Adab Nay Dil Kay

\"Adab Nay Dil Kay\" is a ghazal composition performed by Pakistani classical and ghazal vocalist Hamid Ali Khan. The track appears as the tenth entry on the album Ghazals, released in 1999 under the Shalimar Recording & Broadcasting Company Limited label. The recording was issued in CD format and features a runtime of 4 minutes and 33 seconds.

The album Ghazals compiles traditional and semi-classical ghazals, a poetic and musical form rooted in Urdu literature and North Indian classical traditions. Hamid Ali Khan delivers the track in his characteristic khayal-influenced style, blending intricate melodic phrasing with lyrical depth. The composition adheres to the structural conventions of ghazal performance, emphasizing improvisational taans and rhythmic cyclicity.

Limited public documentation exists regarding the specific poets, composers, or accompanying instrumentalists for this track. The album’s production credits and session details remain unverified in accessible sources. The label, Shalimar Recording & Broadcasting Company Limited, operated as a prominent distributor of Pakistani classical and ghazal music during the late 20th century, though its current status is unclear.

\"Adab Nay Dil Kay\" exemplifies the ghazal repertoire of the 1990s, a period marked by the commercial viability of the genre in South Asia. Hamid Ali Khan’s rendition reflects the era’s preference for studio-recorded ghazals that balanced traditional aesthetics with contemporary audio production techniques.
