Need a translation of Chitti
Aayee Hai–Pankaj Udhas
Chitthi Aayi Hai Aayi Hai
Chitthi Aayi Hai
Chitthi Aayi Hai Vatan Se
Chitthi Aayi Hai
Bade Dinon Ke Baad,
Hum Bevatnon Ko Yaad
Vatan Ki Mitti Aayi Hai,
Chitthi Aayi Hai ...
Upar Mera Naam Likha Hai,
Andar Ye Paigham Likha Hai
O Pardes Ko Jaane Vaale,
Laut Ke Phir Na Aane Vaale
Saat Samundar Paar Gaya Tu,
Humko Zinda Maar Gaya Tu
Khoon Ke Rishte Todh Gaya Tu,
Aankh Mein Aansoo Chhodh Gaya Tu
Kum Khaate Hain Kum Sote Hain,
Bahut Zyaada Hum Rote Hain
Chitthi Aayi Hai ...
Sooni Ho Gaeen Shehar Ki Galiyaan,
Kaante Ban Gaeen Baag Ki Kaliyaan
Kehte Hain Saawan Ke Jhule,
Bhool Gaya Tu Hum Nahin Bhoole
Tere Bin Jab Aayi Diwali,
Deep Nahin Dil Jale Hain Khaali
Tere Bin Jab Aayi Holi,
Pichkaari Se Chhooti Goli
Peepal Soona Panghat Soona
Ghar Shamshaan Ka Bana Namoona
Fasal Kati Aayi Baisakhi,
Tera Aana Reh Gaya Baaki
Chitthi Aai Hai ...
Pehle Jab Tu Khat Likhta Tha
Kaagaz Mein Chehra Dikhta Tha
Bund Hua Yeh Mel Bhi Ab To,
Khatam Hua Yeh Khel Bhi Ab To
Doli Mein Jab Baithi Behna,
Rasta Dekh Rahe The Naina
Maein To Baap Hoon Mera Kya Hai,

Chitthi Aayi Hai Aayi Hai
The letter has come, has come
Chitthi Aayi Hai
The letter has come
Chitthi Aayi Hai Vatan Se
The letter has come from my home country
Chitthi Aayi Hai
The letter has come
Bade Dinon Ke Baad,
After so many days
Hum Bevatnon Ko Yaad
We, strangers of our own country, remember
Vatan Ki Mitti Aayi Hai,
The soil of our country
Chitthi Aayi Hai ...
The letter has come
Upar Mera Naam Likha Hai,
My name is written at the top
Andar Ye Paigham Likha Hai
Inside a message is written
O Pardes Ko Jaane Vaale,
Oh the one who has gone abroad
Laut Ke Phir Na Aane Vaale
The one who will not return back
Saat Samundar Paar Gaya Tu,
You have gone across the seven seas
Humko Zinda Maar Gaya Tu
You have killed me even though I am living
Khoon Ke Rishte Todh Gaya Tu,
You broke the relationship of the blood
Aankh Mein Aansoo Chhodh Gaya Tu
You left tears in the eyes
Kum Khaate Hain Kum Sote Hain,
We eat less, we sleep less
Bahut Zyaada Hum Rote Hain
We cry a lot more
Chitthi Aayi Hai ...
The letter has come…</spa
