Aaaa... (Sufi Chanting)
Mere Rashk E Qamar Tu Ne Pehli Nazar
Jab Nazar Se Milaayi Maza Aagaya
Barq Si Gir Gayi Kaam Hee Kar Gayi
Aag Aisee Lagaayi Maza Aagaya
Jaam Mein Ghoul Kar Husn Kee Mastiyaan
Chaandni Muskurai Maza Aagaya Chaand Ke Sa'ay Mein Ay Mere Saaqiya
Tu Ne Aisee Pilaayi Maza Aagaya
Nasha Sheeshe Mein Angrai Laine Laga
Bazm E Rindaan Mein Saagar Khanakne Laga
Maikade Pe Barasne Lagi Mastiyaan
Jab Ghata Gir Ke Chaayi Maza Aagaya
Be Hijabaana Wo Saamne Aagaye
Aur Jawaani Jawaani Se Takra Gayi
Aankh Unki Laree Yoon Meri Aankh Se
Daikh Kar Ye Laraai Maza Aagaya
Aankh Mein Thee Hayaa Her Mulaqaat Par
Surkh Aariz Hu'ay Wasl Ki Baat Par
Us Ne Sharma Ke Mere Sawaalat Pe
Aise Gardan Jhukaayi Maza Aagaya
Shaikh Sahib Ka Imaan Bik He Gaya
Daikh Kar Husn E Saqi Pigal He Gaya
Aaj Se Pehle Ye Kitne Maghroor The
Lut Gayi Parsaayi Maza Aagaya
Ay Fana Shukr Hai Aaj Baad E Fana
Us Ne Rakh Le Mere Pyaar Kee Aabro
Apne Haathon Se Usne Meri Qabr Par
Chaadar E Gul Charhaayi Maza Aagaya
Mere Rashk E Qamar Tu Ne Pehli Nazar
Jab Nazar Se Milaayi Maza Aagaya...
