نامور گلوکارہ نیرہ نور کا انتقال موسیقی کی دنیا کے لیے ایک نا قابل تلافی نقصان ہے۔ وہ اپنی آواز میں ترنم اور سوز کی وجہ سے خاص پہچان رکھتی تھیں۔ غزل ہو یا گیت جو بھی انہوں نے گایا کمال گایا۔ان کی وفات سے پیدا ہونے والا خلا کبھی پُر نہیں ہوگا۔ اللہ تعالی مرحومہ کو جنت میں جگہ دے۔

Noor was one of the most well-known playback and ghazal singers in the Indian subcontinent. She was born on November 3, 1950, in Guwahati, Assam, in northeastern India.

After her family relocated to Pakistan in the early 1950s, she made her home in Karachi.
