- Tere Bin Soona
- Mishal Khawaja
Born in Pakistan, and raised in Toronto – Mishal Khawaja discovered she could sing a tune in the playground as a child while humming a Toni Braxton song around a friend. However, as an extremely shy kid growing up, it wasn’t until her adult life that her family and friends discovered her singing voice.
Khawaja’s signature textured voice paired with Urdu, English or Punjabi poetry sounds equally effortless. Drawn to Indie-Pop, RnB and Sufi music, she began sharing short cover-songs on Instagram, a few years ago and released her first original track in 2015 titled, ‘’Murder’, followed by “Do You Feel it” and “Vertigo”.
Over years of songwriting, performing and creating a fan base, Khawaja has been able to hone her craft on Instagram – the very grounds where she was ultimately discovered by the producers, Zohaib Kazi and Ali Hamza.
In a world of virtual reality, the idea of returning to Pakistan and tracing her roots was floated in order to achieve the impact with the human spirit intact; and that completion of story and returning to her home-ground at birth would now be Mishal Khawaja’s audio-visual chronicle that will debut on Coke Studio Explorer.

My love
میرے پاس کچھ بھی نہیں اگر تم نا ہوتے
Meray paas kuch bhi naheen agar tum na hotay
I wouldn’t have anything if it weren’t for you
اب میں تیری ہو گئ تم میرے ہو گےؑ
Ab mei teri ho gai tum meray ho gaye
I became yours, you became mine too
میرے پاس کچھ بھی نہیں اگر تم نا ہوتے
Meray paas kuch bhi naheen agar tum na hotay
I wouldn’t have anything if it weren’t for you
اب میں تیری ہو گئ تم میرے ہو گےؑ
Ab mei teri ho gai tum meray ho gaye
I became yours and you became mine
آ جا ماہی میرے آ جا ماہی
Aja mahi meray aa ja mahi
Come my love Come my love
آ جا ماہی میرے آ جا ماہی میرے
Aja mahi meray aa ja mahi meray
Come my love Come my love
تیرے بنا سوُنا سوُنا لگے سوُنا سوُنا
Teray bina soona soona lagay soona soona
Without you it feels quiet
تیرے بنا لا گے
Without you it feels (this way)
Teray bina laagay
میں نے سنا سنا میں نے میں نے سنا
I heard, then again I heard
Main nay suna suna main nay main nay suna
یہی ہوتا ہے
That’s how is goes
Yeh hi hota hai
جب دل ملے دل تیرے دل کے ساتھ
This soul found yours
Jab dil milay dil tairay dil kay sath
ناجانے کب ہوا اورکیا ہو گا
Who knows when this happened and what will happen
Na janay kab hua or kia hoga
لیکن میں ہوں فدا
But I am head over heals
Lekin main hu fida
آ جا ماہی میرے آ جا ماہی
Come my love come
Aja mahi meray aa ja mahi
