Naachne Rani
From the liner notes of the 1981 release Salma & Sabina Sing The Hits Of ABBa In Hindi: "This cassette contains the Hindi versions of the melodies of the World's Number One Pop group - ABBA. Their melodies are magic and their reproduction in any other language is a challenge which only the most talented and versatile musicians and singers can accept. This challenge was accepted by a group of people from the Indian Sub-Continent and Europe. Amit Khanna, the writer of numerous Indian hits is the author of the Hindi lyrics on this cassette. he has not only managed to totally preserve the feel and atmosphere of ABBA but also given a new " Indo dimension " to the lyrics, which are undoubtedly the most beautiful songs ever written... The two Agha sisters, Salma and Sabina have put their voices to these lyrics... With their stunning personalities, looks and voices, the Agha sisters are sure to become a phenomenon on the musical scene."
How can you argue with that?

Absolutely absolutely beautiful, I had heard the Agha sisters' version when I was little, and was never able to find out anything else about it, and am so glad I found the info on your site, I have so many memories from the time I heard these songs.

dude, the most amazing, and possible the gayest thing ever recording. Do you suppose you could arrange for me to marry both sisters?

Thank you, thank you for this. I knew I wasn't going crazy and had heard ABBA's Hindi/Urdu versions before.
After leaving Afghanistan in 1981, we settled in Pakistan for a few months and then had to move on to India. On the last day in Islamabad, my brother bought some tapes. One was Nazia Hassan hits, the other ABBA and of course this album by Agha sisters. On the train from Amritsar to New Delhi we kept playing these tapes loud on the cassette player.
Today after 25 years and lots of searching, I found your site and found the songs that take me back to being 14-years-old, thinking of the war at home, the time in Pakistan, the prospects of living in India and what the future held.
Thanks again.
I just relived my 12-hour train ride by listening to these songs.
