THE DISCO QUEEN.

Overthrowing all came the Disco Queen,

She was none other than the young Nazia.

Her like was neither born nor seen,

Such a sweet singer was young Nazia.

Her voice was rich and crystal pure,

A charismatic spell none could resist.

With a rhythmic tinckle so enchanting,

That humming birds gathered to hear her sing.

Record after record did she create with her songs,

Captivating hearts of pop music throngs.

For a short time was she happy and carefree,

Then disease gripped her, then melancholy.

Tragedy struck her and her countless fans,

When her short spell ended - as it began.

Her soul passed away in the millenium year,

But in millions' hearts it will be forever.
