Even though Zubeen da is no longer physically present, he has not left the world and will continue to live on forever.”

A shopkeeper woman, carrying her child on her shoulder, added, “Zubeen da was a warm-hearted man, always helping the needy. Because of him, we are able to sustain our homes. We spend the whole day here selling, and it gives us hope and dignity.”
