This song arrives with a music video inspired by his children\u2019s puppet show Pakkay Dost.\u00a0Ahead of the release, Maqsood teased the track on Instagram with a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the video.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing his thoughts, he wrote: \u201cWanted to start making songs again. Thought I\u2019d begin with one called O\u2019re Saajna. But honestly\u2026 didn\u2019t feel like doing the whole acting-shaacting this time. So I figured, why not just become my own muppet instead. O\u2019RE SAAJNA, Coming soon\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the video, Maqsood also highlighted how effectively the muppet version of himself conveyed the emotions of the song.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019re Saajna is a slow, romantic piece built around the soft acoustic melodies, reminiscent of the signature sound that defined his earlier career.<\/p>\n<p>As part of Strings, Maqsood was known for his timeless love songs including Sar Kiye Yeh Pahar, Sohniyae, Anjaane amongst many more. The new video carries a similar emotional depth, portraying the muppet \u201cBM\u201d reminiscing about a lost love which is a fellow puppet he had to leave behind.<\/p>\n<p>Set against the visuals of the Karachi coastline and city streets, the video blends nostalgia with a distinctly playful aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p>The song also reflects Maqsood\u2019s ongoing love for the Urdu language, which he promotes through his children\u2019s show. With O\u2019re Saajna, he merges both creative worlds; music and Urdu into a single artistic expression.<\/p>\n<p>While many parents on Instagram praised his continued dedication to children&#8217;s content, Maqsood clarified that this particular release is also aimed at adults.<\/p>\n<p>The full music video was released on Saturday, marking a heartfelt and creative comeback for the artist.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singer Bilal Maqsood has made a return to music with his latest single O\u2019re Saajna, released on Friday.
