According to a major newspaper of Pakistan, "It was Nusrat Hussain who took the initial shot at composing the song (Dil Dil Pakistan). (song written by Shoaib Mansoor) Shoaib hated the first draft. He wanted it to be a lot catchier. Nusrat had another go and came up with an intro that was appreciated by the other members. Encouraged by it, the others (especially Junaid), lend in their own inputs and ideas until the tune was completed, approved by Shoaib and recorded...For years now, 'Dil Dil Pakistan' is regarded to be the 'second Pakistani national anthem'."[1]
After his departure from Junoon, Nusrat released a solo album Amrit (1992)[2] which featured popular tracks such as Jo Chaho Tum and Teri Awaz. He made a comeback in 2012 with his album Kaho,[2] which was a collaboration between him and music producer Sarmad Ghafoor.[4]
