Songs: Chithi Aayi Hain

There would not have been too many people who have not heard this song at least once. Featuring in the 1986 movie Naam starring Kumar Gaurav, Sanjay Dutt, Amrita Singh and Poonam Dhillon, the song was a mega-hit. Pankaj Udhas was a well known Ghazal singer even then, but this song made him very popular. The movie had music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and the movie was directed by Mahesh Bhatt and directed by Rajendra Kumar.
The song also touched a lot of NRI's, given that the song was essentially a reminder of home, and the people who have been left behind and who just have memories now. This movie was a movie that was supposed to bring Kumar Gaurav some success, but it was the role of Sanjay Dutt as the more wayward son (with a good heart), but who eventually gets involved in drug smuggling which gave a good filip to his fame.




Lyrics:

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,
Teri Maan Ka Haal Bura Hai
Teri Biwi Karti Hai Seva,
Soorat Se Lagti Hai Bewa
Toone Paisa Bahut Kamaaya,
Is Paise Ne Desh Chhudaaya
Panchhi Pinjra Todh Ke Aaja,
