UMRAO ZIA BEGUM: How many people are aware of this amazing and brilliant singer?

A singing- star by the name of Umrao Zia Begum was the talk of the town in those exciting times. In fact, she was renowned for her melodious voice as a film actress. Further, she earned the title of ‘Bulbul Hazaar Dastaan’ from the music buffs. Ghulam Haider composed music for Umrao Zia Begum and recorded songs and ghazals in her voice. Her name appeared on the gramophone records as well. Perhaps, Umrao Zia Begum’s greatest achievement was the recitation of one of the most popular Naat ” Mera Salam Leja Woh Jan Lenge Sab Kuch “, composed by Ghulam Haider. Ghulam Haider debuted as a music composer in a 1935 movie, ‘Swarg ki seerhi’, in which Umrao Zia Begum was also cast in a major role. ‘Swarg ki seerhi’ was released under the banner of National Modi Tone, Lahore, and directed by AR Kardar.
With the passage of time, Ghulam Haider and Umrao Zia Begum developed immense love and understanding for each other, which reached their peak during the movie shoot of ‘Swarg ki seerhi’. Ghulam Haider, who worked for Pancholi Art pictures at that time, soon married Umrao Zia Begum. After marrying Ghulam Haider, Umrao Zia Begum said farewell to show business. She was never seen again even in a public gathering. She was not only a great human but an affectionate mother who possessed enormous foresightedness as well. Nothing happens to anybody, that he is not fitted by nature to bear. Ghulam Haider’s demise happened to be a tremendous setback for his beloved wife, Umrao Zia Begum, who was much younger than her husband. However, she did not lose her heart. Instead, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the upbringing of her children. She left no stone unturned to provide her children the best possible education available at the time. Consequently, all her children grew up and achieved name and fame in their respective fields. Most importantly, Umrao Zia Begum thanked God to see her relentless efforts come to fruition. Years later, Umrao Zia Begum breathed her last in the ‘Stork House,’ Bahawalpur, which was the official residence of her younger son, who was the General Officer Commanding in Bahawalpur in those days. She was laid to rest in the Military Graveyard, Cavalry Ground, Lahore. Ghulam Haider will stand as a musical icon as far as the eye can see.

[@SureeleDinonKiDastan]

Your response makes me very delighted. The main challenge we had while conducting research on Mohtarma Umrao Zia Begum was that we learned very little about her life and background. It would be really thoughtful on your part if you could provide a method for obtaining this information.

Very useful informative and interesting service by you Congratulations Sir Remain blessed !

[@muhammadimranmunir7494]

Master Ghulam Haider was God Father of Lata jee, Madam Noor Jahan and Shamsad Begum, MGH introduced all three singer, even Madan Mohan assisted MGH in india and music director A.Hameed and Nashad in Pakistan. Your story is little in correct.

[@SureeleDinonKiDastan]

What facts in my story are incorrect? Instead of Master Ghulam Haider, Umrao Zia Begum was the main subject of the series. I've heard everything you've stated about MGH before, but I'll still utilise it when I write a series about them.
