Meet Naseebo Lal’s Siblings: Farah, Nooran, Sheena, Shahid, and Tabedar Lal

Naseebo Lal, born on January 10, 1970, in Chishtian, Punjab, Pakistan, is a legendary Pakistani folk and playback singer celebrated for her commanding vocals in Punjabi, Urdu, Saraiki, and Marwari.

Some accounts trace her birthplace to Kalor Kot Bhakkar, but her roots lie firmly in Punjab’s vibrant cultural landscape. She is 55 years old.

She was born into a nomadic Rajasthani-origin family that migrated to Pakistan following the 1947 Partition, carrying with them a deep connection to traditional folk music.

Her mother, Babli Lal, a folk singer herself, was Naseebo’s earliest mentor, nurturing her talent from childhood. Though her father’s name is not publicly known, the family was well recognized in local music circles for performing at fairs, weddings, and cultural gatherings.

Naseebo grew up alongside several musically gifted siblings—brothers Shahid Lal and Tabedar Lal, and sisters Sheena Lal and Farah Lal (some reports also include Nooran Lal)—all of whom pursued singing, turning the Lal family into a household name in folk entertainment.

Without any formal schooling, Naseebo focused entirely on music, learning through live performances and oral tradition. Her early struggles, marked by poverty and societal challenges, only deepened her emotional expression as a vocalist.

Over the years, she became one of Pakistan’s most powerful voices, known for soul-stirring performances of songs like Silli Silli Aundi Hawa and for her appearances on Coke Studio, where her distinctive tone and improvisational skill earned international acclaim.

In her personal life, Naseebo Lal is married to musician Naveed Hussain. The couple shares two children, a son named Murad Hussain and a daughter, Noor Fatima (also known as Laadi).

In March 2025, reports surfaced about a domestic dispute involving her husband, which she later described as a minor misunderstanding. Later that year, rumours spread claiming she had given birth at age 55, but she clarified that the newborn was her grandson, Murad’s son.

Standing about 5 feet 6 inches tall (167 cm), Naseebo continues to embody resilience and artistry. Beyond her music career, she founded a music academy in 2016 to support underprivileged children with artistic talent, ensuring that her legacy of passion and perseverance continues through the next generation.

Farah Lal

Farah Lal, one of Naseebo‘s two younger sisters, shares a close bond with her sibling, often collaborating on family recordings and stage appearances.

Like Naseebo, Farah inherited their mother’s soulful voice and has carved out a niche in Punjabi and Saraiki folk music. She has released numerous tracks, including mashups and solo songs such as “Aey Galli Bewafa Wan Di,” which showcase her emotive delivery and rhythmic flair.

Farah frequently joins Naseebo for special events, like Eid recordings for Pakistan Television (PTV), where the sisters perform alongside family members, including nephews. Her career mirrors Naseebo‘s in its focus on live performances and cultural events.

Still, Farah has also gained attention for her resilience in the industry, once sharing stories of recording over 100 songs with minimal compensation—a testament to the family’s dedication to their craft.

Nooran Lal

Nooran Lal, Naseebo‘s other sister and a relatively private figure in the family, is a musician whose talents often shine through joint projects rather than solo spotlights.

Nooran has contributed vocals to several albums featuring Naseebo, blending their voices in folk and mujra-style tracks. Notable collaborations include Ajj Kala Jorra Paya, Vol. 1 (2007), where they shared songs like “Tera Maar Gaya Chori Chori Takna,” and Mujra Hi Mujra, Vol. 20 (2006), highlighting their synchronized harmonies on upbeat Punjabi numbers.

Nooran started her career around 2001 with a PTV rendition of Noor Jehan‘s “Mahi Ve Sanon Bhool Na Javi,” which earned her early acclaim. Her style emphasizes emotional depth, much like Naseebo‘s, and she has been described as an “adorable singer” whose stage presence draws crowds.

Sheena Lal

Sheena Lal, Naseebo‘s second sister, embodies the family’s innovative spirit by blending traditional folk with modern remixes, making her a fresh voice in Punjabi music.

A singer in her own right, Sheena has performed alongside Naseebo in live shows and family gatherings, often drawing from their shared childhood rehearsals where the sisters honed their skills together.

Her solo work includes remakes like “Jana Si Te,” a high-energy track produced by KB Production that pays homage to classic melodies while adding contemporary beats.

Sheena‘s voice, described as a “beautiful legacy” from their mother Babli, carries the same earthy resonance as Naseebo‘s, but she leans toward dance-oriented numbers popular in stage dramas.

Married with children like her sisters, Sheena balances family life with performances, contributing to the Lal clan’s reputation for versatile, heartfelt music that resonates across generations.

Shahid Lal

Shahid Lal, Naseebo‘s elder brother, is a prominent singer in Pakistan’s Lollywood scene, known for his robust baritone and contributions to film soundtracks.

As a key pillar of the family, Shahid has not only pursued his own career but also actively supported Naseebo‘s, speaking out during her personal challenges, such as the 2025 domestic dispute, where he attributed it to “minor disagreements” that led to reconciliation.

Their professional synergy peaked with a 2017 joint album that blended their voices on folk hits, earning praise for its authentic energy and sibling chemistry. Shahid‘s style mirrors Naseebo‘s in its folk roots but extends to playback singing for Punjabi films, where his tracks often accompany high-drama scenes.

Active in the industry alongside his siblings, Shahid represents the male voice of the Lal legacy, performing at cultural events and proving that music runs as deeply in the brothers as in the sisters.

Tabedar Lal

Tabedar Lal, Naseebo‘s other brother and a Lollywood stalwart, completes the family’s male duo with his expertise in energetic stage performances and mujra compositions.

Like Shahid, Tabedar is a full-time singer whose career thrives on live shows, where he belts out Punjabi anthems that get audiences dancing. His tracks, such as those in the Deedar Mujra series, feature pulsating rhythms ideal for traditional dances, often overlapping with Naseebo‘s repertoire in family medleys.

Tabedar learned the ropes from the same nomadic roots, performing at fairs and weddings before going professional, and he continues to be active in the field, collaborating indirectly through shared industry circles.

Though less spotlighted in solo interviews, Tabedar‘s presence reinforces the Lal family’s unbreakable bond in music, where brothers and sisters alike keep Rajasthan’s folk echoes alive in Pakistan’s vibrant scene.

The Lal siblings’ collective journey—from Rajasthan’s dusty trails to Pakistan’s glittering stages—illustrates how talent, nurtured in a musical cradle, can transcend borders and generations.

Naseebo Lal‘s stardom is amplified by this supportive ensemble, ensuring their harmonies endure. As Naseebo once said, a true artist never stops learning; in the Lal family, that lesson is a shared melody.
