A Pakistani singer has dedicated a song to the victims of the devastating twin earthquakes to show solidarity with the Turkish people. Asad Qureshi, an aspiring Pakistani music artist who not only composed but also performed the song titled Türkiye Pakistan Kardeshiz, presented the track to the earthquake victims.
The official music video for the song, which has heartwarming lyrics, also includes English subtitles and cinematic masterpieces of relief work provided by Islamabad to Ankara. The song emphasizes the two Muslim countries’ unbreakable friendship and brotherly relations.
“I came up with the idea of this song while I was observing the fundraising for earthquake victims in Türkiye,” the 25-year-old musician from the northeastern city of Lahore told Anadolu.
“I also participated in and organized a number of fundraising camps,” Qureshi said.
“The idea behind the song was to show solidarity with our Turkish brothers and disseminate the message that we are with them in this difficult and hard time,” he added.
“All of my songs have a message of peace and unity among Muslim nations,” he said. “The audience and even officials from other Muslim countries have praised my work, and I am looking forward to more collaboration with my Turkish and Azerbaijani brothers.”
