Haroon Bacha (Pashto: هارون باچا) (born July 27, 1972) is a Pashtun singer and composer who, since beginning his musical career in 1992, has released upwards of 50 albums and numerous singles.
The song consists of Pashto tappa poems, and has since been translated into Urdu, Persian, Arabic, and English by numerous artists.

Through repeated text messages and phone calls, the Taliban asked him to quit music upon threat of death for him and his family.
These threats lasted approximately one year until Bacha fled his home for Brooklyn, New York, where he was granted political asylum.
