daru ki botal me saheb pani bharata hai
phir na kahna michal daru pi kar danga karta hai

shi shish e kaisa karta aisa kahe ko hota
shi shish e kaisa karta aisa kahe ko hota
dekh le jis din michal ko raat ko seth nahi sota
khud chori karta hai lekin chor se darta hai
phir na kahna michal daru pi kar danga karta hai

jangal me hai mor bade shahar me hai chor bade
jangal me hai mor bade shahar me hai chor bade
apne bhi ustad yaha pade hue aur bade
michal to logo ki bas khali jeb katarata hai
phir na kahna michal daru pi kar danga karta hai

saal-mahine ke liye khane-pine ke liye
saal-mahine ke liye khane-pine ke liye
kitana paisa chahiye aakhir jine ke liye
log diwana hai jo is paise pe marta hai
phir na kahna michal daru pi kar danga karta hai
daru ki botal me saheb pani bharata hai
phir na kahna michal daru pi kar danga karta hai

The master dilutes the wine with water,
Then don't say Michael incites a riot, drunk on fire.

What is this dance, why does it unfold?
What is this dance, why does it unfold?
Behold, when Michael is seen, the merchant cannot hold
His sleep that night, though he steals himself, he fears the thief's cold.
He steals himself, yet cowers from the robber's hold.
Then don't say Michael incites a riot, drunk on fire.

The jungle boasts great peacocks, the city, great thieves,
The jungle boasts great peacocks, the city, great thieves,
And here, our own masters lie, and others, of bigger leaves.
Michael merely picks the pockets, a thief of little worth,
Michael merely picks the pockets, a thief of little worth.
Then don't say Michael incites a riot, drunk on fire.

For years, for months, for the need to eat and drink,
For years, for months, for the need to eat and drink,
How much wealth is needed, to merely breathe and think?
Mad are the masses, who for this money, sink!
Then don't say Michael incites a riot, drunk on fire.
The master dilutes the wine with water,
Then don't say Michael incites a riot, drunk on fire.
