\"Ghaim Hae Ya Khushi Hae Too\" is a qawwali composition performed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The track appears as the sixth entry on the album Mae Ni Mae, released on 1992 under the label OSA (Oriental Star Agencies).

The song exemplifies Khan’s mastery of the qawwali genre, characterized by its devotional themes, rhythmic clapping (taali), and layered harmonium accompaniment. The lyrics explore themes of spiritual longing and divine union, a recurring motif in Khan’s repertoire. The composition follows the raag-based structure typical of South Asian classical music, though specific raag details for this track remain undocumented in widely available sources.

Mae Ni Mae marks one of Khan’s numerous studio albums released during the 1990s, a period when his international collaborations expanded while maintaining roots in traditional qawwali. The OSA label, known for its focus on Pakistani classical and devotional music, distributed the album primarily in South Asia and among global audiences through specialized retailers.
