Mehdi Hassan passes away
KARACHI - Shahensha-e-Ghazal and great singing legend of Pakistan, Mehdi Hassan after a long period of ailment passed away here on Wednesday.
A couple of days ago, ailing ghazal legend Mehdi Hassan was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of a private hospital here after suffering from multiple health problems, according to his son Arif Hassan.
Hassan had multiple lung, chest and urinary tract ailments which were being treated by specialists.
Hassan, 84, was born into a family of traditional musicians at Luna village, Rajasthan, in 1927 before his family migrated to Pakistan after 1947.
Hassan, who has a huge following in the subcontinent, cut back on his performances in the late 80s due to illness. Considered one of the most successful ghazal singers of Pakistan, Mehdi Hasasn was trained in classical music by his father Ustad Azeem Khan and his uncle Ustad Ismail Khan who were both well respected classical musicians.
Hassan tried different styles of music and there was a time in Pakistan's film industry known as Lollywood when a production was considered incomplete without his voice.
Due to his remarkable commercial and artistic success, he was titled Shahenshah-e-Ghazal (The King of Ghazal singing). He also played the role of a cultural ambassador and visited India several times.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani expressed grief and sorrow over the said demise of legendary singer Mehdi Hussan.
Prime Minister has said that Mehdi Hassan was an icon who mesmerized the music lovers not only in Pakistan but also in the sub-continent for almost many decades.

Hassan was really a top icon of music especially Ghazals .He was a competent singer ,People like Jagjit singh respected him and called him King of gazals. His death was indeed a great lose for the nation but he died by inches but our government did not supported him and even did not spend a single piney on his treatment.
may God bless him
vry sad,
INNA LILLA E WA INNA EELAH E RAAJEOON.
Really,world has lost the evergreatest voice of legendary Mehdi Hassan.

Imam Zynul abidin a.s frmatay hai ke jb mai kisi gr mai ganay ke awaz sunta houn tu mujay apnay baba k qatil ya’d atay hai.
Kisi ko koi haq nahi k koi kisi k baray me kuch kahay, Allah taa'la jitna reham kerne wala koi nahi sab se ziada Allah us bemar insan k gunah istarha maaf karta hai jese darakht se pattay jhartay hyn, Allah se daro or achchay kam kero bajay is k k dusro ko un k ammal k baray me batao pehle khud to ammal behtar kerlo, hmay nahi pata k Allah ko kisi ki kia neki pasand ajay, Allah pak mehdi Hassan ki maghfirat farmay or unko jannat-ul-firdous me jaga ata farmayn………Ammeen.
