Shared on social media platforms, particularly Instagram, the viral video showcases the duo perched on a rooftop, playing harmonium and guitar while singing the recreated version of the classic song. The lyrics are ingeniously modified to highlight the severe pollution problems faced by the residents of Delhi and its neighboring regions. The opening lines set the tone, stating, “Diwali is changing. The black shroud is everywhere, and it’s turning into a painful qawwali. You’ll forget clean air, come to Delhi-NCR and witness. Ah, don’t go. Asthma, bronchitis – you won’t escape another hospital bill. You’ll forget clean air.”
