Family Voices Shape Eid Release

As the festive season of Eid al-Fitr draws near, the music industry is witnessing a surge of new releases. Among them is a notably intimate and emotionally resonant project by Bangladeshi singer-composer Zahid Nirob, who is preparing to unveil a unique collaboration featuring members of his own family.

The song, titled “Shukriya Hasnah”, is rooted in the rich spiritual and musical traditions of Qawwali. Written by lyricist Manjur Elahi, it is slated for release on Chand Raat—the eve of Eid—across several digital platforms. Listeners will be able to stream the track via Zahid Nirob’s official Facebook and YouTube channels, as well as the YouTube platform of Prime Bank Limited.

What distinguishes this release is its deeply personal nature. For the first time in his career, Zahid Nirob has brought together his father and brothers in a single musical production. Reflecting on the inspiration behind the project, he remarked that music has always been an integral part of his family life. His earliest experiences were shaped by informal performances at home, where his father would play the harmonium while he sang—moments that laid the foundation for his artistic journey.

This familial bond is intricately woven into “Shukriya Hasnah”. The arrangement features his elder brother, Zubaed Al Naim, on tabla, while his younger brother, Hasibul Nibir, contributes on guitar. The ensemble is further enriched by Mehedi Hasan Tamjid, whose rabab performance adds a distinctive, soulful texture. Their father’s harmonium playing serves as the musical anchor, bringing cohesion and depth to the composition.

Interestingly, the song originated from a commercial jingle created for Prime Bank Limited. The concept and lyrical content resonated so strongly with Zahid that he sought formal permission to expand it into a complete song. He has emphasised the philosophical underpinning of the lyrics, noting that they reflect on the countless blessings bestowed upon humanity and the often-overlooked importance of expressing gratitude for them.

The visual dimension of the project has also been given considerable attention. Long-time collaborator Kawsar Islam Pranto, along with his team, has crafted the music video, translating the song’s emotional core into a compelling visual narrative. The video not only showcases the performance but also highlights the familial connection that lies at the heart of the production.

Beyond this release, Zahid Nirob continues to maintain a strong presence across multiple branches of the entertainment industry. He is actively involved in producing music for advertisements, television dramas, and films. This Eid season, several productions—including both films and television dramas—will feature his compositions, underscoring his versatility and sustained momentum as an artist.

Below is a concise overview of the song’s key details:

With “Shukriya Hasnah”, Zahid Nirob not only delivers a spiritually reflective composition but also celebrates the enduring power of family, tradition, and gratitude—elements that resonate profoundly with the essence of Eid.
