This is the opening song of an album Aajzi that me and my dear friend Farjad Nabi in 2001.

Rehmat- A prayer for rain

From Aajzi, Ustad Safdar Butt and myself as backup vocals, the Guru and the Disciple. Amongst my favorites in this album.

Baanheen na chhoriyye

This song of Aajzi came to us like an old song playing on radio on medium wave. It comes and goes and comes back again.

Keeh karda

One of favorites from Aajzi. The clarinet creates that morning farewell of night gone.

Frankly the original by Allan Faqir way way better. Even I do it better but it was so popular that we could not keep it out of Aajzi. In retrospect, I think the musicians needed to know this song for a long time before they record it.

Sursamundari

Aajzi

First version of a dialogue in a dream from Saifulmalook between the Prince and a fairy he has fallen for. The second part is the last song of Aajzi.

Didaar

We recorded this song many times for Aajzi but were never happy and not even with this one. In the meantime we found out that Punjabis are superstitious about it that if you sing this some one close to you dies. I  didn't believe it but every time I performed it, some one we knew passed away even if they were not close to us. Which is why now when some one requests for it now, I shudder at the idea and avoid performing it.

Lyrics:Shiv Kumar Batalvi

Mae Ni Mae

Mae Ni Mae Mere Geetan De Nenaan Wich Birhon Di Rarrak Paway
Addhi Addhi Raati, Uth Ron Moe Mitraan Noon,
Maae Sanoon Neend Na Paway

Mae Ni Mae….

Bhain Bhain Sogandhia Wich Bana Phe chananee De, Ta We Sadi Peer Na Saway
Kosay Kosay Sahaan De Mein Karan Je Takoor Mae
Sagon Sanu Khan Nu Pawey

Mae Ni Mae….

Ape Ne Mein Balaree Ha, Haley Apee Mata Jogi
Mat Kera Ais No Dawey,Akh Sun Maye Nu Roye Bul Chit Tene
Jag Kithey Sun Na Lawey

Mae Ni Mae….

Aakh Suni Kha Laye Tuk Hijran Da Pakhya, Lekhaan De Ne Puthre Tawey
Chat Le Tarel Nu We, Ghuma De Ghulab To Ee
Kalje No Hosla Rahwey

Mae Ni Mae….

Keriya Saperioyn Tu Manga Kunj Mael Di Mein, Mael Di Koi Kunj Dawey
Kera Ane Ghuman Diyen Rogian De Daran Utey,
Wang Khara Jogian Rahwey

Mae Ni Mae….

Peeray Ni Peeray , Pyaar Aise Titlee Hai Jeri Sada Suul Te Bawey
Pyaar Aisa Bohr Ha Ni, Jideh Kolon Vashna Wee
Lakhan Kohan Duur He Rawey

Mae Ni Mae….

Pyaar Woh Mehal Hai Ni, Jide Wich Pankhuan De Baaj Kuj Hor Na Rawey
Pyaar Aisa Aangna Hai Jide Wich Waslaan Da
Raatra Na Palang Dawey

Mae Ni Mae….

Aakh Mae Adhi Adhi Raati Moe Mitraan De Uchi Uchi Naam Na Lawey
Mate Sadey Moeyan Peechun Jag Eeh Shareekra Ni
Getaan No Wi Chandra Kahwey

Mae Ni Mae….

Mae Ni Mae Mere Geetan De Nenaan Wich Birhon Di Darrak Paway
Addhi Addhi Raati Uth, Roon Moe Mitraan Noon,
Mae Sanu Neend Na Pawey

Mae Ni Mae…
