[edit] Concept

The album has a loose concept which Nabeel Nihal Chishty described as “The album basically leans towards the romantic side. The lyrics deal with the different emotions a person goes through while in love. It is quite varied. There is darkness, there is subtlety and there is also forthrightness.”

[edit] Music

The album's musical style varies from power ballads such as Na Kaho to more progressive songs such as Zarb. Almost all the tracks feature the keyborad player, Kami. All of the tracks also feature a 12 string guitar, an electric guitar and a guitar solo. There are also two instrumenal tracks on the album, Zarb and Hoor. The bass guitar also stands out in that it does a bit more than just play bass notes.

[edit] Videos

The tracks Jalan, Sawaal, Na Kaho and Jeeyay have been made into videos.
