Patriotism runs in the blood of every Pakistani citizen and the burgeoning love for the nation is proof of that. Every person in the nation has been raised listening to the heartfelt stories of those who have sacrificed themselves for the mother and that has given us a hope that future generations will not forget what it took to make this country what it is.

Exploring this, a new song titled Mader-e-Meherban is delving into the idea of passing nationhood as well.

Featuring an ensemble of legendary singers and the palpable vocals of their kin and next generation, Mader-e-Meherban’s message has been given light with the voices of Abida Parveen, Sajjad Ali, Shafqat Amanat Ali, Zaw Ali, Saadat Ali Khan, and Sarang Latif.

Each of them brings in their own iconic singing repertoire along with the complementing crispness of their next generation, symbolising passing the baton of patriotism to the future of the country.

The lyrics too, represent this mighty idea and have been penned by the celebrated writer Amjad Islam Amjad who has strived to create thought-provoking moments within the song that would resonate with every citizen of the nation who knows the importance of Pakistan.

Similarly, the composition of Madar-e-Meherban, which has been done brilliantly by Sahir Ali Bagga, also adds intricacy to the mix.

The composition perfectly lends a hand to the vocals of the singers and to the lyrics, making this the perfect melody.
