Loay Loay Aaja Mahi

Dil da rog muka ja 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 aaja mahi, aaja mahi 
Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi 
Loye loye ... ghar aaja mahi   
Dil da rog muka ja mahi;

Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi 
Loye loye aaja mahi, 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 

Teri harasa dil vich rakhiya 
Harve tera takdiya akhiya 
Mahi tera gadh garlanna 
Thane tere devan sakhiya 
Takni nu ghar aaja mahi 
— Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan 

Ake mukh dikhlaja mahi 

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

Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi 
Aaja mahi, aaja mahi,

Loye loye aaja mahi. 

Tu aaye to serj bichava 
Samne baithe haal sunawa 

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

Lagiyan di laaj nibha ja maahi 

Lagiyan di laaj nibha ja maahi 
Akhiyaa di pyaas bujha ja mahi 
Takni nu ghar aaja mahi 
Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi 
Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi 
Loye loye... ghar aaja mahi 

Binje tere de mang mukhaya 
Papar sine de vich lagya 

Binje tere de mang mukhaya 
Papar sine de vich lagya 
Ro ro nir bahavar aakhiyaan 
Sawan aye na kyun tarpeya 

Sawan aye na kyun tarpeya 
Vaasta Raab da aaja maahi 

Vaasta Raab da aaja maahi 
Akhiya di pyaas bujha ja maahi 
Takni tu ghar aaja maahi... 
Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi, 



 
Loye loye aaja mahi, aaja mahi, 
Loye loye... ghar aaja mahi.
