taane lage kasne ek din deewane
samay dopahar tha pahuch gayi main thaane

jo puchhane wo laga mujhse batiya
jo puchhane wo laga mujhse batiya
maare sharam ke mar gayi

uska danda jo uska danda jo
uska danda jo dekhi to main dar gayi
uska danda jo dekhi to main dar gayi

uska danda jo dekhi to main dar gayi
uska danda jo dekhi to main dar gayi

sipahiya ne pehle bagal mein bithaya
phir kaagaj pe apni kalamiya chalaya
sipahiya ne pehle bagal mein bithaya

bar bar danda dikhane laga

sipahiya ka danda khada dekh kar

uska danda jo dekhito main dar gayi

aayi thi karne mukadma sakhi re

uska danda jo dekhi to main dar gayi

The constable, the constable, the constable,
He unleashed such cruelty, the constable.
The constable, the constable, the constable,
He unleashed such cruelty, the constable.

The taunts of the crazed, they began to sting,
One day, at noon, to the station I did swing.
The taunts of the crazed, they began to sting,
One day, at noon, to the station I did swing.
To file a report, the inspector nowhere to be seen,
The constable met me, the station's cruel keen.
He began to question, his words like a dart,
He began to question, piercing my heart.
Shame’s poison, a death I met.

His staff, his staff, his staff,
The sight of his staff, a fear I did quaff.
His staff, his staff, his staff,
The sight of his staff, a fear I did quaff.
The tyrant kept me, the whole night through,
Alas, the tyrant kept me, what could I do?
The second day, homeward, I did flee,
His staff, his staff, his staff,
The sight of his staff, a fear I did quaff.
His staff, his staff, his staff,
The sight of his staff, a fear I did quaff.

The constable, first, beside him did seat,
Then, his pen on the paper, a venomous feat.
The constable, first, beside him did seat,
Then, his pen on the paper, a venomous feat.
I had something to say, but something else I did say,
Trapped in the station, I stayed the whole day.
What could I do, as he started to threaten,
Again and again, his staff he did beckon.
Again and again, his staff he did beckon.
The constable's staff, erected and bold,
The constable's staff, a story untold,
What I had to do, a different path did I tread,
His staff, his staff, his staff,
The sight of his staff, a fear I did quaff.
His staff, his staff, his staff,
The sight of his staff, a fear I did quaff.
The constable, the constable, the constable,
He unleashed such cruelty, the constable.

Alas, at the staff, sweat began to pour,
December's cold breath, I still do deplore.
At the staff, sweat began to pour,
December's cold breath, I still do deplore.
Alone I went, a mistake of my own,
The constable cunning, his true colors shown.
What came I for, and what did I find,
Thumbprint on the paper, leaving me behind.
Thumbprint on the paper, leaving me behind.
To file a complaint, my friend, I did roam,
To file a complaint, my friend, I did roam,
Instead, a case, I was forced to condone.
His staff, his staff, his staff,
The sight of his staff, a fear I did quaff.
His staff, his staff, his staff,
The sight of his staff, a fear I did quaff.
The constable, the constable, the constable,
He unleashed such cruelty, the constable.
The constable, the constable, the constable,
He unleashed such cruelty, the constable.
