LAHORE- The first episode of the long awaited season 12 is finally out and we have it on repeat!
Wohi Khuda Hai released on 11th October 2019. Penned by Muzaffar Warsi, the lyrics of Wohi Khuda Hai praise GOD as the One Creator of a system that runs and maintains an order of the universe in balance and harmony.
The piece goes on to describe this in the various experiences of the human connection with the Divine; through the seen and unseen and, ultimately, with one’s heart and soul.
The rendition presents Atif Aslam in a space that offers an exploration of the essence of the Hamd, by witnessing the play of a soundscape that serves the contemplative nature of the verses.
Wohi Khuda Hai is an exploration of wonder and awe at the capacity and ability of Creation and a means to reflect on its beauty. For this season, Atif Aslam brings to the canvas of Coke Studio experimentation of ambient and introspective discovery – once again exploring the melodies hidden in his voice and showcasing his versatility with genres that are new to his repertoire.
Actors Mawra Hocane and Mahira Khan are in love with Atif’s melodious voice and so are we!
“Atif Aslam and Rohail Hayat in the house! Ufff… Goosebumps and tears,” the Superstar actor wrote.

“I’m teary and grateful,” she said.
A piece that was originally made iconic in the vocals of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Wohi Khuda Hai remains a national favourite, as a composition that has been etched into our cultural framework.
It has been sung and covered countless times across the globe, taking on different colours, profoundly impacting audiences with the universal appeal of its poetry.
