Rafia Zeeshan’s vocals are a beautiful mixture of pathos and exceptional sweetness complemented by immortal melodies.

Rafia is naturally gifted with a crystal clear melodious voice that haunts us with its overwhelming emotional power. With an unparalleled command on Sur, her singing is effortless – usually the hallmark of great singers.

 

Choriye” by Rafia Zeeshan, is based on the story of a couple deep into their marriage, who are used to their routine life.

With the passing years, a couple often does not pay due attention to their other half, and the things that reignite their passion mostly get lost in the years somewhere.

‘Choriye’ is a beautiful reminder of strengthening your relationships and caring for those around you.

The life of the couple featured in the song is unique in the aspect that they are both passionate about music and art. Rafia composes and sings and Zeeshan provides her with the lyrical content.

Have you heard of such a unique arrangement in the Pakistani music industry before?

The best thing is that they didn’t choose fancy models, cars, or anything to fill the video with glamour and that’s the main catch – the whole thing is real and relatable. 

In their routine life as well, they participate in live mehfils and performances. Both of them are together in matrimony and in the making of art as well, providing an exciting and unique combination.

The story depicted in the song revolves around a married couple on their anniversary day.

Zeeshan is shown to be engulfed in his busy life, not caring much about the big day and ignoring his wife. The song begins on a very heartfelt note from there as we feel the pain in Rafia’s voice, where she is hurt by being ignored on her big day. Rafia had prepared for their anniversary, but upon not receiving reciprocation of her feelings, she invites her friends over to celebrate with them. 

When it is made sure that she would not receive any attention from her husband, she passes the day with her friends. Just in the midst of the day, Zeeshan comes with a surprise that was totally unexpected by her. He surprises his beloved wife with a ring on their anniversary day and it is all shown to have ended well in the end. 

Such a simplistic yet real arrangement of the song resonates with the audience because it has a very important element in it – the audience can relate to the song. Especially the ones who are tied into matrimony, Rafia’s song ‘’Choriye’’ serves the purpose for them.

Rafia Zeeshan hails from Faisalabad, ‘’the city of musicians,’’ where Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was born.

Being a doting mother of two, Rafia always had the knack for singing due to her being blessed with a melodious voice, but due to her motherhood responsibilities, she sidelined her passion for music. It lingered on, however. As they say: once you have the passion for music in you and the added voice to compliment it, it never really goes away. 

A dedicated philanthropist, with experience in teaching Media Studies and hosting at a private television channel, Rafia also has a unique and applaudable virtue to her name.

Being a pet-lover, she is keen on adopting and petting homeless cats. We hope to hear some good music in the coming years from Rafia Zeeshan.
