Anonymous, Assassin, Revenge, Surfrush, Love Love, and his behind-the-scenes songs and lyrics are considered an important milestone in the Pakistani film industry. His lyrics, especially for the film killer and driving to the new destination of Ulfat have gained huge popularity in Pakistan as well as in India but their natural tendency was towards semi-classical singing rather than light music. Along with Tumblr and the band, he also sang the lyrics in his distinctive semi-classical style. After Mehdi Hassan, the most important name in the words of Faiz Ahmed Faiz is considered as Iqbal Banu.
