You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Nayyara Noor''' (((Lang-ur|((Nastaliq|نیرہ نور))));((Lrm)) 3 November 1950 – 20 August 2022) was a Pakistani [[playback singer]], considered one of [[Pakistan]]'s most popular singers. She was known for performing in live [[ghazal]] singing concerts in Pakistani TV shows and in concert halls around the country.<ref name="Dawn">((cite news |url=http://www.dawn.com/news/767855/nayyara-noor-muted-melodies |title=Nayyara Noor: muted melodies |newspaper=Dawn (newspaper) |date=30 November 2012 |access-date=3 January 2021 |first=Asif |last=Noorani))</ref> The national song in Nayyara's voice, "''Watan ki mitti gawah rehna''", is listened in Pakistan.<ref>[https://blogs.tribune.com.pk/story/28962/5-classic-national-songs-every-patriotic-pakistani-can-relate-to-today/ "A patriotic song by Nayyara Noor"] on ''The Express Tribune'' (newspaper). Published 13 August 2015, retrieved 3 January 2021.</ref><ref name=travel/>

==Early life==
Nayyara Noor was born on 3 November 1950 in [[Guwahati]], [[Assam]].<ref name="Dawn"/> Her family and ancestors belonged to a merchant class.<ref name=DT>Amjad Parvez (9 November 2018), [https://dailytimes.com.pk/319822/nayyara-noor-a-haunting-tuneful-and-sweet-voice/ "Nayyara Noor — a haunting, tuneful and sweet voice"] Daily Times (newspaper), Retrieved 3 January 2021</ref><ref name="Dawn"/> Her father was an active member of the [[All-India Muslim League]] and had hosted Pakistan's founding father [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] during his trip to Assam before the [[Partition of India|partition]] in 1947. 

In 1957 or 1958, Noor, along with her mother and siblings, migrated from India to Pakistan, settling in [[Karachi]]. However, her father stayed back in Assam until 1993 to look after the family's immovable properties.<ref name="Dawn"/> 

==Career==
As a child, Nayyara is said to have been inspired by the [[bhajan]]s of [[Kanan Devi]] and Kamla as well as the [[ghazal]]s and [[thumri]]s of [[Begum Akhtar]].<ref name="Dawn"/><ref name=DT/> Although Nayyara had no formal musical background nor formal training, she was discovered by Professor Asrar Ahmad at the [[Islamia College (Lahore)|Islamia College]] in [[Lahore]] when he heard her sing the [[Lata Mangeshkar]] [[bhajan]] “Jo tum todo piya” from [[Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje]] for her friends and teachers at an annual dinner at the [[National College of Arts]] in [[Lahore]] in 1968. Soon thereafter, she was asked to sing for the university's [[Radio Pakistan]] programs.<ref name=DT/><ref name="Dawn"/>

In 1971, Nayyara made her public singing debut in Pakistani television serials and then beginning with films such as ''Gharana (1973)'' and ''Tansen''. She went on to sing ghazals, a form of song in Urdu poetry, penned by the famous poets such as [[Mirza Ghalib|Ghalib]] and [[Faiz Ahmed Faiz]] and performed with legends such as [[Mehdi Hassan]] and [[Ahmed Rushdi]].<ref name=DT/>

In 2012, Nayyara Noor officially announced that she would no longer sing professionally. After her marriage, she maintained that her primary roles were those of a wife and a mother. She said that music was a passion with her but never her top priority.<ref name="Dawn"/>

Nayyara performed at [[mehfil]]s and [[mushaira]]s, having cemented a following among ghazal lovers in Pakistan and India. Probably the most famous ghazal of hers was "''Ae Jazba-e-Dil Gar Main Chahoon''", written by [[Behzad Lucknavi]]. She later won many awards for this ghazal.<ref name="Dawn"/><ref name=travel/>
