Photo showing members of the popular band Joler Gaan, most of whom knew and studied theatre with Wasfia since she was barely a teen. The composition can be heard here. The song losely translates to:
"Sky Earth Water...
Lets touch and proclaim,
Am getting lost... Am getting lost...
Waterfalls, Streams, Rivers...
If we meet on the way...
Lets get drenched, oh lets get drenched..."
