Should have been photographed sans the broad leaved plant in background. Still the flowering plant with whorled leaves looks like Galium rotundifolium.

I have never seen or read about G. rotundifolium with more than 4 leaves in a whorl. This is more likely G. hirtiflorum (syn: G. ciliatum) which according to eFlora of Pakistan has 4-6 leaves. Leaves clearly match this species, but then there is another catch both eFlora of China and FBI mention 4 leaves in a whorl, and my experience has shown that it is not always reliable to depend on eFlora of Pakistan.

This looks different from Galium hirtiflorum as per GBIF.

I think it is close to Galium hoffmeisteri as per GBIF. Pl. see specimens below:
