Wing Commander Captain Mustafa Zaidi, popularly known as Capt Zaidi, developed intimate contact with local Sardars of Maiwand and Kahan. The local waderas and common people enjoyed respect from him and he was known well in the areas deep inside the tribal territory.
An electricity line was completed during the tenure of Capt Zaidi, who had been successful in winning the hearts of quite a number of fararis, including Rahim Khan, personal body guard of Nawadb Khair Bux Marri. The Wing Commander, Capt Zaidi enjoyed very good relations with Late Nawab Kaiser Khan, the elder brother of Nawab Khair Bux.

Con el calor de una sonrisa
Y el perfume de la brisa
Llegas tú, llegas tú
Pequeña como los luceros
Y diciéndome un te quiero
Llegas tú, llegas tú
No sé si estás
Pensando en realidad
Que eres mi verdad
Que cada día más
Te quiero
Ven enseñame a soñar
Pues sabes que al marchar
No te podré abrazar (2x)
Si todo el mundo fuera mío
Las estrellas ó el rocío
Fueras tú, fueras tú
Y dando tumbos al vacío
Volaríamos unidos
Porque yo, porque yo
No sé si estás
Pensando en realidad
Que eres mi verdad
Que cada día más
Te quiero
Ven enseñame a soñar
Pues sabes que al marchar
No te podré abrazar (2x)
Te quiero
Ven enseñame a soñar
Pues sabes que al marchar
No te podré abrazar (2x)
