The Pakistani music industry has suffered a devastating loss with the passing of Haniya Aslam, one half of the iconic duo Zeb and Haniya. Aslam died on Sunday, August 11, after suffering a cardiac arrest. Her Namaz-e-Janaza will be held in Islamabad today.
Aslam’s cousin and musical partner, Zeb Bangash, confirmed the news on Instagram, sharing a series of touching photographs of Haniya. The post has become a space for expressions of grief and condolences from the music industry and beyond.
Haniya Aslam was a talented musician, producer, and composer who began her career as a studio intern for Mekaal Hasan. She rose to fame with her and Bangash’s song ‘Chup’ in 2001 and went on to create a unique sound that blended traditional Eastern music with Western influences.
Aslam’s work extended beyond albums, composing songs for films like Lala Begum, Maypole Rose, and Dobara Phir Se. She was a symbol of passion, resilience, and creativity, and one of the few female producers in the country.
Her sudden passing has left a void in the hearts of her fans and peers. Her music, which transcended borders and languages, will continue to inspire and soothe listeners for generations to come.
