The song that inspired Patari Tabeer

Patari's fourth installment, unveiled on Monday, left us floored as always.

Tabeer project head Ahmer Naqvi narrated the events of the fateful day Nazar Gill walked up to him and asked him to listen one of his original songs. In a series of tweets posted by Ahmer, he narrates a tale that inspired him to start a project for the unrecognised talent of Pakistan.

"As elite, upper class person, my first thought upon seeing him was that he must want his Eidi. I went to take some money out and then opened the door. To my surprise, Nazar asked if he could come inside." added Ahmer.

"When I started taking the money out, he got very flustered and waved it away. He sat down and told me that he had a feeling I worked with music, or that at least I enjoyed it. He then told me that he had a song that he had written, called Jugni." Ahmer recalled.

Lauding Nazar's courage, Ahmer wrote, "I mean, imagine it for a second. How much courage it must have taken to walk up to someone from a class that treats you like sub-human, and offer to show them a part of your soul?"

Is this errand boy-turned-rapper Pakistan's answer to Eminem?

"Every time this project got too hard, it was that realisation that helped us pull through and remember what was at stake here. Last Christmas, we went down to Faisalabad and into the village where he lived, and we had him and his entire family hear the audio of this song." he continued.

Jugni is a song about spiritual love, Nazar says in the video posted by Patari on their Facebook page.

Nazar, who hails from Faisalabad, collaborated with Farhan Zameer and Hassan Omar on Patari's latest offering. "Love should not be about empty words, it should be true." he says in the video.
