Raga Jaijaivanti also spelled as Jaijaiwanti is a rāga in Hindustani classical music in Khamaj thaat. According to the Guru Granth Sahib, this raga is a mixture of two other ragas - Bilaval and Sorath. This raga has not been mentioned in any ancient Indian classical scriptures on music. It is also not mentioned in the ragamalas at the end of Granth Sahib.

Raga Jaijaivanti is sung during the first prahar of the night - from six to nine in the evening. Its season of recitation is summer or grishma. It is noted to have been composed by Guru Tegh Bahadur.

Lyrics

Eri Sakhi More Piyā Ghar Aaye
Bhāg Lage Is Aangan Ko
Apne Piyā Ke Main Bal Bal Jāun
Charan Lagāyo Nirdhan Ko

Eri Sakhi More Piyā Ghar Aaye

Main Toh Khadi Thi Aas Lagāye
Mehndi Kajrā Māng Sajāye
Dekhi Suratiyā Apne Piyā Ki
Hār Gayi Main Tann Mann Ko

Eri Sakhi More Piyā Ghar Aaye

Jiskā Piyā Sang Beete Sāvan
Us Dulhan Ki Raen Suhāgan
Jis Sāvan Mein Piyā Ghar Nāhi
Aag Lage Us Sāvan Ko

Eri Sakhi More Piyā Ghar Aaye


ऐ री सखी मोरे पिया घर आए
भाग लगे इस आँगन को
अपने पिया के मैं बल-बल जाऊँ
चरन लगायो निर्धन को

ए री सखी मोरे पिया घर आए

मैं तो खड़ी थी आस लगाए
मेंहदी कजरा माँग सजाए
देख सूरतिया अपने पिया की
हार गई मैं तन मन को

ए री सखी मोरे पिया घर आए

जिसका पिया संग बीते सावन
उस दुल्हन की रैन सुहागन
जिस सावन में पिया घर नाहि
आग लगे उस सावन को

ए री सखी मोरे पिया घर आए

look up, it isn't a mere vision,  
look up, the sky awaits for us all, 
look around, the journey has just begun, 
look down, you've just dug yourself a hole, 

its not the time to hide,
but for a ramble outside 
the rain had fallen for a reason, 
its the start of another…season… 

look up, little birds singing so freely on a tree, 
look up, kites are flying high and free, 
look inside, I feel a calm take over me, as I seek 
the key out of this square
built around me and there is no spare 

Repeat Chorus 

Season…another season, another season, another season, another season

Another season you've come this way, 
I couldn't wait another day, 
been a long dry spell for a thirsty mind, 
and now its got to find, 
the missing pieces of the puzzle,
the words that could best describe his trouble, 
and now you're here so stick around, 
but we're all time bound 

Season, season….

Same Sky

Look

When You(Balcony TV Version)
