The Coronavirus outbreak might have brought concerts and physical performances to a standstill, but that's not stopping artistes from using their talent for a humanitarian cause. Vocalist Radhika Sood Nayak has teamed up with NGO Goonj to come up with Asan, a kalaam by 16th century Sufi mystic Shah Hussein, which Sood has composed and sung to raise funds for the distressed.

"I first learnt of Shah Hussein when a friend recommended a translated work called Verses of a Lowly Fakir | Madho Lal Hussein by Naveed Alam. The title itself intrigued me; how a 16th century Sufi mystic and his young disciple Madho Lal came together to be known as Madholal Hussein, blurring boundaries of religion."
