Earlier, last year Ali Zafar had released Hamd-o-Naat, stating, “I was blessed to visit Makkah and Medina. What I experienced there cannot be described in words. A part of that I have tried to express in this Hamd-o-Naat."

The video ends with a poignant note in the loving memory of Ghulam Farid Sabri, Maqbool Ahmed Sabri and Amjad Sabri who had performed this multilingual naat based on Kalaam by Hazrat Bedam Shah Warsi.

Earlier, on International Labour Day, the singer paid tribute to the labour force of Pakistan with song Hum Mazdoor. 

Written and composed by Rehman Faris, the song, performed and produced by Zafar, sees him laud the hard work, dedication and the indomitable spirit of our labour workers, who are undergoing extreme economic hardship during the coronavirus pandemic.

Hum Mazdoor is a celebration of the workers who contribute to the making of Pakistan from field to field, desk to desk, hand in hand. The music video also highlights the role of female labourers in the country’s economic development.
