Irshad Kamil‘s best songs are almost borderline hymns (Kun Faya Kun & Illahi come to mind). Patakha Guddi falls right in that category. Here is a song that talks about this girl (the protagonist in ‘Highway’) but is worded so beautifully it talks about her in relationship with god.
The more I understand the song and its intention, the more I admire the thought process that went to writing it. Irshad Kamil is slowly but surely becoming one of my all time favorite lyricists.
