The song has been composed by Mustafa Zahid and Haider Halim, while the heart touching lyrics have been penned by Mustafa himself. The music video has been artistically directed by Saad Hashmi and features the gorgeous Saboor Aly alongside the singer.
The video features Mustafa Zahid all dressed for a date, and on the other hand, we see Saboor Aly getting ready too. However, upon reaching the venue, Mustafa finds her lying dead on the floor. While he’s sitting next to her dead body in shock, the police comes and takes him away. The episode is followed by an interrogation during which he has flashbacks of their relationship.
He finds that she’s an undercover agent and is cheating on him but he lets her go. This a story of a one-sided love that feels close to Mustafa’s heart even after all this time.
Have a look at the Twitter reactions:

Superb. Not only the endless wait for the original Kaisay Jiyein ended but I thought this was also @Mustafology's best music video till date. Finally a video with a proper creative storyline as well as suspense.
