The Hindi song “Chor” tells the story of a singer who meets a thief. The thief demands that the singer give him everything he has. The song, which Justh sang and Chaitanya Pandit composed, has a message about materialism and how things don’t last forever. You can also find the translation of the lyrics on this page.
Justh’s ‘Kal Raat Mere Ghar Aaya Ek Chor’ lyrics describe the singer’s response to a thief’s demand. Rather than giving material possessions, the singer offers intangible aspects of life. This symbolizes a detachment from material attachments and embracing freedom from worldly possessions. The repetition of the thief’s visit symbolizes the recurring nature of worldly desires.
CHOR SONG LYRICS ENGLISH MEANING
Kal Rat Aya Mere Ghar Ek Chor,
Aake Bola Dede Mujhe Jo Bhi Tera Hai
Maine Bola, Mera Nam Bhi Le Ja Mera Kam Bhi Le Ja,
Mera Ram Bhi Le Ja Mera Shyam Bhi Le Ja,
A thief came to my house last night,
and demanded that I give him everything that belonged to me.
I responded by telling him to take my name, my work,
my ‘Ram’, and my ‘Shyam’ too.
Kal Rat Aya Mere Ghar Ek Chor,
Aake Bola Dede Mujhe Jo Bhi Tera Hai
Maine Bola Meri Jeet Bhi Le Ja Meri Har Bhi Le Ja,
The previous night, a burglar entered my residence
and demanded, "Give me whatever belongs to you."
I responded, Take away my victories, take away my defeats.
Mera Dar Bhi Le Ja Mera Ghar Bhi Le Ja,
Mere Khwab Bhi Le Ja Mere Raz Bhi Le Ja,
Mera Gham Bhi Le Ja Har Zakham Bhi Le Ja,
Take away my apprehensions, take away my dwelling.
Take away my aspirations, take away my confidence.
Take away my griefs, every injury, too.
Meri Zat Bhi Le Ja Auqat Bhi Le Ja,
Meri Bat Bhi Le Ja Halat Bhi Le Ja,
Le Ja Mera Jo Bhi Dikhe, Jo Na Dikhe Woh Bhi Le Ja,
Take away my social class; take away my position as well.
Take away my expressions; take away my circumstances too.
Take away everything that is visible of mine. Take away everything that is not visible as well.
Kal Rat Aya Mere Ghar Ek Chor,
Aake Bola Dede Mujhe Jo Bhi Tera Hai
Maine Bola, Mera Nam Bhi Le Ja Mera Kam Bhi Le Ja,
Mera Ram Bhi Le Ja Mera Shyam Bhi Le Ja,
Last night, a burglar visited my home.
He demanded, "Hand over everything that belongs to you."
I responded by telling him to take my name,
my work, my ‘Ram’, and my ‘Shyam’ too.
Meri Jeet Bhi Le Ja Meri Har Bhi Le Ja,
Mera Dar Bhi Le Ja Mera Ghar Bhi Le Ja,
Meri Zat Bhi Le Ja Auqat Bhi Le Ja,
Take away my victories, take away my defeats.
Take away my apprehensions, take away my dwelling.
Take away my social class; take away my position as well.
Meri Bat Bhi Le Ja Halat Bhi Le Ja,
Mera Nam Bhi Le Ja Mera Kam Bhi Le Ja,
Mera Ram Bhi Le Ja Mera Shyam Bhi Le Ja,
Take away my expressions; take away my circumstances too.
I responded by telling him to take my name, my work,
my ‘Ram’, and my ‘Shyam’ too.
Kar De Mujhe Azad, Kar De Mujhe Azad, Aazad Azad,
Kal Rat Aya Mere Ghar Ek Chor,
Release me from all of this.
Last night, a robber entered my home.
