    Here is what the lyrics of Pasoori mean.

    [Verse 1: Ali Sethi]
    Agg lavan majboori nu
    Set fire to your worries

    Aan jaan di pasoori nu
    To waiting and to hurries

    Zehar bane haan teri
    If your love is poison

    Pee jaavan main poori nu
    I will drink it in a flurry

    Aana si o nai aaya
    He said he’d come, he never did

    Dil baang baang mera takraya
    My heart lurched and slid

    Kaga bol ke dus jaavein
    Let the crow tell me why

    Paavan gheyo dee choori nu
    And feast on sweet supply

    [Pre-Chorus: Ali Sethi]
    Raawaan ch baawan ch o nu lukawaan
    I will hide him and bide him in loving embraces

    Koi mainu naa roke
    No one makes me stop

    [Chorus: Ali Sethi]
    Mere dhol judaiyaan di, tenu khabar kivein hove
    My love how can you know what happens when we part

    Aa jaave dil tera, poora vi na hove
    I hope you fall in love, I hope it breaks your heart

    Haan baniyan banaiyaan di, gal baat kivein hove
    How will the willing, communicate

    Aa jaave dil tera, poora vi na hove
    I hope you fall in love, I hope it breaks your heart

    [Verse 2: Shae Gill]
    Bhul gayi majboori nu
    I forgot about my chains

    Duniya di dastoori nu
    and people refrain

    Saath tera hai bathera
    You are enough for me

    Poora kar zaroori nu
    Fulfil my destiny

    Aana si o nai aaya
    He said he will come but he never did

    Raasta na dikhlaaya
    I could not see the way was hidden

    Dil humara de sahara
    My heart gives solace

    Khaahishaat adhoori nu
    to wishes unfulfilled

    [Pre-Chorus: Shae Gill]
    Waari main jaavan, main tenu bulavaan
    I dote on you, I call out you name

  • Syeda Dania files for divorce from Aamir Liaquat, reveals he takes drugs and does domestic violence

    Syeda Dania files for divorce from Aamir Liaquat, reveals he takes drugs and does domestic violence

    Politician and television personality Aamir Liaquat Hussain’s third wife Syeda Dania has announced that she is seeking divorce from the former MNA.

    Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Shah dropped a bombshell video to reveal that her marriage with Liaquat has hit the rock bottom after which she approached the court to carry out the legal procedure.

    In her application, she accused Liaquat of forcing her to make adult videos to “send to people abroad” and locking her up for five days if she refused to do it. She also said he “forced her to appear before non-mehram men”. She also accused him of being impotent and consuming drugs.

    In an exclusive interview with Dunya News, Shah said, “he (Liaquat) was very cruel. He would lock me in the room for four days straight. He wouldn’t give food to me on time and would keep me up all night long. I’m a child, I’m not even old enough. He would humiliate me. He would bring every single matter to me, be it the maids or even the media, anything he disliked, he would misbehave with me. He used to push me around and even threatened that he would shoot me. He even tried to strangle me.”

    Shah told the media outlet that Liaquat abused her and at the time she felt like she was being punished. She likened the experience to having been in “hell” and said that if anyone from her family was harmed, Liaquat would be responsible.

    Liaquat took to Instagram and shared a video of Shah that he claimed is two days old in which she denied news of the divorce and asked people to leave them in peace if they couldn’t wish them well. Liaquat said if they hadn’t contracted a nikah, he would’ve revealed the “truth” to the entire nation, which he claimed would shock everyone. He requested journalists and the media to investigate Shah’s appearance in order to judge if he could’ve harmed her in these three months.

    As per reports, Shah, who tied the knot with Liaqaut in February 2022, demanded Haq Mehar in her suit which includes a house worth Rs110 million in Karachi, Rs250,000 in cash, one Toyota Corolla GLI 2022 model, 3 tola gold jewellery worth around Rs400,000.

    While announcing his marriage Aamir revealed that his new wife is, “Saraiki, lovely, charming, simple and darling. I would like to request all of my well-wishers, please pray for us. I have just passed the dark tunnel, it was a wrong turn,” Liaquat expressed.

    Earlier she denied her split with Aamir in a video message.

    A screenshot of Dania’s Instagram handle floated on the web, presenting that she has deleted all posts with her husband.

  • Abdullah Qureshi releases new single with Haider Mustehsan, ropes in Saheefa Jabbar

    Abdullah Qureshi releases new single with Haider Mustehsan, ropes in Saheefa Jabbar

    Singer Abdullah Qureshi has released his new single after a year’s break in collaboration with emerging musician Haider Mustehsan, featuring actor Saheefa Jabbar.

    The Bhool star dons a refreshing look in the video.

    Abdullah has carved his own niche in the music fraternity for 10 years. While churning out new music isn’t an easy task, Qureshi is on a roll with his new single in collaboration with Haider, the new sensation in the fraternity and also a popular choice of the Gen Z.

    Hasda Rehnda is a product of Qureshi and Mustehsan’s hard work and talent. Abdullah formerly wrote this love song which has a fun vibe to it and later on when this became a duo, Haider added his own spin to it.

    The song has graced the screens with a simple yet beautiful video featuring Saheefa Jabbar Khattak. Saheefa dons a simple look for her character while we see both the musicians in their element as well. Together, the melody as well as lyrics make for a single you would definitely hum along.

    Last year Jabbar took to her Instagram stories to announce that she hasn’t quit acting, she has just taken a break because of lack of good scripts and progressive roles for women.

    The Beti diva questioned that why do our women in drama remain oppressed despite there being diverse women in society.

    “There are no good scripts out there. The scripts which are being offered to me at the moment are not up to the standards of storytelling I feel comfortable endorsing,” she said. “I am writing this today because a few rumours have made their way back to me and it does not feel nice to hear untrue things about yourself.”

    Her posts raised important issues regarding portrayal of women in Pakistani dramas.

    Jabbbar was last seen opposite Faysal Qureshi and Aijaz Aslam in Log Kya Kahenge.

    ‘No dance sequence was recorded’: Saba Qamar-Bilal Saeed discharged from Masjid Wazir Khan case

    The acquittal pleas of singer Bilal Saeed and actor Saba Qamar in the case of alleged desecration of Wazir Khan mosque were accepted by Judge Muhammad Mushtaq in Lahore on Monday.

    No scene of dancing was recorded in the mosque paresis, the acquittal plea maintained that claimants filed the case solely to blackmail celebrities. The pleas claimed that they obtained permission from the Auqaf Department to film the ‘Qabool Hay’ song shooting and that no witnesses had objected to the song being shot in the mosque.

    It was argued that because the claimant’s lawyer, Farhat Manzoor Chandio, was not present when the filming was rerecorded and there was no evidence of a violation of the mosque’s sanctity, both parties should be acquitted.

    A judicial magistrate had previously issued bailable warrants for singer Bilal Saeed’s arrest for failing to appear in court in a case of alleged desecration of the Wazir Khan mosque with his co-accused local actress Saba Qamar.

    Both of the accused had filed for a personal appearance exemption. The Ghabrana Nahi Hai diva had gone to the UAE for professional assignments and would return by March 31, according to the accused’s lawyer, who also claimed that Saeed was unable to appear due to illness.

    The reel pair landed in hot waters in 2020 when a controversial video from the shoot of their song went viral on the internet. A year later, news of the issuance of the arrest warrants of both the celebrities started circulating on the internet.

    The celebrity duo have now clarified the news about their arrest in a statement issued by their lawyers.

    As soon as the news went viral, the Cheekh diva and Saeed’s lawyers released an official statement regarding their arrest warrants. The details stated that their arrest warrants have been canceled and the original orders of the court have been misinterpreted to malign the characters of their clients, who are law-abiding citizens of the country.

    While shooting for Bilal Saeed’s song Qubool Hai in Wazeer Khan Mosque, Lahore, the Hindi Medium diva was seen twirling for a scene of the music video.
