I am greatly saddened by Mehnaz departure. A great singer and person. She lent her voices to many of some of my fathers hit movies. Her songs in Pehchan "Mera pyar tereh jeewan keh sang rahe gha" comes to mind. Mehnaz, "aap ki awaz hamarah saath hamasha rahi ghi". Allah aap ko Janat anseeb kare
Now, our media will show her songs and programs, as she is no more in this world.
RIP Mehnaz. We will miss you dearly. Your voice illuminated our hearts to the beauty of your songs and music. May Allah Almighty give you a choicest place in Jannatul Firdous. Ameen
For People Like Me, Who Grew Up Listening To The ' Radio Pakistan ' And Watching ' Pakistan Television PTV ' Once Only Two Media Mediums In Pakistan, It's Too Difficult To Believe The Reality That ' Legends ' Once We Saw And Heard Are No More With Us ..... Or They Will Ever Leave This Materialistic World !
May Almighty God Bless Her Soul The Eternal Peace ( Aamin ).
