It's hackneyed (crappy!) use of Punjabi in a Hindi song. It's usage is kinda inappropriate -- they are just trying to give the song a generic Punjabi "feel." "shaava" comes from "shaabaash" (literally "bravo", "right on!", but here just like "Hey , hey!") maahiya is the vocative (calling/address) form of maahi, which literally means "buffalo herder/grazer" but which came to mean "lover" based on the fact that the hero-lover in several Punjabi romances has been a shepherd.

Its root is: Shaad Baash, Persian phrase meaning: Be Happy! that mixed & changed into Hindi accent!
