There is no doubt that “Teri Soorat / Main Sharaabi” is Aziz Mian’s signature piece and one of the masterpieces of qawwali. It centers around two works: the Urdu ghazal “Teri Soorat Nigaahon Men” by Tabhish Kanpuri which transitions into the takraar (refrain/chorus) “Main Sharaabi” which was penned by Aziz Mian himself.
