Lyrics

Chhod aaye ham woh galiya

छोड आए हम वो गलियां

we left those streets

Jaha tere pairo ke kawal gira karte the

जहां तेरे जोड़े के कवल गिरा करते थे

where only your couple used to fall

Hanse toh do gaalo me bhanvar pada karte the

हंस तो दो गालो में भंवर पड़ा करते थे

The swan used to swirl in two cheeks

Teree kamar ke bal pe nadee muda karte thee

तेरी कमर के बाल पे नदी मुड़ा करते थे

River used to turn on the hair of your waist

Hansee teree sun sunke phasal paka karatee thee

हांसी तेरी सुनके चरण पक्का कराते थे

Hansi used to make your feet firm by listening to you

Chhod aaye ham woh galiya........

छोड आए हम वो गलियां.........

We left those lanes.........

O jahan teree edi se dhup uda karatee thee

ओ जहान तेरी एडी से धूप उड़ कराती थी

O Jahan used to make sunshine fly from your heels

Suna hai uss chaukhat pe abb sham raha karatee hai

सुना है उस चौखट पे अब शाम रहा करता है

I have heard that the evening now stays on that doorway

Lato se ulajhee lipatee ek rat hua karatee thee

लतो से उलटी लिपटी एक चूहा हुआ कराती थी

used to make a mouse wrapped upside down

Kabhee kabhee takiya pe woh bhee mila karatee thee

कभी कभी तकिया पे वो भी मिला कराती थे

Sometimes she used to get them mixed on the pillow too.

Chhod aaye ham woh galiya........

छोड आए हम वो गलियां.........

We left those lanes.........

Dil dard ka tukda hai patthar kee dalee see hai

दिल दर्द का टुकड़ा है पत्थर की डाली देखें है

Heart is a piece of pain, see the branch of stone

Ek andha kuan hai ya ak band galee see hai

एक अंधा कुआं है या एक बंद गली देखें है

is a blind well or see a closed alley

Ek chhota sa lamha hai jo khatm nahee hota

एक छोटा सा लम्हा है जो खतम नहीं होता

there's a little moment that never ends

Mai lakh jalata hu (yeh bhasm nahee hota -2)

माई लाख जलाता हूं (ये भस्म नहीं होता-2)

I burn my lac (it is not consumed)

Chhod aaye ham woh galiya........

छोड आए हम वो गलियां.........

We left those lanes.........

About the movie

Summary

Following the assassination of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the Prime Minister of India, at the hands of her Sikh bodyguards, a wave of violence broke out against innocent Sikhs and their families. Pressure was also brought on the police to bring the assassins and their allies to justice. The police, with their limited resources, and the lack of any witnesses, brutally brought in innocent Sikh men and women, and aggressively interrogated them with third degree methods. This created a wave of sympathy for the extremists, and more people started joining them to revolt against an oppressive regime. This story is of one such family, consisting of Veerandra (Tabu), her brother Jaswant Singh or Jassi (Raj Zutshi), and her mom. One day Inspector Vohra (Kanwaljeet) comes to their house with a police escort to find out the whereabouts of Jimmy or Jaimal (Jasjit Shergill). Jassi playfully introduces the police party to his pet dog Jimmy, and is taken away for questioning. He returns several days later, bleeding and badly wounded. Veerandra’s boyfriend Kripal Singh or Pali (Chandrachur Singh) vows to avenge Jassi’s beating and joins up with Commander (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) and Sanataan (Om Puri), both hardcore extremists.
