"'''In Ankhon Ki Masti Ke'''" (English: "From the Joy of These Eyes") is an [[Urdu]] song from the Indian film ''[[Umrao Jaan (1981 film)|Umrao Jaan]]'' (1981). The music to this song was composed by [[Mohammed Zahur Khayyam|Khayyam]], the lyrics written by [[Akhlaq Mohammed Khan|Shahryar]], and sung by [[Asha Bhosle]]. <br />
<br />
[[Rekha]], playing the title character of Umrao Jaan, performs the ''[[ghazal]]'' as part of the ''[[mujra]]'' of Umrao's debut as courtesan.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Southeast Review of Asian Studies |title=The Movie Mujra: The Trope of the Courtesan in Urdu-Hindi Film|author=John Caldwell|volume=32|year=2010|url=http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.453.4579&rep=rep1&type=pdf#page=136|accessdate=17 June 2021}}</ref> The mujra marks the first time Umrao sees her love interest, Sultan Nawab, played by [[Farooq Sheikh]]. While the lyrics of the song speak of the thousands intoxicated by Umrao's eyes, once she and Nawab see each other, there is space for no other. Umrao spins in her kathak dance whilst singing the song, and her eyes return to Nawab upon completing each round. At the end of the song, she settles into a veiled pose after which she lifts her veil to look directly at Nawab, with a gesture '' both forceful and erotic'' to force him to look into her eyes.<ref>{{cite thesis|title=Contested Spaces: Performances of Marginality in Bollywood Cinema |author=Lauren Bettridge|type=PhD |publisher=The University of Western Australia|page=45}}</ref><br />
