After spending quite a few years singing songs for Indian films, Atif Aslam has finally crooned one for a movie made in his home country. Yes, the singer has sung a track of Asim Raza’s much-awaited Ho Mann Jahan and it’s called Dil Kare.

The video for the song has been released and is doing pretty well. To be honest, it has a nice little melody and Atif A has done justice to the lyrics as well. Does this mean that his days in Bollywood are numbered? Certainly hope not!
