In 2006, the Palestinian singer and musicologist Reem Kelani set one of Rashid’s poems to music in her song Yearning.[17] The track was published on her album Sprinting Gazelle – Palestinian Songs from the Motherland and the Diaspora. According to Kelani, the title of Husain’s poem translates literally as 'Thoughts and Echoes', but she 'chose the English title to reflect my own yearning, and probably that of Husain, for freedom from our personal and collective sense of siege.'
