Kon Kis ka Aadmi Hai by

Shehzad Roy

Misbah and Azan


The song repeats the question “Kon kis ka aadmi hai” (Who is
whose man), implying that there is confusion and uncertainty
about the loyalties and affiliations of different people and
groups. The song is questioning the political and social alliances
and allegiances of various actors and stakeholders in the
society, such as the leaders, the parties, the institutions, the
media, the public, and the foreign powers. The song is
suggesting that there is no clear or consistent ideology or
agenda behind the actions and decisions of these actors, and
that they often change their positions and preferences
according to their own interests or benefits. The song is also
implying that there is a lack of trust and transparency among
the people, who are not sure who is working for whom, and who
is serving the national interest or the personal interest.
The song mentions some controversial figures and
events, such as Modi, the Indian prime minister who has
faced protests from farmers; Abhinandan, the Indian
pilot who was captured by Pakistan; and the kung fu
master, who is a reference to the Chinese president Xi
Jinping. These are some of the examples of the current
or recent issues that have affected the relations between
Pakistan and its neighbors, India and China. The song is
using these examples to highlight the complexity and
sensitivity of the regional politics and diplomacy, and the
challenges and opportunities that Pakistan faces in
dealing with its rivals and allies. This song is also using
these examples to mock or criticize the policies and
actions of the leaders of these countries, and to question
their motives and intentions.
The song also questions the truth and lies that are
spread by different sources, suggesting that there is a
lack of trust and transparency in the society. The song
urges the listeners to fact-check and verify the
information they receive before judging “who is
working for whom” and then reach closer to the truth.
This means that the song is warning the people not to
blindly believe or follow the propaganda or
misinformation that is disseminated by the media, the
politicians, the institutions, or the foreign powers. The
song is encouraging the people to use their own logic
and reasoning, and to seek evidence and facts, before
forming their opinions or taking their actions. The song
is also implying that there is a lot of confusion and
manipulation in the society, and that the people need
to be more aware and vigilant.
