The Story Behind Mulaqatein
Mulaqatein is a romantic ghazal sung and composed by Schumaila Rehmat Hussain, with poetry by Ali Abbas Zaidi and music credited to Syed Faraz Rizvi. The song first appeared on Hussain's 2022 album Gulmohar Se before Geo Entertainment used it in 2023 as an OST for Jhoom. The drama video places Zara Noor Abbas and Haroon Kadwani against a seaside setting, tracing a courtship that shifts from playful closeness toward emotional separation. Its lilting, restrained arrangement leaves space for Hussain's breathy vocal, matching the uneasy tenderness of Aryaan and Maryam's relationship. Released ahead of the serial, the video introduced viewers to the romance at the centre of Jhoom while giving an existing album ghazal a new dramatic life.
Meaning & Translation
Mulaqatein is the Urdu plural of mulaqat, meaning meetings or encounters. The song considers a long-awaited meeting with someone beloved and the painful gap between romantic expectation and what actually unfolds. Desire has already built an ideal encounter, yet closeness arrives with uncertainty, silence, and the possibility of parting. In Jhoom, that emotional push and pull mirrors Aryaan and Maryam, whose attraction promises comfort while social pressure shadows their bond. The ghazal therefore treats a meeting as more than a happy reunion. It can become a cherished memory, an admission of vulnerability, and a reminder that two people may find each other without being able to hold on to the world they imagined.
