Ishq Hawa Main — Asrar's quirky comeback

If you thought Coke Studio was the last you were going to see of Asrar, wait till you hear his new track Ishq Hawa Main.

The song starts off with a catchy mouth organ and acoustic guitar melody and a short-haired, shirtless Asrar in the music video. The song and video both present a refreshingly different side of Asrar, one that doesn't revolve around the Sufi identity we all got used to after his Coke Studio performances, although the song does talk about love.

The lyrics of Ishq Hawa Main were written by Wasi Shah, a renowned poet and columnist. The way in which the video compliments the lyrics is what makes the song interesting as well as visually appealing. We can see Asrar walking with a backpack indulging in wanderlust around different areas of Pakistan, waving his arms at the scenic beauty as he sings "Ishq hawa main, ishq ghatta main..."

If you're a huge admirer of Pakistan's natural beauty and landscapes, this music video is a going to be a visual treat for you. Although it really could do without the two random shots of a girl. Overall, the song with the help of this visually appealing video imparts a sense of happiness and the inspiration to go on a road-trip around Pakistan.
