Accolades
Jal Pari was declared the "Best Selling Album of the Year" for two consecutive years for 2004 and 2005 by the Pakistani newspaper The News International.[3] The song "Bheegi Yaadein" was named the Most Downloaded Pakistani Song Ever from various Pakistani music websites by DAWN newspaper.[3]
Copyright issues
Since Jal's album Aadat and Jal Pari shared certain tracks such as "Aadat", "Bheegi Yaadein" and "Ankhon Se", a war over rights began which resulted in both sides claiming to possess hard proof to support their respective claims that they alone owned these songs. Goher Mumtaz of Jal filled a legal lawsuit against Aslam for copyright infringement, which resulted in the court awarding the rights to both parties as both Aslam and Jal shared some songs on their albums.[4]
