O Ri Chiraiya Lyrics (with English Meaning) – Satyamev Jayate
O ri Chiraiya Nanhi si chidiya
O bird, little bird…
Angna mein phir aaja re
Come back to my courtyard again.
O ri Chiraiya Nanhi si chidiya
O bird, little bird…
Angna mein phir aaja re
Come back to my courtyard again.
Andhiyara hai ghana aur lahoo se sana
The darkness is dense and it is sullied with blood,
Kirno ke tinke ambar se chun ke
Pick some twigs of the sun’s rays from the sky,
Angna mein phir aaja re
Come back to my courtyard again,
Humne tujhpe hazaro sitam hain kiye
We have done thousands of injustices to you.
Humne tujhpe jahan bhar ke zulm kiye
We have inflicted all the tyrannies of the world on you.
Humne socha nahi
We never gave a thought,
Tu jo ud jayegi
That if you flew away,
Ye zameen tere bin sooni reh jayegi
This earth will remain deserted without you…
Kiske dum pe sajega mera angna
With whose presence shall my yard be adorned…
O Ri Chiraiya, Meri Chiraiya, Angna mein phir aaja re
O birdie…O my bird, Come back to my courtyard again.
Tere pankho mein saare sitare jadooN
I want to inlay all the stars in your wings,
Teri chunar dhanak satrangi bunooN
I want to weave a rainbow-colored scarf for you.
Tere kajal mein main kaali raina bharooN
In your kohl, I want to pour a pleasant back night.
Teri mehandi mein main kachchi dhoop malooN
In your Henna, I want to blend the warmth of the soft sunlight.
Tere naino sajaa doon naya sapna
Let me decorate your eyes with new dreams.
O Ri Chiraiya, Meri Chiraiya, Angna mein phir aaja re
O birdie…O my bird, Come back to my courtyard again.
