songs. She was a sympathizer with the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan, singing some songs in support for them. She has long been forgotten by media mainly due to political reasons, over the decades following her death. Bakht Zamina is believed to have died in 1980, due to tuberculosis. However, Some speculate that she was murdered by Islamic Unity of Afghanistan Mujahideen after she sang her famous song "Khaija Pa Morchal Bande".
