Naghma (Pashto: نغمه, born January 1, 1964[citation needed]) is a prominent Afghan singer who started in the early 1980s. She and her ex-husband, Mangal, were a popular musical duo who dominated Afghan music scene during the 1980s and early 1990s. Naghma sings in Pashto and Dari (Persian). Her music is popular in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Tajikistan. She is without doubt the most popular female celebrity in Afghanistan and continues to be the voice and face of Pashtun traditional music.
Naghma was born as Shaperai (Pashto: ښاپېرۍ meaning Head Fairy) on January 1, 1964, in Qandahar, Afghanistan.[1] She belongs to the Pashtun ethnic group. She was the eldest daughter in a family of five boys and three girls. Her father's name is Syed Suleiman Shah and her mother is Bibi Mashala. Her father was from North Afghanistan. He died while Naghma was still a girl of five years. As a young girl, she developed an interest in music. She used to sing for her school band in Ayno Lece in Qandahar. At sixteen she moved to Kabul with her paternal uncle. She continued her secondary education at Rabia Balkhi Lece where she also was performing in the girl's band as a vocalist. A year before finishing her High School she married Mangal, an already popular Pashto singer from Laghman, and consequently left school to advance her musical career. They were instant celebrities, recording hits that are famous to this day. There was no looking back for Naghma. In Mangal she found a husband who was not only encouraging of her music but was training her and refining her musical taste. Even after their divorce, Naghma maintains that Mangal was the most important person to her career and understanding of music.
I cant reach you anymore
cause you wont open up the door
Yeah I dont know you anymore
It feels like I just died
what you said cannot hide
But you will care when I am gone
For the weakness that we share non disparity
for the past and joy of infinity
our atrocity
Lets sing out please do shout
this song is made of sorrow
Lets scream now you know how
We need some time to borrow
You laugh and cry
You live and you die
Yoou twist and turn, you crash and you'll burn
like one, but two there's nothing we cant do
burn ower roots we dont let now one
I know that you're strong
But sometimes you dont know when you are wrong
But I still miss you when you're gone
Thats why I give you another song
And I'll sing it all night long
