"Oh woman (mutiyare) come down"
"Bachelor boys live up there

Hath vich sheesha savaran pattiyan.

Chorus
Ek pal behi jana, aha
Ve ek pal behi jana mere kol
Ve tere mithrde ni, hoy
Ve tere mithrde ni lagde bol
oho oho oho hai

Ki teriyan ladiyan Parjaiyan
Ki baji phir kade na aiyan
Ek pal...

Jind Mahi ambiyan te a gaya boor
Ki jattiyan de mukhrde te varda noor
Jinno vekh ke charde saroor
Ek pal....

Jind Mahi je turiyo patiale
Othon liyavi reshmi naale
Ade chitte oye, ade kale
Ek pal..

Chtthi Aayi Hai
Album: Naam
Singer: 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,
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.
