Famed singer Meesha Shafi has rendered the lead vocals and is backed up by additional vocals by Asad Abbas and Saima Mumtaz. The music captures the beauty and spirit of Swat and has a rustic yet energetic feel to it, while the accompanying video provides a glimpse of stunning vistas of the beautiful Swat valley. The video has been directed by Zeeshan Parwez and shot by Kohi Marri and Shahrukh Khurshid.

The music video has been released on popular TV channels (Geo News, ARY Digital, and HUM TV) effective from October 16-November 5, 2011, with a simultaneous radio release of the song on FM 100 and 89. It will also be featured on www.tourswat.com and is currently making successful online rounds.
