hum kisko sunaye haal, ye dunia paise ki
ye dunia paise ki
nahi pas hamare mal, ye dunia paise ki
ye dunia paise ki

kal hamare pas bhi bangla thi motar car thi
aaj hai sarnarthi hum, aaj hai sarnarthi
tu sun na koi hal, ye dunia paise ki
ye dunia paise ki
hum kisko sunaye hal, ye dunia paise ki
ye dunia paise ki

kuch to dunia ke malik, kar garibo ka khyal
bhej halwa bhej puri, bhej roti bhej dal
sab sab gaye kangal, ye dunia paise ki
ye dunia paise ki, ye dunia paise ki
hum kisko sunaye haal, ye dunia paise ki
ye dunia paise ki
bhej halwa bhej puri, bhej roti bhej dal
bhej halwa bhej puri, bhej roti bhej dal

To whom can I pour out my plight, this world of coin's sway,
This world of coin's sway?
No wealth do we hold, bereft of the way, this world of coin's sway,
This world of coin's sway.

Yesterday, mansions and cars graced our sight,
Today, we are refugees, shadows in the light.
None ask of our plight, this world of coin's sway,
This world of coin's sway.
To whom can I pour out my plight, this world of coin's sway,
This world of coin's sway.

Oh, Lord of this world, have mercy, we pray,
For the poor, a moment of grace, come what may.
Send forth sweet halwa, warm bread, the full spread,
Send forth chapati, and lentils, to the souls you have fed.
How long will the impoverished sing their dismay, this world of coin's sway,
This world of coin's sway, this world of coin's sway?
To whom can I pour out my plight, this world of coin's sway,
This world of coin's sway.
Send forth sweet halwa, warm bread, the full spread,
Send forth sweet halwa, warm bread, the full spread.
