Neeki Lagat Mohey Apne Piya Ki - Farid Ayaz Qawwal

Lost in thought, this is the pensive and wistful mood of Farid Ayaz that I love most.



Preamble: Laagi Laagi sab kahein, laagi buri bala
Laagi to tab jaaniyo, jab aar paar hoee jaae ~ Kabir

Poet: Turab Hyderabadi

Neeki lagat mohe apnay piya ki
(Moray piya ki) Aankh raseeli jaado bhari

Nazar nay nazar mulaqat kar li (borrowed verse)
Rahay donon khamosh aur baat kat li

Chaen parat naahi mukh daikay bina
Daikh najar bhar jaat mari ray

Kaahay Turab darre kaahu say
Preet karee, ka mein chori karee ray?!
