No one I believe sang Faiz saab like Nayyara Noor has. Her sweet, enchanting and magical voice transcends the listener to a feeling that’s hard to express. One such great composition by the great Arshad Mehmood is for this ghazal Phir Aaina E Alam.
I fell in love with it the first time I heard it on a TV show. And then, now that I’ve got the mp3 version of it, I am sharing it hear for all the admirers of Faiz saab and Nayyara Noor. Listen to this one, it’s simply brilliant and a class act and represents so much that’s going around in this ill fated country.

Hi… thanks. I fully agree with you: Nayyara Noor has no match when it comes singing gazhals of Faiz sahib.
I wish I could meet her.
Its a pity that sarhad pe lage hai tale.
I hope you do someday. Yeah it’s a shame that people like you and us have to pay the price of dirty politics. But thank you for appreciating.
Incidentally I just heard this after a long time on Indus Vision rerun of Tribute to Faiz (must be 6 years or so older)… it brought tears to my eyes, such is the power of Faiz’s verses and when it is given Nayyara’s soulful voice it is absolutely mindblowing for a thinker…. Yes so relevant, thanks for the mp3… I can now hear it whenever, which may just be daily
love the effort, unfortunately the audio is too low, can something be done about that
Thanks for appreciating Suhail. I know the audio quality isn’t great. I will try finding a better version soon.
That’s the same program where I first heard this and it was magical. It grew upon me in that very moment, and all praise to Nayyara Noor who sang it SO well.
Another year, yet this soulful rendering and its profound lyrics continue to haunt me…. pity Ms Nayyara is not singing anymore… I wish she returns back to the arts again and brings verdancy to our parched existences
Couldn’t agree more…. Very poignant lyrics and rendered beautifully….
hey thanks a load for this
