"Piya Tu Ab To Aja" (transl. 'Come to me now, my love') is a single by Indian playback singer Asha Bhosle featuring composer R. D. Burman. The song was originally recorded for the 1971 Hindi film Caravan.
Widely regarded as the quintessential cabaret number in Hindi cinema, the track gained iconic status through its picturization on actress Helen. The single was composed and produced by R. D. Burman with lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
Music scholar Nilanjana Bhattacharjya cited "Piya Tu Ab To Aja" as one of the culturally significant tracks in the context of Hindi film music. The song has also been described as "the catalyst" that solidified Asha Bhosle's reputation as the leading performer of cabaret-style numbers in Bollywood.
