For over a decade, Coke Studio has been pivotal in transforming mainstream music in Pakistan. Ever since its launch in 2008, it’s trending for showing the cultural diversity of Pakistan. People were skeptical when Rohail Hyatt left the reigns of the show after season 13, but boy, oh boy, season 14 started with a bang!

Combining Naseebo Lal’s folk charm and distinctive voice with Aabida Perveen’s liberating spiritual energy, Coke Studio produced Tu Jhoom.

The song has gained over 12 million views in just eight days. It captivated the audience from all around the world. It’s a song that appeals to the soul whether you understand the lyrics or not. Penned by Adnan Dhool, produced by Xulfi and Abdullah Siddiqui, and choreography directed by Saad Sheikh, Tu Jhoom takes the listener on a journey of spiritual calm and ends with our beloved message of “let it go”.

As I am not a Punjabi speaker, I only understood the parts that were either in Urdu or similar to Urdu. I certainly didn’t need to find out the meaning of the complete song as the story of the song was narrated to perfection with the vocals, the music, and the choreography. However, the poet in me does always tieeverything back to the lyrics.

As I understood the lyrics of Tu Jhoom, the listening experience became even more beautiful for me.

And I want to share that experience with you, hoping that my interpretation of this magical work of art gets you started on the spiritual journey to find contentment and peace.
