Shakeel Sohail is a name that many of you may not have heard, but you’ve definitely appreciated his work. ‘Bekaraan Ishq’ and ‘In Dinon’ from ‘Superstar’, the title track for ‘Bin Roye’, ‘Musafir’ from ‘Parwaaz Hai Junoon’, Aima Baig’s ‘Kalabaaz’ were all penned by him to name a few. One of his most recent works is Ost of Sajal Aly, Ahad Raza Mir starer ‘Yeh Dil Mera’. We will also get to hear two of songs penned by him in Amar Khan, Imran Ashraf Starer ‘Dum Mastam’
The beautiful lyrics he wrote for all those songs are a testament to his talent. Undoubtedly one of the best lyricist Pakistan has ever produced, Shakeel Sohail tragically passed away yesterday. For a man who contributed so much to some of the most popular music in the country recently, he was a relative unknown. So many other off screen talents bear the same fate of non-recognition during their lifetimes.
Here’s how people from industry recalled him on his demise
