Reshma was a Pakistani folk singer best known for her rendition of Panjabi folk songs. Reshma was born in 1947 in Rajasthan, India, but her family migrated to Pakistan when she was a month old shortly after the partition. Reshma's talent was discovered in the 1960s by a former Radio Pakistan producer, who heard her singing at the shrine of a Sufi saint.
