Taher Shah released his new banger ‘Farishta’ last night after a long wait by fans. The song was supposed to be released earlier in the month but it was postponed, this upset a lot of people who had been waiting for a while. Taher Shah first came to the scene with his song ‘Eye to Eye’ in 2013, which was an instant hit. His second song ‘Angel’ was also very popular when it came out in 2016.

After a four year gap Taher Shah released his new song so of course people are very excited

After the song came out, though, people complained that this was just the song ‘Angel’ translated into Urdu. But honestly, who are we to complain when Taher Shah is here to distract us from the morbidity of the world right now.

Even with this criticism, Taher Shah is ruling the trends on Pakistani social media since the release of his song. As always, the video of the song is incredible; this time he took things a step further and used an animation. Maybe that’s his “social distancing” way of keeping safe while making his new music video.

Pakistanis have taken it upon themselves to make hilarious memes about it and flex their world famous trolling skills

The main character in the song is what seems to be either a Child King or a Prince but people agreed his Kingdom looks amazing.

People felt that the main character of the Taher Shah music video was representing their desperate life after lockdown

People also noticed that everyday situations depicted very accurately in the song

Kaise karta hai ye banda?

But all in all, everyone agreed that it really provided the much needed comedic relief everyone needed in these trying times

All in all, it was a great day. And truly what we needed in these tough times. Thank you Taher Shah for always providing us with amazing content.
