Aaja Mahi

Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi 
Dil da rog muka ja mahi; 
Akhiyaa di pyaas bujha ja mahi 
Takni nu ghar aaja mahi 
Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi 
Loye loye ... ghar aaja mahi 

Dil da rog muka ja mahi;  Akhiyaa di pyaas bujha ja mahi 
Takni nu ghar aaja mahi 
Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi 
Loye loye ... ghar aaja mahi 

Sa re sa re ga re ga re ga ma ga re ga 
Ni dha ni dha ma ma re sa re 
Da ga ma ga ma ga re sa 

Teri harasa dil vich rakhiya 
Harve tera takiya akhiyan 
Mahi tera gadh garlanna 
Thane tere devan sakhiya 

Ake mukh dikhlaja mahi 

Akhiyan di pyaas bujha ja maahi 
Takni tu ghar aaja maahi... 
Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi, 
Loye loye... ghar aaja mahi 

Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi 

Tu aaye to serj bichava 
Samne baithe haal sunawa 
Jindri ke dukh, sukh jal sare 
Zakhm hi jane de hor mukhawa 

Lagiyan di laaj nibha ja maahi 

Akhiyaa di pyaas bujha ja mahi 



 
Takni nu ghar aaja mahi 
Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi
