Farmane-Ilahi

KARACHI (92 News) In a world of 90-second singles, Shayar is a bold exception. Faris Shafi and qawwali duo Zain Zohaib open the new season of Velo Sound Station with a nearly six-minute track that fuses rap, qawwali, and electronic beats into a powerful musical statement.

Directed by Bilal Lashari, the video is dark, cinematic, and theatrical, which perfectly matches the mood of the song. Faris enters like a poet in a mushaira and delivers introspective verses before the beat drops and his signature rap takes over.

Zain Zohaib’s qawwali vocals add soul and contrast, which turn the track into a spiritual-electronic fusion. The transitions are bold but seamless, and they create a sound that feels both ancient and futuristic.

Shayar isn’t just a song — it’s a manifesto. Experimental yet accessible, it proves that music can break rules and still connect. In this daring mix, Faris and Zain Zohaib shine as true innovators.
