It’s Malika-e-Taranum, the glorious queen of melody, Madam Noor Jehan’s barsi. Listening to her melodious voice is like having a hot cup of cardamom tea on a chilly December night; it leaves a warm subtle sensation up one’s spine. Although, a lot of us have listened to a number of Madam Noor Jehan’s songs in her quintessentially enchanting and velvety voice, there are still a few under-appreciated yet remarkable classics of Noor Jehan that not a lot us have had an honor to appreciate.
In honor of her death anniversary, here are some of the less-talked about yet incredibly chirpy songs of Malika-e-Taranum for your listening pleasure:
1. Bao Jee Main Ik Arz Karan
2. Pyar Nalon Payre Sajna
3. Ae Jaan-e-Wafa
4. Dukhaye Dil Jo Kisi Ka Who Aadmi Kia Hai
5. Puthay Seedhe Boday Pa Kay
6. Meri Chichi Da, Challa Mahi La Liya
7. Je Main Hundi Dholna
8. Kee Dam Da Bharosa Yar
9. Main Tey Mera Dilabar Jani
10. Kabhi Kitabon Main
11. Main Tey Mera Dilbar Jani
12. Dhiyan Raniyan
13. And the ever green Sada Ho Apne Pyar Ki
