The news of the death of pop star Nazia Hassan on Sunday, August 13, 2000, spread like wildfire. Within seconds, the Internet, newspapers and the rest of the news media around the globe were flashing news of her final journey.
Amidst the sobs and tears, almost every one had one thing in mind, i.e., “God Almighty had showered Nazia with all the bounties, except length of age.”
Listen to songs by Nazia Hassan
One could easily rank her as the first and foremost pop singer of Asia, generally and the Indo-pak subcontinent in particular. Born in a well to do, highly enlightened family in 1965, she had shown an aptitude for music from her earlier days.As a young child, she frequently appeared in Pakistan television’s music program for children, called “Sang Sang”. Sohail Rana was the lead person of that show. Her father Baseer and her mother Muneeza took great interest in the upbringing and education of Nazia and her younger brother, Zohaib. Both of these gifted kids were admitted to school in London, where they received education as well as lessons in music.
In 1978, in England, thirteen year old Nazia recorded a song “Aap jaisa koi meri zindigi mein Aaye, tou baath bun jaaye” (film: Qurbani, music:Biddu, lyrics: Indeevar, picturised on Zeenat Aman). “Aap jaisa koi” is considered the first pop song of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent, the greatest achievement of Nazia, hence, a milestone in her music career.
In 1979, both Nazia and Zohaib came out with their first music album “Disco Deewanay”, which happened to be a record breaking collection of pop songs. She became the heart-throb of teenagers with songs like:
Nazia was married to an enterpreneur, Ishtiaq Beig, in 1995, with whom she had a son, Areez, in 1997. She had been battling against cancer since 1996 and eventually succumed to it on Sunday morning. She was only 35 years old.
An admirer of Nazia had confided in me the other day: “How could this happen to such a decent girl, with a sweet voice, who had brought happiness to the lives of millions of music lovers around the world. Oh God, why Nazia?”
“Nazia had, indeed, walked all the steps, which had been ordained for her by an authority, which is greater than any human agency”, I answered calmly.
She was such a refreshing voice of south asia. She was simply the best ! Don’t know why GOD always takes good people so early.
We all love you !

SAMEE MANGI
Nazia was the best singer in the whole world. May her soul rest in peace.
Even though I was not much into Hindi Music, The first hindi music touched my heart was Nazia and Zoheb Hassan’s songs and I was really into their whole passion. I have been still listening to their music, but I cannot enjoy much as I could earlier, it gives me a pain that I cannot explain since My dear Nazia is no more…So I believe that there is no God. She was not a only a singer,but also she was a reformer she is still the Goddess to every one. If I ever go Heaven I will surly meet her..
All my thanks and respect go to their parents as they have born and brought up them to be the most wonderful offspring in the world. And my tears still fall for my Dearest Nazia. Where ever she is she may leave in peace as she was with us here..
NO DOUBT SHE WAS TOPPER SINGER BUT IT IS NOT A HUMAN TARGET IN THE WORLD AS MUSIC IS FORBIDDEN BY ALLAH.ALLAH IS WHO WHOM CREAT YOU ME,AND NAZIA HUSSAN,,,,,,,,,,ANY WHO SHE WAS MUSLIM AND KNOWS ABOUIT ALLAH AND HIS KNOWLEDGE.MAY ALLAH BLEES HIS BAKSHISH ON HER.BY……… THINK IN LONLY
Nazia hassan: i have never met her but she was so decent and goodlooking. She was fighting for her life as well as going through a divorcce proceeding . What bad luck.i read that report on internet about her husband ISHTIAQ BAIG, saying that nazia family did not like her bc she was earning hand and her family depended on her.What a joke!She was born in england and was forign educated, did nazia start earning the day she was born? Or did Ishtiaqs family provide for them? maybe now that his sister has died,he would have become more compassionate.May her soul rest in peace.There can be nobody like her.she was my idol and i would have given anything to have met her once.Where is she buried? I would like to visit her.Now that she is no more with us, her husband should refrain from saying anything bad about her.The fact remains that she was alone ,when she died.just writing this much, has turned my heart to lead.i can only pray for her
What a great singer and a voice. I will miss her forever. My best wishes for her family. May God she rests heaven.
she is the best singer of the world . we all miss her. may ALLAH rest her soul in heaven.
my best wishes are always with her family especially with ZOHAIB HASSAN who always stand with him.may ALLAH give patience to her family and always complete their wishes and pray.
HAPPY EID MUBARAK TO NAZIA’s family from ALIRAZA LASHARI
Heart can only be touched with love, Anyone who can touch your heart become’s a great person. Nazia touched everyone’s heart and brought joy to them. Yes definately the first Indo-Pak pop singer. My prayers are with Nazia n family. Nazia is missed in physical being But her music fulfills that emptyness…..VJ
