1. Allah hoo
The song, which was famously composed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, was recreated by Hamza Tanveer, Rizwan Butt, and Sibtain Khalid in Nescafe Basement, who flawlessly replicated the masterpiece while adding their flair.
2. Mehbooba

The Sufi marvel is a reimagining of Alan Faqir and Mohammad Ali Sheikhi’s masterpiece Tere Ishq Main. The music takes you on a magnificent journey by diving deep into the soul.
