Mere Chanda Mere Nanhe Song Lyrics in English
Mere chanda mere nanhe, tujhe apne sine se kaise lagaau
Suni godi mein kaise uthaau, chhup gaye laadle aanchalo mein
Raat pariyo ka paigaam laayi, kis tarah so gaya tu akele
Kis tarah bin mere nind aayi, mere chanda mere nanhe…..
Tere sapne mein aa toh gayi main, apani majburiya kya bataau
Bund bhi tann mein baaki nahi hai, bhukh teri main kaise mitaau
Mere chanda mere nanhe…..
Aadmi bhi hai, bhagwaan bhi hai, phir bhi phirta hai tu besahaara
Kaun tujhko gale se lagaaye, pattharon ka hai yeh shehar saara
Mere chanda mere nanhe…..
Dur jaana hai nanhe musaafir, raaste mein kahi thak na jaana
Thaamake meri aahon ki dori, dhund le tu hi apana thikaana
Mere chanda mere nanhe…..
Mere Chanda Mere Nanhe Hindi Song Lyrics Translation
मात्र चंदा मेरे नानहे, तुजे अयने साइन से काइज़ लागौ
सुनी गोडी मीन काइज़ उथौ, छप गेई लॉएडल आंचलो मीन
रत पारिओ का पाइगाम लायई, किस तारह तो गया तु ऐले
किस तारा बिन मात्र निंद आरी, मेरे चंदा मेरे नानहे …..
तेरे सैने मीन आहा तोह गेई मेन, अपानी माजबुरिया काय बाटाऊ
बंड भाई टैन मीन बाकी नाही है, भुख तेरी मेन काइस मिताऊ
मेरे चंदा मेरे नानहे …..
आदमी भी है, भगवण भी है, फिर भी फिर्ता है तु बेसनारा
कौन तुज्हको गैले से लगया, पट्थारन का है ये आशेर सारा
मेरे चंदा मेरे नानहे …..
डूर जना है नाने मुसाफिर, रायस्ट मीन काई थक ना जान
थामके मेरी आहोन की डोरी, धुंद ले तु हाय अपाना थिकाना
मेरे चंदा मेरे नानहे …..
About the movie – Aakhri Khat
It was in scenic Kulu that Govind Bali had first met Lajo, both fell in love, got married secretly in a temple and parted company. When Lajo becomes pregnant, her step-mother sells her to a man for 500 Rupees, where she is beaten and thrown out. She goes to Govind, who is on the verge of going to America, who refuses to believe that the child is his. Lajo writes a letter informing him that she will never see him again. Govind re-locates to Bombay where he starts his own business, and makes a sculpture of Lajo. She writes to him from Amritsar when she gives birth to Buntu his son. She again writes to him from Delhi when he begins to walk, and yet another letter when he begins to talk. The last two letters that Govind receives inform him that Lajo and Buntu are now in Bombay, that Lajo is seriously ill and may not live long. Shortly thereafter Govind goes to the police, meets with a skeptical Inspector Naik, and a few days later he is asked to identify Lajo’s lifeless body found on the beach. Then the search begins for Buntu, who is only 15 months old, no one know what he looks like, and whether he is still alive or not. How can Govind and the police ever locate a child, in a city of millions of similar-aged children, and if at all they do, how can they positively identify him as Govind’s child?
