Mehdi Hassan (Urdu: مہدی حسن) is a Pakistani ghazal singer and a former playback singer for Lollywood. He is famously known as the 'King of ghazal' (Urdu: شہنشاہِ غزل). He has ruled the Pakistan film industry along with Ahmed Rushdi. He was honoured with Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, Pride of Performance and Hilal-e-Imtiaz by the Government of Pakistan, and Gorkha Dakshina Bahu by the Government of Nepal.
Mehdi Hassan was born on 18 July 1927 in a village called Luna in Rajasthan, India into a family of traditional musicians. He claims to be the 16th generation of hereditary musicians hailing from the Kalawant clan of musicians. Mehdi Hassan had his musical grooming from his father Ustad Azeem Khan and uncle Ustad Ismail Khan who were both traditional Dhrupad singers. The life story of Mehdi Hassan is a journey of trials and tribulations. After partition the family migrated to Pakistan and suffered severe financial hardships.
To make both the ends meet Mehdi started working in a bicycle shop and later became a car and diesel tractor mechanic. Despite the hardships, his passion for music didn’t wither and he kept up the routine of practice on a daily basis.
The struggle ended when Mehdi Hassan was given the opportunity to sing on Radio Pakistan in 1957, primarily as a thumri singer, which earned him recognition within the musical fraternity. At the time, Ustad Barkat Ali Khan, Begum Akhtar and Mukhtar Begum were considered the stalwarts of ghazal rendition.[citation needed]
He also had a passion for Urdu poetry and began to experiment by singing ghazals on a part-time basis. He cites radio officers Z.A. Bukhari and Rafiq Anwar as additional influences in his progression as a ghazal singer.

1. PYAR BHARE DO SHARMILE NAIN
(pyar bhare do sharmile nain, jinse mila mere dil ko chain
koyee jane naa kyun mujhse sharmaye, kaise mujhe tadpaye) - (2)
dil yeh kahe git mai tere gau, tu hee sune aur mai gata jau
tu jo rahe sath mere, duniya ko thukrau teraa dil bahlau
pyar bhare do sharmile nain.......
rup teraa kaliyo ko sharmaye, kaise koyee apne dil ko bachaye
pas hai tu phir bhee jalu, kaun tujhe samjhaye savan bita jaye
pyar bhare do sharmile nain........
dar hai mujhe tujhse bichhad naa jau
kho ke tujhe milne kee rah naa pau
aisa naa ho jab bhee teraa
nam labon par lau, mai aansu ban jau
pyar bhare do sharmile nain

duniya kisi ke pyaar meiN jaanat se kam nahiN
ik dilruba hai dil meiN jo gooroN se kam nahiN

jaane wafa ho aur mohaabat ki shaan ho
jalwe tumhare husn ke taaroN se kam nahin
duniya kisi ke pyaar meiN jaanat se kam nahiN
bhoole se mushkuraaO to moti baras paDe
palke utha ke dekho to kaliyaan bhi has paDe
khusboo tumhaari zulf ki phoolon se kam nahin
duniya kisi ke pyaar meiN jaanat se kam nahiN

muJhe tum nazar se gira to rahe ho
muJhe tum kabhi bhi bhula na sakoge

kabhi nagma banke kabhi banke aansoo
kabhi nagma banke kabhi banke aansoo
tadapta muJhe har taraf paaoge tum
shama jo jalaayi hai meri wafa ne
bujhaana bhi chaaho bujha na sakoge
kabhi naam baatoN meiN aaya jo mera
to bechain ho hoke dil thaam loge
to bechain ho hoke dil thaam loge
nigahon mein chaayega gham ka andhera
kisi ne jo poocha sabab-a-subooN ka
bataana bhi chaaho bata na sakoge

8. YOON ZINDAGI KI RAAH MEIN TAKRA GAYA KOI
yooN zindagi ki raah meiN takra gaya koi
ik roshni andheroN mein bikhra gaya koi
wo haadsa wo pehli mulaakat kyaa kahoon
itni ajab thi soorat haalat kya kahoon
wo kehar wo gazab wo jafa muJko yaad hai
wo uski berukhi ki adaa muJhko yaad hai
mittha nahin hai zehan pe yoon chaa gaya koi
yooN zindagi ki raah meiN takra gaya koi
pehle muJhe wo dekhke barham si ho gayee
fir apne hi haseeN khayaloN meiN kho gayee
bechargi pe meri usse reham aa gaya
shaayad mere taDapne ka andaaz bhaa gaya
saansoN se bhi kareeb mere aa gaya koi
yooN zindagi ki raah meiN takra gaya koi
yoon usne pyaar se meri baahOn ko choo liya
manzil ne jaise shaakh ke raahon ko choo liya
ik pal meiN dil pe kaise qayamt guzar gayi
rag rag mein uske husn ki khusboo bikhar gayi
zulfon ko mere shaan pe lehraa gaya koi
yooN zindagi ki raah meiN takra gaya koi
ab is dil-e-tabaah ki haalat na poochiye
benaam aarzoo ki lazzat na poochiye
ik ajnabi tha rooh ka armaan ban gaya
ik haadsa tha pyaar ka unwaan ban gaya
manzil ka raasta muJhe dikhla gaya koi
yooN zindagi ki raah meiN takra gaya koi

fir aake chale jaana ik baar chale aao
surat to dikha jaao, ik baar chale aao
tumko mere geeton ka sangeet bulata hai
kuch geet mere sun lo kuch apne suna jaao

kis baat pe roothe ho itna to bata jaao
kya dil ke tadapne ka ehsaas nahin tumko
ab jaan pe ban aayi lillah chale aao

ye tera naazuk badan hai ya koi mehka gulaab
kya karoon taarif teri har adaa hai laajawab

paaOn padte hain jahan pe phool khil jaate hain wahin
jaan le lega hamaari ik na ik din ye sabaab
ye tera naazuk badan hai ya koi mehka gulaab
ruk gaye saawan ke baadal zulf jab chehre pe paDi ho
dekh le jo unko shaayad bhool jaaye wo shaayari
sang-e-marmar ka badan hai ya kisi shaayar ka khwaab

rim jhim ki barsaat hai aur jaage huye jazbaat haiN
husN ki garmi pyaar ki narmi dono ab ik saath haiN

lage jalne hoth kunwaare
kuch samJho khudaa ishaare
dil hai pyaar ka pyaasa
aur bheege huye din raat haiN

12. SHIKWA NA KAR GILA NA KAR
shikwa na kar gila na kar ye duniya hai pyaare
yahan gham ke maare tadapte raheN
khizaN is gulistaaN meiN aati rahi hai
hawa sookhe patte uDaati rahi hai
yahan phool khilke baharon se milke bichadte rahe
shikwa na kar gila na kar ye duniya hai pyaare
yahan tere ashkoN ki keemat nahiN hai
reham karna duniya ki aadat nahiN hai
kisi ne na dekha yahan khooN ke aansoo dhalkte rahe
shikwa na kar gila na kar ye duniya hai pyaare
yahan ka dastoor hai khamosh rehna
jo guzri hai dil pe kisi se na kehna
ye din kaate hase yahan log bas ke ujaDte rahe
shikwa na kar gila na kar ye duniya hai pyaare

13. ILAAHI AANSOO BHARI ZINDAGI
ilaahi aansoo bhari zindagi kisi ko na de
khushi ke baad gham-e-bekasi kisi ko na de
udaas dil ki tamanna hai ashkbaar hooN maiN
khizaaN meiN jaise baaharoN ki yaadgaar hoon maiN
udaasi jis pe haNse wo hasi kisi ko na de
ilaahi aansoo bhari zindagi kisi ko na de
ujaad kar meri duniya ko rakh diya tune
meri hayat ke maalik ye kya kiya tune
jo gham naseeb ho aisi khushi kisi ko na de
khushi ke baad gham-e-bekasi kisi ko na de

14. IK HUSN KKI DEWI SE MUJHE PYAR
ik husn ki dewi se muJhe pyaar hua thaa
dil uski mohaabat meiN giraftaar hua thaa
wo roop ke jis roop se kaliyaN bhi lajaayeN
wo julf ke jis julf se sharmaaye ghaTaayeN
maikhane-e-nigaahon pe adaaoN ke taraane
de daale muJhe usne mohabbat ke khazaane
haan aisi hi ik raat thi aisa hi shama tha
ye chaand bhi poora thaa jamana bhi jawaan tha
ik peD ke saaye meiN jab ikraar hua thaa
kashmir ki waadi ke wo purnaikh nazaare
lamhaat mohaabt ke jahan humne guzaare
angDai na lekar meri baahon ke sahaare
gulnaar nazar aati thi wo sharm ke maare
ek tarafa na the husn-o-mohabbat ke ishaare
usne bhi kai baar mere baal sanwaare
ehsaas ka jazbaat ka izhaar hua thaa
kuch roz kate yoon hi bura waqt jab aaya
us husn ki dewi ne bhi nazroN ko firaaya
kurbat ne zamaane ke nighaahon se giraaya
aachal mere haathoN se mohaabat ne chuDaaya
ik raat ko usne muJhe sota hua choDa
chal di wo kahin pyaar ko rota hua choDa
soya hua main neend se jaaga jo sawere
wo jab na mili chaa gaye aankhoN meiN andhere
taqdir kisi ko bhi bure din na dikhaaye
hote hain bure waqt meiN apne bhi paraaye
kya pyaar ki daulat ka talabdaar hua thaa
