Early life and career

"Yeh Hum Naheen" (Urdu ﻳﻪ ﮨﻢ ﻧﹷﮭﹻﮟ,) – "This Is Not Us!"

Ali Moeen wrote the lyrics for "Yeh Hum Naheen", a peace song sung by Pakistan's leading artists as part of an international campaign against terrorism. The song and message behind it have been covered by international media.
The campaign was the brainchild of Waseem Mahmood, author and media consultant, who took inspiration for the project from his children, who were tired of the way a minority of misguided young people were putting forward a message of radicalisation and terrorism which was at odds with what the majority of Muslims believe. The central message of the song is that of reconciliation, peace and truth, and is intended as the voice of the silent majority of Pakistanis who are saddened and shocked at the high-jacking of Islam by terrorists, and want to stand up and shout "This is Not Us". "Yeh Hum Naheen" was written in Urdu by Ali Moeen in words that are simple and meant to reach a wide-ranging audience. The music was composed by Shuja Haider. "Yeh Hum Naheen" not only topped MTV Asia and Pakistani charts but also made its presence felt on the British charts.
