits the program has produced. The songs’ lyrics are a poem by Amir Khusrow.

Another one wrote, “Wow, this is amazing! I’m so thankful that you posted this. Such an uplifting gift to my soul.”
Other also expressed similar views and said that despite not understand what they were saying, the song sounded romantic. “Thank you for this. Major plug. Healing power!”
