The Fault is Mine) is a 2014 Pashtu language single[1] by Pakistani Soft Alternative rock band Naseer & Shahab.[2] It was released on August 23, 2014 as a digital download.

The video depicts a female protagonist regularly visits her lover's memorial after he was lost at sea. Every time, she leaves a seashell at the site as a totem of remembrance, not knowing that she has woken him up from a limbo in another dimension of reality. He wanders aimlessly until the seashells in his pocket, which he has collected in the past, remind him that he has passed on. A strange entity guides him towards the next seashell. He knows she is there. He follows it hastily, hoping that he can reach it before she leaves. He finds the seashell and tries to send a message back with it. But she has already started walking away. She feels it and turns back to see if it's real but it’s already too late. She would visit again and he is hoping to reach back to her next time, in time."
