“Mera Maula” in collaboration with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and reflects on how God has left this land with nothing but barren lands, sadness and reflections of death. The songs calls for the Lords help and asks what did we do wrong, why we were punished and why did he leave us. The haunting melody blends in perfect harmony with the lyrics and resonates with the pain that has become part of the lives of so many in this world.
