Obituary: Nayyara Noor — the self-effacing nightingale

Noor — who gained the honorific title of Bublbul-i-Pakistan — was the recipient of the President’s Pride of Performance award.

Obituary: Nayyara Noor — the self-effacing nightingale​

What distinguished Noor from her contemporaries, and perhaps from a couple of her illustrious predecessors, was the ease and facility with which she sang Urdu poetry. Ghazal singing had been in vogue for decades, and she was brilliant at that — Behzad Lackhnavi’s Ay jazba-i-dil gar main chahun is a prime example — but it was her rendition of nazms written in free verse that carved a niche for her in the world of music. The poem Kabhi hum khubsurat thay used as the soundtrack for a TV serial Teesra Kinara in the late 1970s is loved to date and sung by modern-day vocalists.

In that context, her collaboration with composer Arshad Mahmud cannot be under-emphasised. He set Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s iconic poems to music and gave them to Noor to sing. Both the words and the tunes could intimidate a lesser singer, not Noor. She had a consuming passion for singing and poetry in equal measure. As a result, music and literature buffs were treated to masterpieces such as Aaj bazaar mein pabijonla chalo and Merey qaatil merey dildaar merey paas raho.

And by the way this is Asif Ali Khan Santoo, and not Nusrat Fateh Ali
