It was written by Pakistani dramatist Imtiaz Ali in Lahore back in 1922. Post a comment In the modern play, the soundtrack and the lyrics were taken from the original film and two newly composed songs were added. During the play, artists sing the songs live on stage as an orchestra and a choral score is played in the background.</p>
