Maachis – Chappa Chappa Charkha Chale Song Lyrics

Maachis is a 1996 film written and directed by Gulzar. The title is hinted at the youth who when provoked are as dangerous as matchsticks. The provocation could be the difference meted on them because of a political and judicial system. The plot is set in 1980s when there was Sikh insurgency in Punjab, and its consequences on young and honest people. Jimmy Shergil, Chandrachur Singh, Tabu, and Om Puri are the leads in the film.

Lyrics

Chappa chappa charkha chale, chappa chappa charkha chale
Hey chappa chappa charkha chale, chappa chappa charkha chale
Auni bauni aariyan teree, bauni bauni beriyon tale
Chappa chappa charkha chale, hoy chappa chappa charkha chale
Hey auni bauni aariyan teree, bauni bauni beriyon tale

Yara be, yara be, yara be, aaauniya pardesiya
Chappa chappa charkha chale, hoy chappa chappa charkha chale

Jumme ke jumme jo surme lagatee thee) – (2)
Kachchee munde ke tale, chappa chappa charkha chale

Lohe ke chimte se lipte ko mara tha) – (2)
Oye biba teraa chulha jale
