This popular Pakistani artist is singing in Pashto. This was somewhat eye-opening to me, as I didn’t know there was a significant Pashto population outside of Afghanistan. The main singer, however, is NOT Pashto, so this song was viewed as a barrier-breaker. Supposedly she is credited for launching a trend in Pakistan of promoting and embracing Pashto culture despite not being Pashto herself.
Note: The video includes an English translation of the lyrics!
