Billo De Ghar (Punjabi: بلو دے گھر) is debut album of Pakistani pop singer Abrar-ul-Haq. It was a best selling album in South Asia. Released in 1995, it was written, composed and sung by Abrar-ul-Haq. To date, more than 16 million copies of this song have been sold.[1] The lyrics of the songs are in Punjabi and Urdu.

Although, the album's highly successful title song Billo De Ghar is in Punjabi, in all only three of its ten tracks are in Punjabi the rest are in Urdu.

Murri Shehry Di Niki, one of three Punjabi tracks, is in a dialect of Punjabi called Pothohari which is mostly spoken in Murri, Islamabad and Rawalpindi. It may be an influence of the time Abrar spent in Islamabad for his Master's degree.
