A woman had to resort to Urdu to praise Atif Aslam's rendition of Tajdaar-i- Haram, so moved she was left by the message the song conveyed. "Uff, bohat khoobsurat," she said.

One person didn't understand the song Pani Da Bulbula. "I didn't understand the bubble of water." Another said, "Hopefully these are the most fun Pakistani songs I have ever heard."
