A group of five people led by Atif Aslam has performed the latest rendition of the naat. The group consists of Nouman Javed, Ahsan Pervez Mehdi, Kumail Jaffery, and Ali Pervez Mehdi.
All the men can be seen dressed in simple white kurta shalwar. Singers have recited the naat without additional music. The pace of the naat has been set mild to slow with a consistent low-contrast look.
