Dua e Reem: Shoaib Mansoor Transforms Kid’s Prayer To Bride’s Prayer

Shoaib Mansoor has stunned the world again with his latest creation “Dua-a-Reem”. He has collaborated with the superstar of Pakistan Mahira Khan featuring the voices of Damiah Farooq, Shehnaz, and Mehak Ali. The music has been given Khawar Jawad.

The Dua-e-Reem means the prayer of the bride. The plot is set in the pre-partition era when Allama Iqbal’s “Lab Pe Ati Hai Dua Ban K Tamana Meri” was a trending poem in the community.

The video starts with professional singers of the time explaining to women that they have taken their spin on the poem “Lab Pe Ati Hai Ban K Dua Tamana Meri” and had transformed the poem in the bride’s prayer.

However, prayer is not a prayer. It is a lecture for a woman to compromise.

Every word is asking the woman to corporate with the circumstances given to her. The bride, Mahira Khan, meanwhile seems to not agree with the prayer and asks the professional singers to stop making such a naive prayer. And then presents her own version of prayer which questions domestic violence and the role of a wife in husband’s life. The song so far is getting mixed reviews.

Many people have been criticizing it for the ideas presented, and how classic poetry was ruined. However, still many praised the team for resisting ideas and have also acknowledged the different spin on the poetry.
