Inaam, you are the best. Thanks for these gifts...its so exciting...thanks for the message as well...yesterday I slept early so checked it today only....thanks for everything....meri heart ki ek desire to Noor Jehan ki awaaz hai jo aap pura kar sakte ho

Inaam, thanks a lot..just heard the two songs...it feels wonderful I had heard them in past but quality is great and those extra stanzas and aalaaps are mesmerizing.....you must share some more of such versions which have that something extra

Dekho dekho re julm once again kept me thinking that Noor Jehan should have sung many more semi-classical/classical songs, she was a veritable genius in them.

Lyrics Master Inayat's Fav Lyricist Qateel Shifai :-)

Yeah Most of the Songs are complete in Movies Sound Tracks
its pity really that EMI / HMV edited them when they got them transferred to Records or Tape or even when they re-recorded them..they edited them.

Yes, I remember watching program 'Sur Geet' on PTV and this song was played in the episode dedicated to Qateel Shifai. BTW, you seem to be a new member so welcome to this forum and HF. Please find time to introduce yourself

Inaam maharaj, ab aap kahan gaye

I am here dear I was away yaar, kal raat hi aaya hoon Karachi sey... I am glade you liked the songs,

Waah Kya andaaz hai Dr Saab Maan gaye aapko, kesa bar-mouq, aur bar-mahal sher likha hai

A very very belated Happy Birthday Pulkit - sorry yaar - been so busy lately. Hope you had a great birthday and that all your dreams and wishes for the future come true.

Unfortunately I don't have any new Noor Jehan gems to share - all out now

... but I thought I could fix some more pictures from Shaukat Hussain Rizvi's book on Noor Jehan. So below are four more pictures from the book - hope you enjoy them (also remembering Priya now as she loved rare pictures - if you have her contact email please send these on to her too)
