[SAUNDERSAN]

This movie was released when I was in school... I haven't seen the movie and I chanced upon this song only when I heard one of my Dad's friends sang this at a party... Invariably in every party he was asked to sing, he sang this song. He was in a transferrable job and may be this song meant so much to him as he was away from home most of the time... his voice and the way he sang this song made this song haunt me forever!
Ofcourse, now I am not in India and it means more to me now... another similar song is the one from DDLJ...

Lyrics: Anand Bakshi

chithi aayi hai aayi haai chithi aayi hai
chithi aayi hai watan se chithi aayi hai
badE dinon ke baad ham bewatanOn ke paas,
watan ki mitti aayi hai, chithi aayi hai.
chithi aayi hai watan se chithi aayi hai...

upar mera naam likha hai, ander yeh paigaam likha hai
Oh pardes ko jaane wale, lout ke phir na aane waale
saat samunder paar gaya tu, hamko jinda maar gaya tu
Khoon ke rishtey tOd gaya tu, aankh mein aasoo chOd gaya tu,
kam khaatey hai kamm sotey hain, bahut hi jayada ham rotey hain.
Chithi aayi hai aayi hai.....

sooni ho gayin shehar ki galiyan, kaantey ban gaye baag ki kalian
kehte hain sawan ke jhooley bhool gaya tuu ham nahin bhooley
tere bin jabh aayi diwali, deep nahin dil jale hain khali
tere bin jabh aayi holi, pichkari se chooti goli
pippal soona panghat soona, ghar shamshan ka bana hai namoona
fasal kati aayi besakhi, tera aana reh gaya baki
Chithi aayi hai aayi hai chithi aayi hai...

Pehle jabh too khat likhta tha, kagaz main chehra dikhta tha
Band hua yeh mEl bhi abh tO , band huya yeh khEl bhi abh tO
Doli main jabh baitie behna rasta dekh rahe the naina
Main tO baap hoon mera kya hai, teri maa ka haal bura hai
Teri bibi karti hai sewa , surat se lagti hai meva.
Tuney paisa bahut kamaya , is paise ne des chudaya
Des paraya chouD ke aaja , panchi pinjra tord ke aaja -2
Aa ja umar bahut hai choti apne ghar main bhi hai roti.
chithi aayi hai ....

chithi aayi hai aayi hai chithi aayi hai
badE dinon ke baad ham bewatanOn ke paas,
Watan ki mitti aayi hai, chithi aayi hai aayi hai.
Bade dinon ke baad, watan ki mitti aayi hai.
Chithi aayi hai aayi hai aayi hai.
