Pride of Pakistan.

There will be no other Noorjehan in this world. She was truly Benazir like Benazir Bhutto - the two most prominent women of Pakistan's history.

I love her like my mum. She has no substitute. She is the national heroine. May God rest her soleinJannaha

50% score is not bad!!!

@Kaka what about Dilip kumar

Frankly speaking, when i was kid, i dint like Noor Jehan's songs...but as i grew up with the passage of time and attained maturity, i became admirer of Noor Jehan's artistical contributions. She started appearing beautiful to me.

i replied eight right answers out of ten

3/10 .. 2 guesses, 1 in my knowledge. I do deserve Sitara-e-imtiaz. :P

She is the best singer of Pakistan both in Urdu n Punjabi songs.

I am proud to be Noorjehan Enthusiast.

Truly she was "Light of the world". "Noor Jehan". NO LESS NO MORE.

7! Thanks to some info by Manto's Noor-Jehan Saroor-e-Jan.

9/10

She was a good artist, par exellance. However, it is common in Indo/Pak to diefy entertainment performers to the hilt. Her initiation into the Film Industry has been described by Saadat Manto in his book as not being an icon of piety. This is what we are good at by putting entertainers on a very high pedestal.

She had 5 sisters and 6 brothers. All others are well unknown.

she is one of my fav singers

she was a great patriotic singer.

60% Right.......An Ode To Madame Noor Jehan........Immortal

A close friend of noor jehan said that madam would cook karelas herself,and they were the best.

True Pakistani Legend singer and beautiful person. Admiration to millions around the world.

70 % sorry Malika,I thought I knew everything about you except your marital life because that was never my concern.

General Yahya Khan was the biggest fan of 'Malika-e-Tarannum’.

very talented woman

Her voice cannot be compared to the TRUE LEGENDS of South Asia, LATA MANGESHKAR or indeed,ASHA BHONSLE. Although NOOR JAHAN sang ghazals perfectly,her filmi vocals sound "too high pitched and goat voiced",to be honest, and with no disrespect intended.This does not take away the immense popularity she enjoyed in ALL of South Asia. That is to say,she certainly KNEW how to sing as a trained singer and with perfect diction but with an imperfect voice.

Noorjahan was a true Legend. Love her songs, specially her renditions of Faiz Ahmed Faiz's poems. Who can forget national songs... Aa Watan Ke Sajeeley Jawano Noorjahan had powerful voice, extremely expressive, throw of voice was superb. Thanks Madam for giving joy and pleasure to us all.

70%... Im disappointed :/

She was a great singer.

90% correct.

Ya I am great fan of Noorjehan. I have not read books about her but used to follow the articles written about her curiously. Lathaji just could not imitate Noorjehanji's style in her beginning career. This great singer was a bridge for both India and Pakistan undoubtedly.

Great singer, daring person. Love her songs, so many of them. Mujh se Pehli si mohabbat mere meh boon na mang, or Hamari Samson mein aaj tek woh Hina ki khusbu

6/10

@COLIN Both Noorjahan and Lata were good friends. They respected each other and stayed in touch.

She was a good singer but not exceptional.In her middle age quality of her voice deteriorated & her Urdu songs were not the same as before.I believe she reliesed it and turned to Punjabi singing.May god Bless her.

She was indeed the ultimate when it came to beauty in terms of voice and looks. Her facial expressions, grace, "ada" and "nakhra" in femininity remains unmatched to this date. She was one of a kind ultimate female born in the last 100 years.

I am from India.I consider my score of 7/10 is not bad. Noor Jehan was a great singer. Thanks to You Tube we have excess to her songs from India and Pakistan both.

I got 100% right!

SHE SHALL BE MISSED

I can write a book on my great AUNT, I spent most of my youth at her family house @ liberty roundabout, Lahore, now when I drive past, it just bring back sweet memories when I was around her, very few people actually know the REAL NOOR JEHAN>>I am blessed of growing up in her family..

6/10. Not Bad.

Madam Noorjahan (Mohtarma) was a born maestro with divine blessings. She is the greatest, immortal, larger than life artist and a world citizen Indian subcontinent ever produced who touched more than 1.6 billion hearts with her melody. I bow with affection and utmost reverence to this great soul.

@Syed Irfan Ali Beynazir, corrupt to the core, twice dismissed from office, several cases of embazzlement. Plz do not compare with Noor Jehan.

I have not read a single buigraphy of Madam Noor Jehan

@mahesh mehta - I would rate 7/10 as very good.

@Kaka Say pride of the sub-continent

@Kaka - Wrong Pride of south asia. She is as much ours, as she is yours.

@Syed Irfan Ali At least Noor JAHAN was not corrupt.

Noorjahan not only pride for pakistan but india also, great star and great singer, Awaaj de kahan he ... never forgeted.

80%.

Well she might be a good singer.. She monopolized the film industry and music directors not to take any new voice in the films .. Not everybody abide though .. I am sure she must have ruined carreers of many other talented singers.. Same way as Lata did on the other side of the border. Being a good singer is one thing and being selfish is other

its graet to know that i knew 8 out of 10 but still feel i followed her all old movies including chanve shams

Watched her in Youtube singing her songs herself from Anmol Ghadi - 1946 Her voice was as beautiful as she was.

She was also pride of India. Still remember her song, Bajre da Chitta asi, tali te...

Second to none.

79 percent is pretty good. I grew up liking her distinctly different voice, my most favorite being The songs from Anmol Ghadi and Jugnu.

10/10 RIP Noor Jehan!

9/10. but i am not her's biggest fan.

Noor Jehangir sang her all time best songs in British India. For refreshing the memory of her fans listed below are some of her unforgettable numbers. - "Diya Jalakar Aag Bujhaya..." (BADI MAAN) - " Aa Intez at Hai Tera..." (BADI MAAN) - " Kis Tarah Bhoolega Dil..." (Gaon KI Gori) -

@COLIN you have your own views but I think Lata's voice was also too thin and I like Noor Jahan's voice quality better. Lata was monotonous in her singing and sang all songs with the same voice while Noor Jahan was vibrant, each song sounds different. The voice quality sounds different, the expressions are richer. Lata sang sad songs nicely, in happy songs she sounded sad as well. Come to classical both Noor Jahan and Lata were Maestros. Both could easily touch low and high notes. Noor Jahan has easily touched the G5 note without letting her voice go whistle.

She IS the BEST thing EVER happened to pakistan,there is NO ONE like Madam Noor jehan.

Great singer of the century. May God keep her in piece.

These kinds of personalities don’t belong to any country. They rules in everyone hearts.

undoubtedly NOOR JEHAN will be in the HEART of 19th century music loving people.

She was the best..... nobody can match her singing ability....

Mai! she was the greatest.

May God Almighty bless her soul in peace and solace at the Jannat-ul-Firdous. Aameen, Tsum Aameen.

Sorry noor Jehan music is very dated. It is not her fault,but Pakistani film music that she sang,was stuck in 1940's. They never even improved on sound. Only great music that came out of Pakistan is pop music,with it's originality ! Even that people who should have invested to take pop music even higher levels,took their money home! This so sad, the pak population is young ,people that control tv and radio, that have money,do not want invest, in young singers, bands, seriously!

@COLIN What an inappropriate, disgraceful comment. It is absolutely foolish to compare voices. Noor Jehan stands alone in her rendering of musical compositions. Can your "TRUE LEGEND" Lata Mangeshkar sing Boojh Mera kya Naam Re, or Leke Pehla Pehla Pyar, sung by Shamshad Begum, as well. Can your "LEGEND" Asha Bhonsle do justice to the song, Mohe Bhool Gaye Sanwariya? There are many examples I can give but your comment is not about Noor Jehan, its about your ignorance of myriads, music with lyrics and without encapsulates. Noor Jehan's popularity does not depend upon your type of comments. She was an Artiste incomparable.

I like Dawn quizzes , kindly make quiz on daily basis .
