You know you’ve entered Pakistani drama land when the OST (original soundtrack) starts playing and suddenly your dadi, phupho, and even the random uncle passing by stop to listen. OSTs are not just songs; they’re an emotion. And let’s be honest, sometimes the OST is better than the actual drama (looking at you, yaar Humsafar 👀).
The best OSTs from Pakistani dramas include classics like “Humsafar,” “Zindagi Gulzar Hai,” “Mere Paas Tum Ho,” “Parizaad,” and “Suno Chanda.”
🎤 Why OSTs Hit Different in Pakistan
Pakistani OSTs aren’t just background music. They:
- Carry the emotional weight of the drama.
- Stick in your head for years (sometimes forever).
- Become a part of pop culture — like “Kya tum mere ho?” vibes.
🎶 The Legendary Ones
1. Humsafar – Qurat-ul-Ain Balouch (QB)
If OSTs had a queen, this would be it. Even people who never watched the drama know the song. The heartbreak, the melody, the nostalgia — chef’s kiss.
2. Zindagi Gulzar Hai – Ali Zafar
This one wasn’t just an OST, it was a life mantra. Kashaf’s struggles, Zaroon’s charm, and Ali Zafar’s voice = iconic.
3. Mere Paas Tum Ho – Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
“Do takay ki larki” may have gone viral, but Rahat’s soulful OST gave the show its depth. Goosebumps every time.
4. Parizaad – Asrar Shah
Dark, haunting, poetic — this OST carried the weight of Parizaad’s entire story. You felt his pain before the drama even started.

5. Suno Chanda – Farhan Saeed
On the lighter side, this OST is pure shaadi-season energy. Fun, playful, and still making rounds on mehndi playlists.
