[mustahzar]

Ever Green.

[ufdtrust]

My Goodness. This reminds of my teenage time. I loved it that time and one song of Zafar Iqbal Zafri. I Miss those lovely moments. Oh God lost every thing.

[humayunahmed]

In lonesome wilds,

O sweet love !

With tender passion,

Thy remembrance has so much soothed-

my anguished heart,

That though it is yet the dawn of the day of separation,

It seems to have gone down,

And the night of love's union has come already.

[humayunahmed]

Blossom the jasmine and roses of thy loving embrace,

Rises the warmth of thy breath,

As if you were near me,

Burning slowly in its own incense.

Far away , beyond the horizon,

From thy bewitching eyes-

trickles the glistening dew,

drop by drop.

[humayunahmed]

Sorrows of Faiz : translated by Amicus Curiae (printed in Dawn Letters to the Editior in 1988. Its cutting being carried in my wallet for past 22 years)

Throb the echoes of thy voice,

Thrills the mirage of thy lips;

In lonesome wilds,

Far away from thee,

Under weeds and dust,

[SoniyaZabava]

WONDERFULL VOICE!THANKS!

[muhammadyousafkhan]

What a nazam sung by respectable Iqbal Bano who has sung it with deep emotions. She is a wonderful singer whose voice touches the heart and soul of all music lovers. She is one of the best singers served Pakistan. Being a music lover I am really admirer of Mohtarma Iqbal Bano. The presentation of wording of this nazam which is also a piece of art, nobody make him silent without praising this piece of art.

[bolansaltish]

it is really like a song of cocukoo in the desert.

[drammad]

By Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Translated by Ayesha Kaljuvee

Sung by Iqbal Bano

[MadeinTaiwan100]

dasht-e-tanhaai mein, ai jaan-e-jahaan, larzaan hain

In the desert of my solitude, oh love of my life, quiver

teri avaaz ke saaye,

the shadows of your voice,

tere honthon ke saraab

the mirage of your lips

[Swan656]

Faiz Ahmed Faiz.

Masterpiece Poetry. Immense.

[Nadeemfsd12]

Great!

[urduwala]

bano sahiba ! will live in my heart for ever.!

[MrYazzful]

she was a limit to caress or touch ,,no one could ever touch that kind of gazal singing ,,she was so good in that,,thnx

[Uvraajsingh]

In Ghazal singing I think there is galaxy of great Pakistani singers - she is truly one of these gems.

Farida Khanum, Suriya Multanicar, Noor Jehan, Munni Begum, Habib Wali, Muhammed The great Mehdi Hasan, Ghulam Ali, Ustad Amant Ali, Tahira Syed, Asad Amant Wali and the list goes on and on.

I do not have right words to praise them

[deepsidhu3]

Amazing voice and oh so sublime, yet I can understand only some of the words. I have been coming again and again to listen to this one ghazal. It is her voice and her ability to sing so effortlessly. I love her singing.

[Swan656]

May soul rest in Peace!

[bigroughryder]

beautiful

[pervezak]

Rest In peace.Iqbal bano.

[aareyan90]

heart Ghazal

[fakhranwer]

Touches your heart.. So pure..

[mjcrobinson]

Utterly sublime. One of the most beautiful and heart-wrenching things I have ever heard. And I can't understand a word.....

[sarahonki]

She will live forever

[aritheeagle]

A Diva of Classical Ghazal - Iqbal Bano's voice shall resonate with its energy forever.

God Bless her. Saw her perform live many years ago.

[bilalrubbani]

may her soul rest in peace AMIN

[lalam1354]

what a combination of a poet,singer and musician !it has to be more than a song.just take one of them out, and see what remains, is like the rain in the sun.

[dilbar0786]

beeeeeeeeeeeeautiful

[zafarahsan100]

May Allah rest her in peace.

If Noor 'mujh se pehli si muhabbat', Mehdi 'gulon me rang bhare' and Bano 'daste tanhai' had not sung these immortal numbers perhaps the message of Faiz towards human causes would have been limited given the readership data.

The effectiveness of music in carrying a message is undisputed and the established singers knowingly or otherwise have shared this honour with great poets.

Long live the poet of humanity Faiz and his singers.

[desiachar]

Rest in Peace. You will be greatly missed in Bangladesh as well.

[mughni1234]

Allah Inki maghfrat farmaye aur apne jawre rehmat main jigh aata farmaye.(AMEEN)

[qaiserwaraich1]

waht a loss,,,,,,,,,she passed away ,may her soul rest in peace

[fareedq]

what a beautiful, beautiful ghazal.

[imranabid]

may God bless her soul..

[eacans]

yes she passed away on 22 April, 2009.

[eacans]

very talented...I am appalled by the fact that very few people turned up at her funeral, especially from the film and music industry.

[dibadasa]

She will be missed...

"Dhal gaya hijr ka din aa bhi gaii wasl ki raat."

[haripur83]

yes she left us...she was one of the greatest lady ... MAY GOD  BLESS HER ...

[Jattforevr]

She just left this world May Allah blesed her with peace and gardens from heaven.
