माही · ماہی
Maahi (also mahiya) is a Punjabi word for one's beloved or sweetheart — an affectionate name for the person you love.
A Punjabi term of endearment for the beloved, widely used across Punjabi and Hindi song traditions.
Maahi is intimate and informal where mehboob is formal and literary. It sounds spoken rather than written, which is much of its appeal.
Its softness makes it a natural refrain word — short, open-voweled and easy to hold across a long note.
