fauji gaya jab gaanv mein
fauji gaya jab gaanv mein
pahan ke rangarut
ful but paanv mein
fauji gaya jab gaanv mein
fauji gaya jab gaanv mein

pehle logo ne rakha tha
mera naam nikhattu
do din mein jag aise
ghuma jaise ghuma lattu
bharati ho ke karanaila
karanail sinh ban baitha
mera baapu saath mere
jaranail sinh ban baitha
aate dekha mujhko
to karane lage salaami
aage pichhe daude chacha
chachi mama mami yaro ne saman
utha kar rakha apane sar pe
daravaje par baithe the
sab jab main pahuncha ghar pe
kas kar pure jor se
phir maine sailyut jo maara
sabki chhutti ho gayi
phir maine but jo maara
fauji gaya jab gaanv mein
fauji gaya jab gaanv mein

ghar ke andar ja kar
phir jab maine khola baksa
dekh rahe the sab
dekhe jag ka naksha
sabako tha maalum sham
ko khulegi ram ki botal
sab aa baithe ghar par mere
ghar mera ban gaya hotal
bich mein baitha tha main
sab baithe the aaju baaju
itane mein banduk chali
bhayi gaanv mein aaye daaku
utar gayi thi sabaki
chhup gaye saare dar ke maare
main ghar se nikala sab
mera naam pukaare
maar ke laathi zamin pe
jhat se daakuyo ko lalakara
ve the chaar akela main
maine chaaro ko maara
fauji gaya jab gaanv mein
fauji gaya jab gaanv mein

chhod ke apne ghode
daaku jaan bacha kar bhage
meri vaah-vaah karate
subah nind se log jaage
main kheto ki sair ko
nikala mausam tha mastana
raste mein vo mili mera
jisse tha ishq purana
kab sune aur kab sunaaye
kisse agle pichhale
nikla chand to ham
dono bhi khet se baahar nikale
haay-haay mach gaya
shor saare gaanv mein
fauji gaya jab gaanv mein
fauji gaya jab gaanv mein

When the soldier came to his village,
a recruit in uniform,
in weary boots,
when the soldier came to his village.

First, they called me a layabout,
but in two days the world
spun, a spinning top's dance.
Becoming Indian, I became
Karanaila, Karanaila Singh.
My father with me,
became Jareil Singh.
Seeing me approach,
they began to salute.
Uncles, aunts, mamas, mamas,
friends ran back and forth.
They lifted the luggage
and placed it on their heads.
Everyone sat at the door,
when I reached home.
With all my might,
then I saluted.
Everyone scattered,
when the soldier came to his village.

Entering the house,
when I opened my trunk,
everyone was watching,
looking at the world's map.
Everyone knew that
Ram's bottle would open in the evening.
Everyone sat in my house,
my house became a hotel.
I sat in the middle,
everyone sat around me.
Suddenly, a gunshot,
the bandits came to the village.
Everyone was frightened,
everyone hid in fear.
I came out of the house,
everyone called my name.
Striking the ground with a stick,
I immediately challenged the bandits.
They were four, I alone,
I struck all four.
when the soldier came to his village.

Leaving their horses,
the bandits fled, saving their lives.
People woke up from sleep,
praising me.
I went for a walk in the fields,
the weather was intoxicating.
On the way, I met her,
with whom my love was old.
When to listen and when to tell
the stories, the past and the future.
The moon rose, we both
came out of the fields.
Alas, there was an uproar
in the whole village,
when the soldier came to his village.
