Je-haal-e-miskeen makun taghaaful
Sung by Shabnam Virmani (www.shabnamvirmani.com)

With gratitude to dear friend and renowned Sufi singer Mir Mukhtiyar Ali from Pugal village in Bikaner, Rajasthan, from whom I heard this exquisite version composed by him.

Words of the song:
Je-haal-e-miskeen makun taghaaful
Duraaye naina banaaye batiyaan
Ke taab-e-hijraan nadaaram ay jaan
Na leho kaahe lagaaye chhatiyaan

Shabaan-e-hijraan daraaz chun zulf
Wa roz-e-waslat chun umer kotaah
Sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun
To kaise kaatun andheri ratiyaan

Yakayak az dil do chashm-e-jaadu
Basad farebam baaburd taskeen
Kisay padi hai jo ja sunaave
Piyaare pi ko hamaari batiyaan

Cho shama sozaan cho zarraa hairaan
Hamesha giryan be ishq an meh
Na neend naina na ang chaina
Na aap aave na bhejen patiyaan

Bahaaq-e-roz-e-visaal-e-dilbar
Ke daad maara fareb Khusro
Sapeet man ke varaaye raakhun
Jo ja ke paun piya ke khatiyaan

This song was part of a concert organised by Alka Jalan Foundation in Kolkata, in March 2023.
