Lyrics

चिट्ठी भित्र राखेर पठाउदै छु
मेरो माया म तिमीलाई
खोली पढि देउन है

आटे जती भरेर पानाहरु
मायाका कुरा लेखेर
मनले जानेको सबै
अक्षर अक्षर जोडेर
भावनाहरु सबै पोखेर
तिमीलाई नै सुम्पिदिए यो मन

तिम्रो अस्तित्वले नै मेरो अस्तित्वलाई अर्थ दिन्छ
हासोले खुशी चिने झैँ मेरो मुटुले तिमीलाई चिन्छ

हामी दुई एकअर्का कै सहारले
बाचौल हाम्रो जिन्दगी
एउटै नाम बोकेर
बुढेसकालमा हासोले चौरिएका
हाम्रा अनुहारका रेखाले
हाम्रै कभ्य कोरेर
मेरो स्वर, मेरो संगित
तिम्रै नाम गरेर
म तिम्रै निम्ती जिए जीवन

तिम्रो अस्तित्वले नै मेरो अस्तित्वलाई अर्थ दिन्छ
हासोले खुशी चिने झैँ मेरो मुटुले तिमीलाई चिन्छ

भएजती मेरो माया
अली अली गर्दा गर्दै
तिम्रै हत्केलामा मैले
ल्याइ रखिदिए सबै
तिम्रै हासोको द्रिश्यले
मेरो खुशीलाई रुप दिन्छ

तिम्रो अस्तित्वले नै मेरो अस्तित्वलाई अर्थ दिन्छ

Chitthi Bhitra Lyrics in English (Romanized)

Chitthi bhitra raakhera pathaaudai chu
Mero maayaa ma timilaai
Kholi padhi deu na hai

Aate jati bharera paanaaharu
Maayaakaa kuraa lekhera
Manle jaaneko sabai
Akshar akshar jodera
Bhaawanaaharu sabai pokhera
Timilaai nai sumpidiye yo man

Timro astitwale nai mero astitwalaai artha dincha
Haasole khushi chine jhai mero mutule timilaai chincha

Haami dui ek-arkaa kai sahaarale
Baachaula haamro jindagi
Eutai naam bokera
Budhesakaalmaa haasole chauriyekaa
Haamraa anuhaarkaa rekhaale
Haamrai kaabya korera
Mero swar, mero sangit
Timrai naam garera
Ma timrai nimti jiye jeevan

Timro astitwale nai mero astitwalaai artha dincha
Haasole khushi chine jhai mero mutule timilaai chincha

Bhaejati mero maayaa
Ali ali gardaa gardai
Timrai hatkelaamaa maile
Lyaai rakhidiye sabai
Timrai haasoko drishyale
Mero khushilaai roop dincha

Timro astitwale nai mero astitwalaai artha dincha

Chitthi Bhitra Lyrics — English Translation & Meaning

I am sending it tucked inside a letter,
my love, to you
Open it and read it, won't you

Filling as many pages as I could manage
Writing down the things love says
Everything my heart knew
Joining letter to letter
Pouring out every feeling
I handed this heart over to you

Your existence is what gives my existence meaning
The way laughter recognises joy, my heart recognises you

The two of us, leaning on one another,
may we live out our life
carrying a single name
In old age, with the lines of our faces
spread wide from laughing,
writing our own poem
My voice, my music,
made in your name —
I have lived this life for you

Your existence is what gives my existence meaning
The way laughter recognises joy, my heart recognises you

All the love there was,
a little at a time,
I brought and laid it all down
in the palm of your hand
The sight of you laughing
is what gives my happiness its shape

Your existence is what gives my existence meaning

About "Chitthi Bhitra" by Sajjan Raj Vaidya

"Chitthi Bhitra" means "inside a letter", and the whole song is framed as a handwritten letter being sent rather than a confession made face to face. That framing is the point: the narrator is a person who can write what he cannot say, and the song is the letter's contents.

The central line — "Timro astitwale nai mero astitwalaai artha dincha", your existence is what gives my existence meaning — is unusually philosophical for a Nepali love song. It is not a claim about desire or longing but about meaning itself, and the simile that follows grounds it beautifully: the way laughter recognises joy, my heart recognises you. Recognition, not conquest, is what this song is about.

What sets it apart from most love songs is where it looks. Instead of imagining a wedding or a first kiss, the narrator jumps straight to old age: two faces with laugh lines spread wide, a shared surname, a life already spent. He is not asking for a beginning; he is describing an ending he wants, and working backwards. The phrase "haamrai kaabya korera" — writing our own poem — treats a long ordinary marriage as a work of literature.

The final verse returns the letter's logic to the body. Everything he felt, gathered little by little, has been placed in the palm of her hand, which is exactly where a letter ends up. And the last thing he names as the source of his happiness is not being loved back, but simply the sight of her laughing.
