Hello everyone,

I've just registered with this site and what a fantastic site it is for finding great music.

I just wonder if anyone has any songs by Nahid Akhtar, I've searched the net, searched the CD stalls of Lahore and had very little luck.

I have a few tracks but not many and a few that I had on tape are have deteriorated.

Any tracks would be appreciated - I have to admit I don't remember many titles other than the following :

Likh diya ( ? di) hum nay aap kay naam

and some vague fragments of other songs.

Thanks for your help.

Which songs of Nahid Akhtar do you need.

UKaudiophile

Hi, thanks for the replies Beinglonely and Goodfella.

The tracks I am looking for are the one above, "Likh diya ( ? di) hum nay aap kay naam" I may not have the exact title, her duet with Mehdi Hassan - "Zindagi rahay na rahay" ( I think).

There is also a song which I can only vaguley remember - she sings as a daughter-in-law who has married into a family only interested in her money and is basically telling them how she is going to make them pay for deceiving her. The song was in atleast two and perhaps three "segments" which were sung in a variety of what you might call styles.
Sorry if that last description is vague but unless I can lay my hands on the cassette it was recorded on it is all I have to go on!
.

I have got "Turu turu tara tara" and Tarasta hai yeh dil".

Just generally, I think Nahid Akhtar should have a thread devoted especially to her - she had a fantastic voice and I have only heard a few of her songs.

Anyway thanks again.

I have sent you a message with the names of some websites where you can download Nahid Akhtar's songs.

The second song is from the film "Mera Naam Hai Mohabbat". I do have it on audio cassette. I will see if I have it Cd. I do have the song "Tujhe Pyar Karte Karte" in Nahid Akhtar's voice from the same film.

I agree she has a fantastic voice and "Tarasta hai yeh dil " is a great song.

One song which I also need is "Tha Yaqeen " from the film Suriya Bhopali.

Hi Goodfella.

Apparently i cannot pm until I have posted 50 messages - I could just post hello 50 times but ....

Anyway, thanks for the links - I'll definitely have a look but I have been to cooltoad and searched for Nahid Akhtar and come up with nil found!

Meanwhile you can listen to some tracks on

pakistanimusic.com/

You cannot download directly, HOWEVER, , you can record the track as it plays without loss of quality by using [FONT=Arial]FREE Hi-Q Recorder from:[/FONT]

I have tried it and it works well.

I am afraid the song, Tha Yaqeen, isn't one that I know.

Regards.

PS Apparently I cannot post URL's to other websites until I have posted 15 messages.

PPS I suppose I could just post Hello 15 times but....

Hi UKaudiophile,

Go to Cooltoad and then on the music link and then on to world. Type "Nahid Akhtar" and you will find her songs. I get atleast 18 songs of her and they are other songs also in Cooltoad. Check your spellings. Try again and then tell me.

I've got a full cd of her songs but GS doesnt let me upload.

Goodfella

Legally Brown is the CD titled "The Very best of Nahid Akhtar" or is it your own collection.

Ukaudiophile if you live in the UK then I can make you a copy and post it. E-mail me your details
