WAJD (Urdu: وجد , literal English translation: "Ecstasy"), derived from Wujud, is a Pakistani rock band which gained popularity with their song Jeena Chahta Hoon (released in 2006),^[1] also included on their debut album Toofan-e-Munn (released in July 2010) by Fire Records.^[2] WAJD is the only featured artist whose all videos (all five of them) have been featured and promoted by GeoTV – Pakistan's most selling newspaper group and most famous online TV news channel.^[3] This is mainly due to the political, patriotic and social content that the band produces during the songwriting process. On numerous occasions, the band has shared their Sufi experiences, ideas behind the mystic poetry, and soulful songwriting ideology during TV, radio and newspaper interviews, such as the band's latest interview at Rohi TV.^[4] During the band's early days, Pakmusic partnered with the band for web promotions and releases.^[5]

Music

While the band was recording the song Toofan-e-Munn, it was decided to name the album after this song. Soon after, the entire album was completed and sent to Fire Records – one of the biggest record labels in Pakistan. The album was reviewed and accepted by Fire Records, and the band signed a deal with them in 2008.^[6] The album was delayed for certain reasons and was finally released in July 2010^[7]^[8] followed by the launching of the Toofan-e-Munn video. Since the album was now the property of Fire Records, they chose their own Fire Records' employee/in-house director Asad Pathan to direct the video. Both the album and video received positive responses from the market.^[9] The album name is also spelled as "Toofan-e-Mann" at several websites.^[10]
