Chitthii aaii hai aaii hai chitthi aaii hai
Chitthii aaii hai vatan se chitthii aaii hai
Bade dinoN ke baad hum be-vatanoN ko yaad
Vatan ki mittii aaii hai, chitthii aaii hai.


Upar mera naam likha hai, andar ye paigham likha hai
O pardes ko jane wale, laut ke phir na aane wale
Saat samandar paar gayaa tu, humko zinda maar gayaa tu
Khoon ke rishte torr gayaa tu
aaNkh meiN aaNsoo chhorr gayaa tu
kam khate haiN kam sote haiN
bahut ziyada hum rote haiN.


sooni ho gaii shehr ki galiyaN, kaNte ban gaii bagh ki kaliyaN
kehte haiN sawan ke jhoole, bhool gayaa tu hum nahiN bhoole
tere bina jab aaii diwali
deep nahiN dil jale haiN khali
tere bin jab aaii holi
pichkari se chhooti goli
peepal soona panghat soona
ghar shamshan ka banaa namoona
fasal kati aaii baisakhii
tera aana reh gayaa baqi.


Pehle jab tu khat likhta tha, kaghaz meiN chehra dikhta tha
Band hua ye mel bhi ab to, khatm hua ye khel bhi ab to
Doli meiN jab baithii behna, rastaa dekh rahe the nayna
Main to baap huN mera kya hai
Teri maaN ka haal bura hai
Teri beewi karti hai seva
Soorat se lagti hai bewa
Tone paisa bahut kamaya
Is paise ne des chhurraya
Des paraya chhorr ke aa ja
paNchhi pinjra torr ke aa ja
aa ja umr bahut hai chhoti
apne ghar meiN bhi hai roti.


Chitthi aaii hai aaii hai chitthi aaii hai.
