Freedom song: Dubai group releases patriotic musical tribute to Pakistan and UAE on independence day

DUBAI: The Pakistan Association Dubai (PAD) has celebrated Pakistan’s independence day by releasing its first music production.
The patriotic song, which is produced by PAD, is sung, composed and directed by Karachi-based singer and businessman Nauman Ali Shah Bukhari.
“We are very excited to share this proud production. This is the first Pakistani patriotic song made by the people of Dubai,” said Dr. Faisel Ikram, PAD president.
“The song talks about our love of Pakistan and the UAE and its leadership.”
Ikram said the song was initially Nauman’s idea and PAD had decided to support him.
“The idea was to highlight the relationship Pakistanis have with the UAE as a second homeland. And for some, this is the first homeland as their birthplace,” he said.
According to Bukhari, the song is a tribute to the Pakistanis living in the UAE. “They loved this song. I am so amazed by their support and appreciation,” the singer said.
Lyrics to the song were written by the Lahore-based poet Afzal Ahmed Siddiqui in Urdu. Production took place in Pakistan and the UAE.
