pyaar bhara ek khat aaya hain jisme ghar ki khushbu hain
pyaar bhara ek khat aaya hain jisme ghar ki khushbu hain
padhte padhte bhigi palke padhate padhte bhigi palke
aankhon se chhalka aansu hain aansu hain
pyaar bhara ek khat aaya hain jisme ghar ki khushbu hain

is bar piya tum na aana ye gam ham tum seh lenge
is bar piya tum na aana ye gam ham tum seh lenge
kuch paise bach jayenge
kuch paise bach jayenge bititya ke jewar le lenge
likhte likhte aankh bhar aayi
likhte likhte aankh bhar aayi dil pe kiska kabu hain kaabu hain
pyaar bhara ek khat aaya hain jisme ghar ki khushbu hain

budhi maa ki budhi aankhe dekhe ye ghar ka har kona
budhi maa ki budhi aankhe dekhe ye ghar ka har kona
bete ki thaali roj parose
bete ki thaali roj parose jaane kis din ho aana
pal pal maa ka dil rota hain
pal pal maa ka dil rota hain mamta to bekabu hai bekabu hai
pyaar bhara ek khat aaya hain jisme ghar ki khushbu hain

wo pipal ki chhaanv ghaneri duaao jaisa apna gaanv
wo pipal ki chhaanv ghaneri duaao jaisa apna gaanv
tumko pukaare gaanv ki galiya
tumko pukaare gaanv ki galiya mehkte sare phul aur kaliya
birah ki raate katt jaayegi hone ko roshan jugnu hain jugnu hain
pyaar bhara ek khat aaya hain jisme ghar ki khushbu hain
padhte padhte bhigi palke padhte padhte bhigi palke
aankhon se chhalka aansu hain aansu hain
pyaar bhara ek khat aaya hain jisme ghar ki khushbu hain

A letter of love arrives, scented with home,
A letter of love arrives, scented with home,
Reading it through, my lashes weep, reading it through, my lashes weep,
Tears spill forth, a river's foam, a river's foam.
A letter of love arrives, scented with home.

This time, beloved, do not return, this sorrow we shall bear,
This time, beloved, do not return, this sorrow we shall bear,
Some money saved, some money saved,
For daughter's jewels, a burden we will share.
Writing these lines, my eyes overflow, writing these lines, my eyes overflow,
Who can command the heart's despair, the heart's despair?
A letter of love arrives, scented with home.

Old mother's eyes, aged and frail, scan every corner of the home,
Old mother's eyes, aged and frail, scan every corner of the home,
Each day her son's plate she sets, each day her son's plate she sets,
Knowing not when his homecoming will roam.
Moment by moment, her heart weeps, moment by moment, her heart weeps,
A mother's love, beyond control, beyond control.
A letter of love arrives, scented with home.

Beneath the peepal's heavy shade, a village like a prayer,
Beneath the peepal's heavy shade, a village like a prayer,
The lanes of the village call for you, the lanes of the village call for you,
Fragrant flowers, buds beyond compare.
Nights of separation will be severed, nights of separation will be severed,
Fireflies to illuminate, to illuminate, there.
A letter of love arrives, scented with home.
Reading it through, my lashes weep, reading it through, my lashes weep,
Tears spill forth, a river's foam, a river's foam.
A letter of love arrives, scented with home.
