There will never be another Nazia Hassan:
آپ جیسا کوئی میری زندگی میں آئے،
The greatest ever.
Nobody can be her not now not ever.
Every girl tries to be her or better than her. They can’t even be her toenails.
The one and only Nazia Hassan.#HappyBirthdayNaziaHassan@zoheb_hassan pic.twitter.com/qybLWNM7xa— زُوبیہ خُورشید (@zeee_zoobia) April 3, 2020
