Indian-born Pakistani Legendary singer Nayyara Noor dies, Pak PM ... (WION)

Legendary Pakistani Singer Nayyara Noor is no more. The melody queen, who was fondly known as Bulbul-e-Pakistan, passed away at the age of 71.

She was given the title of ‘Bulbul-e-Pakistan’ because of her melodious voice. Nayyara had no musical background and in her childhood, she was first inspired by the voice of actor and singer Karan Devi's Bhajans and Begum Akhtar's ghazals and thumris. I remember our last meeting and discussion at her place. She had moved beyond the worldly desires onto a serene and spiritual space with so much wisdom. She was our nightingale. And we are very lucky to have grown up listening to you. Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif also mourned the loss and tweeted, ''The death of famous singer Nayyara Noor is an irreparable loss to the music world. Be it a ghazal or a song, whatever she sang, she sang perfectly. Later, she started singing in radio programmes at her university. On Sunday, August 21, the news of her death was confirmed by her nephew Rana Zaidi. Noor breathed her last in Karachi. The melody queen, who was fondly known as Bulbul-e-Pakistan, passed away at the age of 71.
