It was originally slated for a 25 September 2003 release date, but was delayed to October 1. "Kahan Hai Tu" and "Hamesha" were released as singles that did well in the charts. Irtiqa was considered a critical and commercial success. Irtiqa was Pakistan's first concept album; the concept of Irtiqa was about the evolution of a person, hence the name. Music videos were released for "Hamesha," "Hamen Aazma," "Kahan Hai Tu," "Waqt" and "Irtiqa III"; the videos for "Waqt" and "Irtiqa III" were directed by Xulfi himself.
