Naseer Turabi's iconic ghazal, 'Woh Hamsafar Tha,' was penned in the 1970s to mourn the fall of Dhaka and Pakistan's division. However, its recent adaptation as a dance performance song at an award show raises questions. While Mahira Khan's dance prowess is undeniable, using a poignant poem about national loss and heartbreak as a celebratory dance number feels incongruous. The choice of 'Woh Hamsafar Tha' for this purpose seems, for lack of a better word, inappropriate. #humsafar #MahiraKhan #hu
