Nooran Sisters Songs in Punjabi Music Industry
In the Punjabi music industry, The Nooran Sisters are one of the most successful contemporary artists. Their music and concerts are a family affair. Their father Gulshan Meer played the Harmonium for them until 2019. Their younger brother still plays with them, and he is the main Tabla player for most of their tracks.
These 15 songs are some of our favorites and it’s a mix of Sufi and romantic songs.
A personal favorite from this list is Jugi and every live rendition by the artists, Jyoti Nooran and Sultana Nooran, is unique. A great story about the making of the 3rd song is that they mispronounced the word as they sang the lyrics. Jyoti Nooran and Sultana Nooran mispronounced the word “sound” to “sOnd. The producer felt that the pronunciation was authentic, never asking the singers to correct it.
The songs include:
- Jugni
- Main Deewani
- Tung tung Baje
- Bulla Nacheya
- Jind Meriye
- Jindriye
- Tumba Jindri
- Tere bajre di rakhi
- Duniya Matlab Di

- Ishq
- Vanjhali
- Ek Nadi Thi
- Bol Maaye

Nooran Sisters Qawwali
Not a typical qawwali ensemble, these Nooran Sisters perform with no chorus. There are plenty of other instruments, but only these two voices. They resemble a bolstered-up Abida Parveen performance ensemble.
Allah Hoo / Allah Hu
Their singing of this at the annular Nakodar Festival went viral. Playing this song, in essence, was what catapulted the Nooran sisters to overnight success. This should not be confused with Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan‘s famous number.
Kulli
This was an original song of their grandmother’s. The Nooran Sisters have revived the old family track with modern instruments.
