Gibb probably knows for sure but I remember reading a few things. http://wondersofpakistan.wordpress.com/2010/06/15/jugni/
That article sums it up quite nicely though. Essentially Jugni is a corruption of the word Jubilee and was used as a socio political song ----> turned into a song about a girl's devotion to Hazrat Ali ---->turned into a song about a girl who roams around Punjab breakin hearts.
