Mirzya is the soundtrack album to the 2016 film of the same name directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra from a story written by Gulzar, loosely inspired on the Punjabi folklore of Mirza Sahiban. The film's music is composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy collaborating with Mehra after Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) and composed nine songs for the film, and six short songs based on the folklore has been composed by singer Daler Mehndi; all of them were written by Gulzar. The soundtrack accompanied all the 15 tracks that influenced a variety of genres such as electronic dance, jazz, blues, folk, retro, classical and Sufi music.

The soundtrack was released under the T-Series label on 7 September 2016. Music critics praised the composition, blend of genres, lyrics and instrumentation, terming it as one of Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy's finest works in their career after Dil Chahta Hai (2001) and Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003).[1][2] Later appearing in several year-end and decade-end lists, the album received two nominations for Filmfare Awards, one International Indian Film Academy Award and five Mirchi Music Awards winning two.
