Every nursery rhyme on Qissa — all 66 of them — has a free, printable PDF lyric sheet you can download in seconds. Go to any rhyme page, click “Download Lyric Sheet”, and your browser opens a clean, A4-formatted page with the Hindi and Hinglish lyrics ready to print or save as a PDF. No sign-up, no payment, no app required.

If you have been searching for “hindi nursery rhymes pdf” or “hindi rhymes lyrics download”, this is exactly what you are looking for. The lyric sheets are designed for parents who want something physical to hold while singing — a printed page to stick on the fridge, pack into a school bag, or hand to a grandparent on a visit.

What PDF Lyric Sheets Does Qissa Offer?

Qissa provides two types of downloadable content:

1. Lyric Sheet PDFs — available for all 66 rhymes

Every rhyme page has a “Download Lyric Sheet” button. Clicking it opens a clean, print-optimised page containing:

  • The rhyme title and a short description
  • Hindi lyrics in Devanagari script (for Hindi and bilingual rhymes)
  • Hinglish lyrics — the same Hindi text written in English alphabet, so parents who cannot read Devanagari can still sing along accurately
  • English lyrics for English-language rhymes
  • Qissa’s branding and website URL at the bottom

The sheet is formatted for A4 paper and optimised to render clearly when printed from any modern browser on any device.

2. Coloring Activity Sheets — available for 3 animated rhymes

For three of the animated rhymes — Nani Teri Morni, Billi Chuhe Ki Kahani, and Nani Meri Chidiya — Qissa also offers a 2-page activity pack with a full-colour reference guide and a numbered coloring page for toddlers. These are separate from the lyric sheets and designed for hands-on creative play after watching the animated video.

How to Download Your Lyric Sheet PDF

The process takes under 30 seconds:

  1. Go to the Rhyme Library and find the rhyme you want, or go directly to any rhyme page (for example, Chanda Mama Door Ke).

  2. Scroll to the “Download Lyric Sheet” section — it appears near the bottom of every rhyme page, just above the related rhymes.

  3. Click “Download PDF” — this opens the lyric sheet in a new tab.

  4. Click “Print / Save as PDF” on the lyric sheet page, or use your browser’s File → Print menu.

  5. Choose “Save as PDF” as the printer destination in the print dialog (this option is available on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on all devices).

The file saves directly to your device. On mobile (Android or iPhone), the same print-to-PDF function is available through the share or print menu in your browser.

How to Use the Lyric Sheets at Home

Parents find printed lyric sheets useful in ways a phone screen simply cannot replicate:

Bedtime singing without a screen. Print Lalla Lalla Lori or Chanda Mama Door Ke and keep it on the bedside table. You can sing from the page in a dim room without needing to unlock your phone or worry about blue light.

LKG and UKG school practice. For rhymes being prepared for school recitation, a printed sheet lets a child hold the words while practising and gradually rely on the page less as memory builds. It is a much more natural practice tool than a phone or tablet for young children.

Grandparent visits. Print a few sheets before a grandparent visits and hand them over on arrival. Nani and Dadi can sing from the page with the grandchild without needing to navigate a website. This is especially useful for grandparents who are not comfortable with smartphones.

Classroom use. Teachers at Indian schools and Hindi-medium classes use Qissa lyric sheets as classroom handouts — one sheet per child, ready to mark up, colour, or take home.

Travel. A printed sheet survives a long flight far better than a phone battery. Pack a small folder of favourite rhymes for a trip to India, and the songs travel with you.

A Note on the Hinglish Lyrics

Every Hindi lyric sheet includes the Hinglish version — the same lyrics written phonetically in the English (Latin) alphabet. This matters because many parents, particularly those who grew up in English-medium schools or who live abroad, are more comfortable reading English script than Devanagari.

The Hinglish version on every sheet means you do not need to be able to read Hindi to use the lyric sheet accurately. You read the Hinglish line, your child hears authentic Hindi pronunciation, and the cultural transmission happens — correctly and confidently — regardless of your own script literacy.

For a deeper look at how Hinglish lyrics work and why they matter for diaspora families, see our guide: Hindi Rhymes in English — Hinglish Lyrics Explained.
