Dhaani (Urdu: دھانی, literal English translation: "light green") was the fourth album by the Pakistanipop band Strings, released in 2003. Singles from the album were "Mera Bichara Yaar", "Soniyae", "Chaaye Chaaye", "Pal", "Bolo Bolo", "Dhaani", "Najane Kyun", "Hai Koi Hum Jaisa" and "Kahani Mohabbat Ki".
Dhaani means light green. It has come from a word called 'Dhaan' that is the outer covering of a raw grain of rice (kacha chawal ka daana). The green color of that grain is called dhaani.
Dhaani, the first song of the album is a blend of Faisal's groovy voice and Bilal Maqsood's guitars. Next in line is "Najane Kyun". It's a soft number, which gives the signature sound of Strings followed by "Kahany Mohabat ki" and "Mera Bichara Howa Yaar". Sohniye", a unique and extremely jumpy number, is a treat to listen to. "Bolo Bolo" features Hariharan and 'Pal' featuring Sagarika has excellent background music and lyrics. "Chaaye Chaaye" is the liveliest.[2]
According to Bilal, Dhaani is directly related to nature if you closely go through its lyrics. The lyrics have many references to nature such as in the title track one constantly hears words like badal (clouds), nadiya (rivers) and more. Also when the duo were composing the tunes in Murree for about a month they were more exposed to the exotic beauty of the Northern areas and that gave them the idea of having green patches and open skies on the album cover.[3]
