The Balochi pop song garnered compliments and love amongst the audience. Sung by the up-and-coming hijabi rapper Eva B, the track also starred Kaifi Khalil as the lead vocalist and Abdul Wahab Bugti playing the Tambura. 

Heart-wrenching images circulating on social media clearly paint the misery; Bugti is passing through as his family members can be seen taking shelter under a charpoy, with no food.
