क़ीमती पल,
-------------------
रेशमा एक पाकिस्तानी लोक गायिका थीं। अन्य सम्मानों के बीच पाकिस्तान में तीसरा सर्वोच्च सम्मान और नागरिक पुरस्कार सितारा-ए-इम्तियाज से सम्मानित, उन्हें लोक गीतों और उनकी शक्तिशाली गायन आवाज के लिए याद किया जाता है।
-------------------
1947 में एक खानाबदोश बंजारा परिवार में भारत के राजस्थान में जन्मी, उनका परिवार भारत के विभाजन के बाद कराची में स्थानांतरित हो गया। सिंध के सहवान में लाल शाहबाज कलंदर की दरगाह में गाते हुए बारह साल की उम्र में एक स्थानीय निर्माता द्वारा खोजा गया, रेशमा ने पाकिस्तान रेडियो जैसे लेबल के लिए विभिन्न लोक गीतों को रिकॉर्ड किया। कंपनी "लाल मेरी" के साथ उनकी पहली परियोजना एक त्वरित हिट थी और उन्हें 1960 के दशक में कई टेलीविजन प्रस्तुतियों के साथ प्रसिद्धि मिली थी।
-----------------
रेशमा ने पाकिस्तानी और भारतीय फिल्म उद्योग दोनों के लिए गाने रिकॉर्ड किए। उनके कुछ सबसे यादगार गानों में "लाल मेरी", "है ओ रब्बा नहीं लगड़ा दिल मेरा", "अंखियां नु रेहेन दे" और "लंबी जुदाई" शामिल हैं। कई वर्षों तक गले के कैंसर से पीड़ित रहने के बाद, 3 नवंबर 2013 को लाहौर, पाकिस्तान में उनका निधन हो गया।
-----------------
स्वास्थ्य के मुद्दे और मृत्यु
-----------------
रेशमा को 1980 के दशक में गले के कैंसर का पता चला था। बाद के वर्षों में, उनका स्वास्थ्य बिगड़ गया, जिसके कारण राष्ट्रपति परवेज मुशर्रफ ने उनकी सहायता की, उन्हें बैंक ऋण चुकाने में मदद करने के लिए एक मिलियन रुपये दिए, साथ ही उन्हें प्रति माह 10,000 रुपये की सुरक्षित सहायता पर रखा। उन्होंने उसे अपने लिए जमीन का एक भूखंड सुरक्षित करने में भी मदद की, लेकिन सरकार में बदलाव के कारण यह नहीं हो पाया।
-----------------
उनका स्वास्थ्य इस हद तक बिगड़ गया कि उन्हें 6 अप्रैल 2013 को लाहौर, पाकिस्तान में 'डॉक्टरों के अस्पताल' में अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया गया। पंजाब, पाकिस्तान की कार्यवाहक सरकार ने उनके सभी चिकित्सा खर्चों का भुगतान करने के लिए चुना। उसे बताएं कि उसने अपना वजन कम कर लिया है और वह तुरंत जवाब देती है, "तो क्या? माई से स्लिम, स्मार्ट भी तो हो गां।" (तो क्या? इस वजह से मैं पतला और होशियार हो गया हूं), लेकिन फिर समझाता हूं, "डॉक्टरों ने मुझे तैलीय और मसालेदार भोजन को कम करने की सलाह दी है।" वह सहजता से स्वीकार करती थी, "मैंने शास्त्रीय संगीत का कोई प्रशिक्षण नहीं लिया है, मुझे किसी राग का 'र' भी नहीं पता है। इसलिए जब मैं गाती हूं और कोई तकनीकी पहलू याद आती है, तो कृपया मुझे क्षमा करें," यह विनम्र आत्मा क्या करती थी दर्शकों से कहो। "मेरे लिए, भारत और पाकिस्तान में कोई अंतर नहीं है, वे मेरी दो आँखों की तरह हैं।"
-----------------
रेशमा अक्टूबर 2013 में कोमा में चली गई और 3 नवंबर 2013 को लाहौर के एक अस्पताल में उसकी मृत्यु हो गई।

1982 में पाकिस्तान सरकार द्वारा प्राइड ऑफ परफॉर्मेंस अवार्ड
-----------------
2000 में पीटीवी अवार्ड में रेशमा को सर्वश्रेष्ठ गायक का पुरस्कार मिला
कराची, पाकिस्तान के एक पत्रकार, मुर्तजा सोलंगी, जो रेडियो पाकिस्तान के लिए भी काम करते थे, ने 1970 के दशक में विभिन्न रेडियो स्टेशनों पर रेशमा के प्रदर्शन की व्यवस्था की थी, उन्होंने कहा, "मैं रेशमा को कैसे भूल सकता था? मेरी युवावस्था में, उनकी आवाज़ ने मुझे हमेशा समृद्ध किया। और उसने राजस्थान, चोलिस्तान और सिंध को जोड़ा। वह रेगिस्तान का फूल था, प्रेम, संगीत और शांति का प्रतीक था।"

Reshma, was a
Pakistani folk singer. Awarded with Sitara-e-Imtiaz, the third highest honour
and civilian award in Pakistan among other honours, she is remembered for folk
songs and her powerful singing voice.
------------------
Born in
Rajasthan, India in a nomadic Banjara household in 1947, her family relocated
to Karachi after the Partition of India. Discovered by a local producer at the
age of twelve while singing at the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan,
Sindh, Reshma went on to record various folk songs for such labels as the
Pakistan Radio. Her first project with the company "Laal Meri" was an
instant hit and she was catapulted to fame with several television appearances
in the 1960s.
-----------------
Reshma went on to
record songs for both the Pakistani and Indian film industry. Some of her most
memorable songs include "Laal Meri", "Hai O Rabba Nahion Lagda
Dil Mera", "Ankhiyan Nu Rehen De" and "Lambi Judai"
among others. She died on 3 November 2013 in Lahore, Pakistan, after suffering
from throat cancer for several years.
-----------------
Early life
-----------------
Reshma was born
in the village of Loha, Ratangarh tehsil of Churu district, near Bikaner,
Rajasthan around 1947. Her father, Haji Muhammad Mushtaq, was a camel and horse
trader from Malashi. She belonged to a tribe which had converted to Islam. Her
tribe migrated to Karachi shortly after the Partition of India, when she was
just one month old.
-----------------
She did not
receive any formal education and spent much of her childhood singing at the
'mazars' (shrines) of the mystic saints of Sindh, Pakistan. She was a
vegetarian by choice and her favorite foods were 'saag' (cooked mustard
greens), 'makai roti' (corn bread), and 'missi roti'.
-----------------
Career
-----------------
Reshma was
spotted, at the age of 12, singing at the Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar by
then Pakistani television and radio producer, Saleem Gilani. Gilani arranged
for her to make a recording of "Laal Meri Pat Rakhio" on Radio
Pakistan in 1968. She became an instant hit and since that day, Reshma has been
one of the most popular folk singers of Pakistan, and garnered international
renown. Reshma had been appearing on television since 1968, recording songs for
both the Pakistani and Indian film industry, and performing in live concerts at
home and abroad.
-----------------
Some of her
famous songs are "Dama Dam Mast Kalandar", "Hai O' Rabba nahion
lagda dil mera", "Sun charkhe di mithi mithi khook mahiya meinu yaad
aunda", "Wey main chori chori teray naal laayyan akhhian" ( song
lyrics by renowned Punjabi poet Manzoor Hussain Jhalla ), "Kithay Nain Na
Jori", "Lambi Judai" and "Ankhiyan nu rehen de ankhyan de
kol kol".
-----------------
The above song
was used by Raj Kapoor in his film Bobby, "Ankhyon ko rehne de ankhyon ke
aas pass", sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Her fame had crossed the border,
thanks to pirated tapes. She was able to perform live in India much later, during
the 1980s when India and Pakistan allowed exchange of artists. Subhash Ghai
used her voice in the film Hero, which featured one of her most famous songs,
"Lambi Judai".
-----------------
During her career
she was invited to meet Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
-----------------
In 2004, she
recorded "Ashkan Di Gali Vich Mukaam De Gaya", which was used in the
Bollywood film Woh Tera Naam Tha, and was also a hit record in India.
-----------------
In January 2006,
she was one of the passengers on the inaugural Lahore-Amritsar bus, the first
such service linking both parts of the Punjab since 1947. The bus had 26
passengers in total of whom 15 were Pakistani officials, and Reshma had booked
seven seats for herself and her family. Reshma planned to give many performances
in India on this tour.
-----------------
Her last
residence was in the area of Ichhra in Lahore, Pakistan.
-----------------
Her younger
sister Kaneez Reshma is also a professional singer.
-----------------
Health issues and
death
-----------------
Reshma was
diagnosed with throat cancer in the 1980s. In later years, her health
deteriorated, leading President Pervez Musharraf to come to her aid, giving her
one million Rupees to help pay off a bank loan, as well as putting her on a
secured assistance of 10,000 rupees per month. He also helped her secure a plot
of land for herself, but that did not go through due to the change in
government.
-----------------
Her health
deteriorated to such an extent that she was hospitalised in Lahore, Pakistan in
'Doctors Hospital' on 6 April 2013. The Punjab, Pakistan caretaker government
elected to pay all her medical expenses. Tell her that she has lost weight and
she promptly replies, "To kyā? Maiṅ is se slim, smart bhī to ho
gaī." (So what ? I have grown slim and smart because of this), but then
explains, "Doctors have advised me to curtail oily and spicy food."
She readily used to admit, "I have no training in classical music, I do
not know even the 'r' of any raga. So when I sing and miss any technical
aspect, please forgive me," is what this humble soul used to say to the
audience. "For me, there is no difference between India and Pakistan, they
are like my two eyes."
-----------------
Reshma fell into
a coma in October 2013 and died on 3 November 2013 in a Lahore hospital.

always enriched me and she connected Rajasthan, Cholistan and Sindh. She was a
flower of the desert, symbol of love, music and peace".
