Ali Zafar Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Pakistan Army by Performing Iconic War Anthem ‘Ay Puttar’

Popular singer Ali Zafar has paid a heartfelt tribute to the Pakistan Army by performing the iconic war anthem “Ay Puttar Hatan Ty Nai Wikdy,” originally sung by the late music legend Noor Jehan. Known for its powerful message and deep emotional resonance, the song has long symbolized courage and sacrifice, and Zafar’s rendition brought renewed spirit to its legacy.

His performance comes amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan. On Wednesday night, India reportedly launched missile strikes on six locations across Pakistan, tragically resulting in the deaths of 31 innocent civilians. In response, Pakistan’s armed forces delivered what officials described as a “befitting response” by shooting down Indian fighter jets and a combat drone.

Against this backdrop of conflict and national grief, Ali Zafar chose to show solidarity with the armed forces. His performance of the anthem was more than a musical tribute—it was a gesture of unity, honoring the bravery and resilience of those defending the nation. The song, often seen as a rallying cry, underscores the message that “Ay Puttar Hatan Ty Nai Wikdy”—sons born of courage are not for sale.

With his emotionally charged vocals and the weight of the moment behind him, Zafar’s rendition struck a chord with listeners, stirring strong feelings of patriotism and pride. It served as both a remembrance of sacrifice and a call for unity during a time of national challenge.
