arraa ram tarraa ram arraa ram tarraa ram
duniya ke kaise kaise gam kahi jyada kahi kam
kahi jyada kahi kam kahi jyada kahi kam

koi kahe mera piya ghar aaye na
kisi ka nikathu miya paisa laye na
lale ko ye dar paisa koi khaye na
are budhe ko fikar budhi bhaag jaye na
zakhmi jigar hai dar hai fikar hai
sab gadbad hai nikle hai dam
khote aallaa ki kasam vayi vayi vayi vayi
zakhmi jigar hai dar hai fikar hai
sab gadbad hai nikle hai dam
kkhote aallaa ki kasam kahi jyada kahi kam
kahi jyada kahi kam
arraa ram tarraa ram arraa ram tarraa ram
duniya ke kaise kaise gam kahi jyada kahi kam

majnu ne kholi bhaiya pyaar ki dukaan
laila maange majnu se dil ka lagaan
koi roye dukh se lagaye koi taan
ek mr shamshaan jaaye duja kabristaan
koi butler hai koi afsar hain
sab gadbad hai nikle hai dam
kkhote aallaa ki kasam vayi vayi vayi vayi
koi butler hai koi afsar hain
sab gadbad hai nikle hai dam
kkhote aallaa ki kasam kahi jyada kahi kam
kahi jyada kahi kam
arraa ram tarraa ram arraa ram tarraa ram
duniya ke kaise kaise gam kahi jyada kahi kam

duniya ki aisi taisi duniya hai kya
khel ghadi bhar ka hai toot jayega
tera mera dukh nahi pyaar ke siva
aankh jaha band hui ta ta ta
jeena pal bhar hai fir mar mar hai
sab gadbad hai nikle hai dam
khote aallaa ki kasam vayi vayi vayi vayi
jeena pal bhar hai fir mar mar hai
sab gadbad hai nikle hai dam
khote aallaa ki kasam kahi jyada kahi kam
kahi jyada kahi kam
arraa ram tarraa ram arraa ram tarraa ram
duniya ke kaise kaise gam kahi jyada kahi kam
arraa ram tarraa ram duniya ke kaise kaise gam
kahi jyada kahi kam kahi jyada kahi kam
kahi jyada or kahi

Aah, the rhythm, the sway, a world of woes,
Some bear more, some less, as the river flows.
More or less, more or less, the weight we know.

One cries, "My love, he never comes home to me,"
Another, "My man, he brings no money free."
The miser fears his hoard, it disappears,
The old man fears his love, escaping fears.
Wounded hearts, fear's grip, a world in pain,
All's a mess, life's breath begins to wane.
By the grace, I swear, oh, woe, woe, woe, woe!
Wounded hearts, fear's grip, a world in pain,
All's a mess, life's breath begins to wane.
By the grace, I swear, some bear more, some less,
More or less, more or less, the world's distress.
Aah, the rhythm, the sway, a world of woes,
Some bear more, some less, as the river flows.

Majnu opened his shop, love was the trade,
Laila demands his heart, a price is paid.
Some weep in sorrow, a mournful serenade,
One goes to the pyre, the other in shade.
Some butlers serve, some hold the high command,
All's a mess, life's breath begins to wane.
By the grace, I swear, oh, woe, woe, woe, woe!
Some butlers serve, some hold the high command,
All's a mess, life's breath begins to wane.
By the grace, I swear, some bear more, some less,
More or less, more or less, the world's distress.
Aah, the rhythm, the sway, a world of woes,
Some bear more, some less, as the river flows.

To hell with this world, what is its true guise?
A fleeting game, soon it will demise.
Beyond our woes, our love, where truth lies,
When eyes close, a final goodbye.
To live is but a breath, then to decay,
All's a mess, life's breath begins to wane.
By the grace, I swear, oh, woe, woe, woe, woe!
To live is but a breath, then to decay,
All's a mess, life's breath begins to wane.
By the grace, I swear, some bear more, some less,
More or less, more or less, the world's distress.
Aah, the rhythm, the sway, a world of woes,
Some bear more, some less, as the river flows.
Aah, the rhythm, the sway, a world of woes,
Some bear more, some less, more or less,
More or less, more or less.
