No, I'm in the dark too, other than what I already posted about (singing
something on the newest Jah Wobble CD, which I don't have yet and haven't
seen).

Here are the 3 Najma albums I have, which are probably the same ones that
the person who wrote you has:

NAJMA

  Atish  (US-CD, 1990)  (Shanachie 16351-64262-2)

    1)  Atish             6:14
    2)  Naina             5:41
    3)  Apne Hathon       5:40
    4)  Parvanon          2:32
    5)  Nikala            4:29
    6)  Ghoom Charakhana  8:01
    7)  Faithless Love    3:12

  Ghazals By Najma  (UK-CD, 1988)  (Nivako  NLL CD 001)

    1)  Jo Tere Ishq Mein      5:43
    2)  Baske Dushwar Hai      5:26
    3)  Kitne Badal Gaye       5:48
    4)  Nukqtachee Hai Ghame   5:00
    5)  Sawan Aya Papiha Bole  4:53
    6)  Mere Fasane Mein       5:48
    7)  Turn Jahan Hoge        5:03
    8)  Aehele Deroo Haram     6:56
    9)  Har Ek Ranj Mein       7:03

  Qareeb  (US-CD, 1988)  (Shanachie 64009)

    1)  Neend Koyi                    6:42
    2)  Jane Kis Tarha                6:17
    3)  Dil Laga Ya Tha               5:48
    4)  "Apne Hathon"                 5:26
    5)  Zikar Hai Apna Mehfil Mehfil  6:29
    6)  Karoon Na Yad Magr            8:54
    7)  Har Sitam Aap Ka              9:11
This one is the best of the bunch, IMO
Ghazals is the next best, and Atish is way, way, way, way way 3rd.
