dhup paani pe baras jaaye ye saaye banaye, mitaye
main kahun, aur tu aa jaaye behlaye
har duri sharmaye tu saath hai
ho din raat hai parchhaiya batlaye
tu saath hai din raat hai
saaya saaya mahi ve mahi ve
meri har baat me saath tu hai
mahi ve maahi ve mere saare haalaat tu
maahi ve aye aye aye aye o
maahi ye aye aye aye aye o

haye sataye manaye sataye
tu rulaye, hansaye bhi tu hi
hum saye har duri sharmaye
tu sath hai ho din raat hai parchhaiya batlaye
tu sath hai ho din raat hai
saaya saaya maahi ve maahi ve
meri sab raaz kal aaj tu hai
maahi ve maahi ve meri har udan ek tu
maahi ve aye aye aye ye o
maahi ye aye aye aye ye o
maahi ve maahi ve

ye jina bhi na jina bhi hai dono ka tumse hi vasta
o main hi to hun tera pata hai dusra na koi rasta
aaye mujh tak wo tumko jo ho dhundhta
meri khamoshiyo me hai tu bolta
ye jina bhi na jina bhi jo bhi hua hai wo tumse hua
maahi ve maahi ve maahi ve

Sunlight on water, shadows dance, born and then erased,
I call, and you appear, a comfort embraced.
Each distance shy, for you are near,
Day and night, shadows whisper clear,
You are here, day and night.

Shadow, shadow, my love, my love,
In every word, you are above.
My love, my love, in all I face, you are,
My love, oh, oh, oh, oh,
My love, oh, oh, oh, oh.

You torment, you soothe, you tease,
You make me weep, you bring me ease.
We are shadows, each distance shy,
You are near, day and night, shadows sigh,
You are here, day and night.

Shadow, shadow, my love, my love,
My secrets past and present, you weave above.
My love, my love, in every flight, you are,
My love, oh, oh, oh, oh,
My love, oh, oh, oh, oh.
My love, my love.

To live or not to live, both bound to you,
You are the essence, the only clue.
If they seek me, they seek you,
In my silence, your voice rings true.
To live or not to live, whatever is, is you,
My love, my love, my love.
