"Dil Dil Pakistan, Jaan Jaan Pakistan", this unofficial national anthem of Pakistan will always keep Junaid Jamshed alive in our memories.

The masses in general were also left heartbroken and depressed.

Junaid Jamshed's journey was so quintessentially Pakistani. Conflicted, passionate, devoted, ubersmart, and so, so talented. Tragic loss.
