Today is the death anniversary of Iqbal Bano, a renowned female ghazal singer of the subcontinent.She was born on 27th August , 1935 at Delhi.Her singing talent spotted early in life , she was trained in Classical music by Ustaad Chand Khan of Delhi Gharana and she became his Ganda- bandh disciple.At Chand Khan's persuasion, she started singing at Delhi station of All India Radio.
Married in 1952, aged 17 to a person in Multan, she shifted there and continued singing. In ' 50s she had become an established singer and received wide acclaim as singer of Dadra, Thumri and Ghazals.She also sang for Pakistani films.After the death of her husband in 1980, she shifted to Lahore.

In open defiance of Ziaul Haque's military regime that had banned Faiz's ghazals ,she once performed on stage Faiz's Hum Dekhenge.........to a packed audience. She was an outstanding singer and rendered ghazals in semi Classical style, with scrupulous adherence to Ragas.
Her famous ghazals include Ulfat Ki Nayi Manzil Ko Chala....., Daag-e- Dil Humko Yaad Aane Lagay....,Hum Dekhenge......
