Two traditional music pieces for the film were also performed and recorded by musicians Abid Ahmad and Sayadullah in Baghicha Dheri; Adnan's village near Mardan, Pakistan.

Here’s what Skehlaaj has to say about its name and the song:

“I’ve my own band from nearly 5 years now by the name of ‘Skehlaaj’. And since 2007, I’ve been the founder/only member. My genre is highly experimental ranging from industrial to hard rock and metal. I’ve been having a lot of trouble from a long time to explain the term ‘skehlaaj’ to anyone who asked me how I came up with the name, until last days when one of my internet friends made a joke about it which ended up giving me a splendid idea on the term. I’ve came up with this song [Is Ka iLaaj (skehlaaj)].”
