With lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, Noor-E-Ilahi is a duet by Abida ji and composer Salim. The music video is partly shot in Mumbai, Islamabad and Toronto, and tells the story of a flute maker and his kids sharing whatever little they have with others.
Actors Farhan Akhtar and Dia Mirza and singer Clinton Cerejo were thoroughly impressed:
