chup ho ja chup ho ja
chup ho ja amiro ke ye sone ki ghadi hai
chup ho ja amiro ke ye sone ki ghadi hai
tere liye rone ko bahut umar padi hai
tere liye rone ko bahut umar padi hai
chup ho ja chup ho ja

rona garibo ke liye kaumi tarana
rona garibo ke liye kaumi tarana
mat ro ki meri jan yah hai raag purana
abb gul naa macha dekh woh police khadi hai
chup ho ja chup ho ja
chup ho ja amiro ke ye sone ki ghadi hai
tere liye rone ko bahut umar padi hai

amma teri jannat me hai aur jel me abba
chacha toh tere pehle se hi gol hai dabba
dekh rahi hai naa
kismat teri me likha hai chun-chun kaa murabba
kya kub najar rahu-ketu ki padi hai
chup ho ja chup ho ja
chup ho ja amiro ke ye sone ki ghadi hai
tere liye rone ko bahut umar padi hai

jab dudh nahi kam anguthe se chala le
jab dudh nahi kam anguthe se chala le
khud apna lahu chus ke bhukh mita le ho
tu bhukh mita le
kehte hain jise sabrr are chiz badi hai
chup ho ja chup ho ja
chup ho ja amiro ke ye sone ki ghadi hai
tere liye rone ko bahut umar padi hai

mange se to koyi tera adhikar naa dega
dushman ko koyi kushi se talvar naa dega
lena hai jo duniya se use chhin ke le le
narmi se toh kaudi bhi yah sansar naa dega
himmat se utha le yaha jo chiz padi hai
yah tota yah pistol kagaz ki ghadi hai
yah jamuna ke tat shyaam sang
radha khadi hai dekho
yah jamuna ke tat shyaam sang
radha khadi hai dekho
sach yah hai ki takdir se tadbir badi hai
chup ho ja chup ho ja
chup ho ja amiro ke ye sone ki ghadi hai
tere liye rone ko bahut umar padi hai
chup ho ja chup ho ja

Hush now, hush now.
This is the rich man's golden hour.
Hush now, hush now.
A lifetime stretches, heavy with the weeping,
A lifetime stretches, heavy with the weeping.
Hush now, hush now.

Weeping is the anthem of the poor,
Weeping is the anthem of the poor.
Do not weep, my soul, it is an old, tired tune.
Do not make a fuss, see the police are standing.
Hush now, hush now.
This is the rich man's golden hour.
A lifetime stretches, heavy with the weeping.

Your mother dwells in paradise, your father in jail.
Your uncle, before you, a hollow shell.
Look, she is watching,
Your destiny, a stew of bitter fate.
How cruelly the shadow of Rahu and Ketu falls.
Hush now, hush now.
This is the rich man's golden hour.
A lifetime stretches, heavy with the weeping.

When milk is not, suckle your thumb.
When milk is not, suckle your thumb.
Suck your own blood to quell the hunger,
Suck your own blood to quell the hunger.
They say patience is a mighty thing.
Hush now, hush now.
This is the rich man's golden hour.
A lifetime stretches, heavy with the weeping.

No one will freely give you what is yours.
No enemy will offer their sword with joy.
Take what you desire from this world by force,
Softness will not earn you a single coin.
Seize what lies here with courage.
This parrot, this pistol, a paper game.
Upon the banks of the Yamuna, Radha stands with Shyam, behold,
Upon the banks of the Yamuna, Radha stands with Shyam, behold.
The truth is: effort triumphs over fate.
Hush now, hush now.
This is the rich man's golden hour.
A lifetime stretches, heavy with the weeping.
Hush now, hush now.
