I am not too sure but she is also said to have learnt music from GA Forooq of Kirana school of thought in Lahore. With choices of mentors like Begum Akhtar and alike, Nayyar Noor had to be a strong exponent of Ghazal singing amalgamating their styles.
She was given the title of Malika-e-Ghazal also. As she crooned numbers like Marajo’s geet “Barkha Ke Lakhon Teer Dil Per Kaise Sahoon Mein”, with full-throated ease, one was struck by the limpid flow and mellifluousness in her renditions’.On the contrary I feel that she sang with soft tones and yes, with ease. Nayarra is reported to have been associated with Professor Assar for about five years wherein she also sang his music compositions.Ībout her formative days, veteran musicologist and journalist Asif Noorani writes in his submission in Dawn newspaper ‘It was sometime in the early 1970s, when PTV enjoyed monopoly and presented some fine programmers, that we saw a girl-next-door type, looking somewhat emaciated, regaling music lovers with lovely ditties in programmers like Akkar Bakker, Such Gap and Tal Matol. The professor was attending a musical evening at National College of Arts and Nayarra was singing a Bhajan ‘Jo Tum Toro Piya’ from the movie ‘Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baje’ in the concert when the professor picked her up.
Her father was an active member of the Muslim League and in 1958, the family moved to Pakistan.ĭiscovery: Nayyara was discovered by Professor Asrar Ahmad from Islamia College, Lahore. About the presence of mysterious sadness and haunting impact in her melodies, it must have been due to the influence of the green landscape of Asaam. Nayyara Noor was born on Friday, Novemin Assam, India.įamily: Nayyara’s family was a business oriented one hailing from Amritsar that had settled in Guwahati in Assam State in the North-Eastern India. These traits reflected in her voice also. During this time, I found Nayyara Noor’s personality very amiable, educated and cultured. The latter had started giving more time to PTV after playing a successful innings in Lollywood. Then we were paired together by another talented music producer Shehnshah Nawab for Allama Iqbal’s poem “Bahazoor Risalat-e-Ma’ab” in 1983 in the music of Khalil Ahmad. The latter was partner of music composer Khayyam with the name Verma Ji-Sharma Ji before the creation of Pakistan. The lyrics of the song were “Dil Bhi Hai Tera Mehrban” penned by Adeem Hashmi and its music was given by Rehman Verma.
We sang our first song together for Pakistan Television Corporation’s music programme ‘Sangat’ hosted by me and produced by talented music producer Rafiq Ahmad Warraich.
I have known Nayyara Noor since the time she started singing for Pakistan Television.
