The songs he wrote depicted the time in which they were written. For example "Ae Watan Ke Sajeele Jawano" and "Jeevay Jeevay Pakistan" were written during the 1965 Indo-Pak war time. International Women's Year (1976) "Hum Maain Hum Behnain Hum Baitiyan". And 1974 OIC summit conference at Lahore he wrote "Hum Mustafawi Hein" as official song.

Other people also kept on writing songs on sports and other social issues.

War on Terror was an important juncture in the history of Pakistan. But no writer could write a song on it. Untill there was APS and first song came on the media. There is lot of room and writers can play their role.

There might be one important reason that WoT started from an enemy within. Some people did have confusion in the beginning. But now it is time to do some literary work on this subject.
