Beautiful soft voice and soul. Pakistanis will always remember her. Her songs brings the fond memories and love whenever we hear her songs and see videos. My six year old son sings her Pakistani patriotic songs here in US. I wish and hope she is recognized at the national level by Pakistan govt. for giving us those beautiful patriotic songs.
