Hark, ye hear, listen closely, good people,
blind are the masses, and blind is the king.
A pittance for greens, a pittance for feasts,
a pittance for the people, a pittance for the leaders.
We are perished, alas, this era, damn it all,
this era, damn it all.

Oh, blind are the masses, and blind is the king,
a pittance for greens, a pittance for feasts,
a pittance for the people, a pittance for the leaders.
We are perished, alas, this era, damn it all,
this era, damn it all.

The nation devoured by the politics, the fields consumed by drought,
oh, the fields consumed by drought.
The nation devoured by the politics, the fields consumed by drought,
the fields consumed by drought.
Religion consumed by the priests and the mullahs,
Good deeds become chaff, good deeds become chaff.
Oh, crows feast, alas, brothers,
crows feast on milk and cream, while the swan dies of hunger.
This era, damn it all, this era, damn it all.

On the banks of Ram Rajya, now only flags remain,
oh, only flags remain.
On the banks of Ram Rajya, now only flags remain,
only flags remain.
Oh, even the flags are used, brothers,
to carry sticks on the streets, to carry sticks on the streets.
Who cares for the nation, what's the matter,
who cares for the nation, all are the priests of the chair,
yes, all are the priests of the chair.
This era, damn it all, this era, damn it all,
this era, damn it all.

Truth wanders lost, from door to door,
becoming a beggar here, becoming a beggar here.
Truth wanders lost, from door to door,
becoming a beggar here, becoming a beggar here.
Oh, deceitful treachery rules from within palaces,
Oh, the more doctors that have increased,
the more disease has spread in the nation,
alas, alas, the more disease has spread.
This era, damn it all, this era, damn it all.

Oh, blind are the masses, and blind is the king,
a pittance for greens, a pittance for feasts,
a pittance for the people, a pittance for the leaders.
We are perished, alas, this era, damn it all,
this era, damn it all.
