A date with Nazia Hassan the evergreen beautiful pop queen of the 80s


A tribute to the melodious,talented beautiful singer from Pakistan..


Tere kadmon ko chumoonga mujhe tu paas aane de.....a Nazia song dedicated to herself...

Aap Jaisa koi mere zindagi main aaye to baat ban jaaye.... haan haan baat ban jaaaye... the song speaks itself for the beautiful,talented and elegant singer Nazia Hassan.......... I grew up listening to her songs Disco deewane and Aap jaisa koi mere zindagi main aaye...from the movie Qurbani...The only thing that I knew about Nazia Hassan was that she is from Pakistan and she and Zohaib Hassan are a hit pair.I started exploring my passion for music in my college days when I used to buy Audio Cassettes and listen to so many songs in my stereo player.I have the habit of listening to different artists both national and international.So everyday I used to visit the music shops to buy something new or other.It was then I came to know about the different pop Albums of Nazia and Zohaib hassan...I still remeber the first audio Cassette I bought of Nazia was 'Young Tarang' and I really liked all the tracks in that... I enjoyed the album with the melodious and sensual voice of Nazia and afterwards I got hold of 2 more albums 'Camera Camera' and 'Hotline'. I liked each and every track of all the albums the music they composed the lyrics they wrote and also their great voice. The songs which I liked the most are 'Dam dam dee dee dam dam, 'Aag de de aag le le',Camera Camera, Zara chehra to dikhao,Kya hua,jaana (One of my all time fav), Momma papa. At that time I did not even know the other album which I missed out..named 'Boom Boom/Star'(Songs from Boom boom were were such major hits that they were included in the Kumar Gaurav starrer movie 'Star'composed by Bidu).But later on after years.. when Bidu came up with a remix version of the 'Boom Boom' album in the 90's I came to know about the album and I was really surprised that howcome I missed such wonderful tracks and album of Nazia and Zohaib?Anywayz I really enjoyed all the songs of the album and continued listening to Nazia's greta voice for years.I never got bored with the albums. Eachtime I listen to each of her album I felt really fresh.

Days passed by,life moved on with lot of ups n downs and happenings.I graduated from college and got into so many things, but Nazia and her voice still continued to be a part of my life.At that Computers and Internet were pretty exclusive and rare items.If someone would have a computer at home then he was regarded as a rich and luxurious person.So all the informations and news we would know that would be either by TV, Books,News papers or magazines.So i was not atall aware of Nazia's personal life and much about her musical career.Again those days that was the pick point of my career build up so I was so busy concentrating on my studies and job hunting.And in the course I did not even realise that Nazia Hassan the so young and beautiful singer who was full of life was sufferring from lung cancer and struggling for life. So i did not even know that she lost the battle in the year 2000.It was there in news for sure in news papers,TV and other mediums but its so strange that I could not even know that Nazia was no longer on this earth. That's the saddest part.

Now when I left home and came here to New Delhi to stand on my own in the year 2003-2004 it was almost 3-4 years that Nazia left the world.Look at the irony that for me even at that time Nazia was still alive.I had to leave all my music collections at home though I wanted to bring those along with me I could not i was heavily loaded with other stuffs.Later on here in new Delhi when I organised myself I took a home Internet connection and I caught hold of almost all the albums of Nadia and Zohaib and I was really happy for that.I again continued to listen to my sweet Nazia and her sweet voice.I was actually falling for her voice big time.I tried to search for informations about her and then came the big shock of my life. I discovered that Nazia is actually nomore and its difficult for me to write here how I felt at that point of time.Before the love in my life could come in it went away soooo far that it could not even come back.I was all depressed and sad I but did not get much hated myself that howcome I was not aware of all these things all these years and I was under this impression that Nazia was alive and rocking.Today when I was looking for Nadia's life history, her musical career I explored so many facts that I was not even aware of. I came to see this beautiful,gorgeous girl's photographs who have rocked Another collage of Nadia made by me click on it to see a larger versionaway as the pop queen of the 80's with Zohaib Hassan. And believe me I almost felt.. so low and and deeply sad..to explore this gorgeous young pop queen's life history.Its pretty unbelievable that at such a young age she left the world and she is no more with us.But her voice,her songs and her memories are.. and willalways remain alive in all of our hearts and memories. I did not know this personal side of Nazia Hassan. Who I came to know was a wonderful person at heart,soft spoken and so down to earth.Its really aching that such a talent is no more with us.Before she could taste the real flavours of life she was taken away.She left a realsweet kid behind her.

Did you know ??
In 1978, in England, thirteen-year-old Nazia recorded a song "Aap jaisa koi meri zindigi mein Aaye, to baath bun jaaye" (film: Qurbani, music: Biddu, lyrics: Indeevar, pictured on Zeenat Aman).


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Aap jaisa koi" is considered the first pop song of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent, the greatest achievement of Nazia, hence, and a milestone in her music career.


Disco Deewane First album 1979

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 heartthrob of teenagers with songs like: Komal palkain bojhal,Boom boom,Dum dum, dee dee,Aaona pyar karain, and many more.


Nazia was married to an entrepreneur, Ishtiaq Baig, in 1995, with whom she had a son, Areez, in 1997.She had been battling against cancer since 1996 and eventually succumbed to it onSunday morning. She was only 35 years old.




The news of the death of pop star Nazia Hasan 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 the 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.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Alisha Chinai's hit song "Made in India", which marked the birth of Indian pop music, was originally written for Pakistani pop star Nazia Hassan. But in an illustration of the region's obsession with borders, the sub-continent's first disco diva of the pre-MTV era turned the song down. The late Hassan, an intensely political person, was the first Pakistani artiste to win a Filmfare award and towards the end of her life, saw herself as a symbol of "youth culture" for the whole sub-continent. Yet she told song-writer and music director Biddu she could not bring herself to sing something likely to offend - in different ways – her fans in Pakistan and India. She is loved across the border, as much as she is within.The news of the death of pop star Nazia Hasan on Sunday, August 13, 2000, spread like wildfire.




No matter what 'Nazia' here in this fast pace 21st Century where people are becoming more westernised and tech slaves noone remembers the people of the past.They were soon fading away in our memories this is a tribute to a sweetheart like you to keep you alive in all our hearts forever and ever.We have been, we are and we will be missing you big time 'Nazia'.May your soul rest in pease.You'd be turly missed.I love you......'Nazia'
