Suggesting a departure.
خلفية ثقافية
In Pakistan, leaving a host's house is a delicate social dance. You must use 'Aaiye chalte hain' at least three times before you are actually allowed to leave, as the host will insist you stay for more food. The 'Pehle Aap' (After you) culture of Lucknow heavily influences this phrase. It's not just about going; it's about inviting the other person to lead the way. In offices in Karachi or Gurgaon, this phrase is used to end meetings without sounding like you are dismissing people. It's a 'soft close'. After a 'Majlis' or 'Milad', people use this phrase to move toward the food area (Langar/Niaz) in a respectful, orderly fashion.
The Soft Exit
If you want to be extra polite, add 'Ab' (now) at the beginning: 'Ab آئیے چلتے ہیں۔' It makes the departure feel more natural.
Don't use with 'Tu'
Never use 'Aaiye' if you have been addressing someone as 'Tu' (very informal). It creates a clash in formality.

The Host's Resistance
Expect the host to say 'Abhi to آئے ہیں' (You just arrived). This is a compliment, not a command to stay. You can still leave!
