The song “Back to Sikhi” is from Arjan Dhillon’s album “Chobar” and portrays the narrative of a Sikh guy who regrets cutting his hair to blend into modern society. The song’s lyrics, as translated into English, emphasize his desire to reconnect with his religion and grow his hair to become a real Sikh again.
The ‘Chit Kare Kes Rakh Lavaan Fer Ton’ song is a powerful reminder of the importance of staying true to oneself and one’s beliefs. It encourages those who have lost their way to find their way back through self-reflection, spiritual awakening, and returning to one’s roots in Sikhism.

Ho Nikki Umre Hi Ainve Follow Karke Trend
At a young age, we blindly followed trends,
Aapdi Hi Hond Asi Kar Baithe End
We ended up becoming what we are.
Nikki Umre Hi Ainve Follow Karke Trend
We were young and mindlessly followed trends,
Aapdi Hi Hond Asi Kar Baithe End
which led to us being who we are now.
Haye Bepashaan Hoye Paye Aan Badi Der Ton
I have been lost for a long time.
Haye Der Ton, Haye Der Ton,
For a long time…

Haye Akhaan Vehan Jave Mera Sir Lifda
My head feels lifted…
Jadon Supne Ch Mainu Anandpur Disda
when I dream of Anandpur sahib.
Guru Wale Hona Pehlan Dastaraan Wale Howange
Before becoming Guru’s Sikhs, we would try to become turban-wearers.
Fer Kite Jaake Sarakran Wale Howange
Then we’d rule.

I aspire to return to the path of Sikhism.
Pagg Bann’ni Sikhawan Nikkeyan Bharawan Nu
I teach youngsters how to tie turbans.
Ghaint Koka Sira Att Hoye Fire Aan
Regardless of how well we are doing in life,
Sawa-Sawa Lakh Seege Kakh Hoye Firde Aan
We were exceptional, but we were worthless religiously.
Oh Sakhne Hoye Aan Maalak Di Mehar Ton
We do not have the blessings of Waheguru.
Haye Mehar Ton, Haye Mehar Ton,
The blessings… The blessings…

Let us head to the paths of ‘Dhaab’ and ‘Khidrane’.
Paaliye Badaave Satnam Bolke
Let us go ahead and chant Satnam.
Haye Putt Kahda Putt Jehda Peyo Jeya Lagge Na
A son is not a son who does not look like his father.
Arjan’a Sher Kade Gidhran Ch Sajje Na
O’ Arjan, a lion never looks well sitting among vultures.
Ho Jinu Mileya Sidak Janma De Gerh Cho,
A Sikh is someone who breaks away from the cycle of births.
Haye Gerh Cho, Haye Gerh Cho,
breaks away from the cycle of births.
Haye Chit Kare Kes Rakh Lavaan Fer Ton
I want to grow my hair back so that I may become a true Sikh again.
Chit Kare Kes Rakh Lavaan Fer Ton
I want to grow my hair back so that I may become a true Sikh again.
