daulat ki lalch ne aakhir ye kaisa vakat dikhaya hai
bhai bahn ki shadi me lo bhesh badal kar aaya hai
yu nam chin banne se to achha hai daulat na hoti
ye aana bhi kya aana hai kahne ko farj nibhaya hai
daulat hai kya ho ho
daulat hai kya ek bahan ki chaht ke samne

insan kitna gir gaya daulat ke samne
apne ko bhul baitha hai sauhrat ke samne
daulat use mil bhi gayi to kya gajab hua
vo kitna kanyab hai kudrat ke samne
insan kitna gir gaya daulat ke samne
apne ko bhul baitha hai sauhrat ke samne

The lure of lucre, a venomous seed,
Brought forth a time of twisted deed.
Brother and sister, a wedding's guise,
In masks of greed, before our eyes.

Better to be unknown, unseen,
Than wealth that stains what might have been.
This "arrival," a hollow shell,
A duty claimed, a story to tell.
What is wealth, oh, what is it, then?
Against a sister's love, it cannot win.
How low has man descended, bowed,
Before the gold that screams aloud?

Lost to himself, fame's dazzling gleam,
Even if riches fill his dream.
What triumph, then, a hollow prize,
Against the might of the skies?
How low has man descended, bowed,
Before the gold that screams aloud?
Lost to himself, fame's dazzling gleam.
