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

'Eri Sakhi' - Ujwal Nagar & Nilotpal Sinha

"Night Song" is part of series 2 of the Real World Gold re-issued albums - released 30th July.

The great – and ridiculously prolific – Pakistani qawwali singer had already recorded half a dozen albums for Real World when he delivered this peach in 1996. Effectively the sequel to 1990’s classic Mustt Mustt, Nusrat is here reunited with the Canadian musician/producer Michael Brook and once again the partnership tests the emotional boundaries of the human voice. Timeless, state-less and, nearly two decades on, ageless. It wasn’t made in Detroit or Memphis, but this truly is soul music.
“An album for the ages, defying genre and solidifying Khan’s stature as one of the world’s pre-eminent singers” – Billboard
