The talented singer has crooned two songs for the upcoming Katrina Kaif-Aditya Roy Kapur starrer Fitoor.
The first song titled Haminastu is a romantic Persian-Hindi number and has a surreal Kashmiri feel to it, pairing perfectly with the Abhishek Kapoor directorial which has been shot in Kashmir.
The word Haminastu means "heaven on earth" and Zeb's magical voice justifies the scenic beauty of the land.

The lyrical masterpiece begins with famous Farsi (Persian) couplet by historical poet Hazrat Amir Khusro: "Gar Firdous Ba-Roohe Zameen Ast. Haminastu, Haminastu". (If there is a heaven on earth, it is here, it is here).
‘Fitoor’ different from Dickens’ novel: Katrina
Interestingly, Firdous is also the name of the lead character in the movie which is played by Katrina.
Zeb's second offering, Hone De Batiyaan, is a duet with Nandini Srikar, who previously ruled hearts with her song Dua from Shanghai, among many others.

Zeb has previously sung for Bollywood films Madras Cafe and Highway. She has also worked her magic with Persian tunes, including hit Bibi Sanam Janem.
