is dil ka bangla khaali hai
is dil ka bangla khaali hai
aur iska kiraya koi nahi
chaudah baras se babuji
is bangle me aaya koi nahi
hay bangle me aaya koi nahi
is dil ka bangla khaali hai

ae gori is bangle ke
hum datte hain saudai
lekin bebas hai sajni
aaj kal hai mahngaai
pagdi dena mushkil hai
pagdi dena mushkil hai
ho iska kiraya koi nahi
chaudah baras se babuji
is bangle me aaya koi nahi
hay bangle me aaya koi nahi
is dil ka bangla khaali hai

pagdi se hi izzat hai babu
topi englishtaan gaye
pagdi ke saude me ab topi ki
sari shan gayi
pagdi walo ke bangle par
pagdi walo ke bangle par
ab tak chaya koi nahi
chaudah baras se babuji
is bangle me aaya koi nahi
hay bangle me aaya koi nahi
is dil ka bangla khaali hai

aise bangle se gori
apni kholi acchi hai
dhanwaano ke jhurmut se ye
apni toli achi hai
paiso ka bhagwan hai paisa
paiso ka bhagwan hai paisa
apna paraya koi nahi
chaudah baras se babuji
is bangle me aaya koi nahi
hay bangle me aaya koi nahi
is dil ka bangla khaali hai

apni kholi hume bula le
babu bangla chodungi
dhanwaano se preet tod kar
dilwaalo se jodungi
aao hum tum mil jaye
aao hum tum mil jaye
bas baat bakaya koi nahi
chaudah baras se babuji
is bangle me aaya koi nahi
hay bangle me aaya koi nahi

This heart's mansion, a vacant space,
This heart's mansion, a barren place,
And no one comes to pay the fee.
Fourteen years have passed, my friend,
Within this mansion, no guest did see.
Alas, within it, no guest did see.
This heart's mansion, a vacant space.

Oh, fair maiden, for this home,
I rage, a desperate soul,
Yet helpless am, my love,
Now, the times, they take their toll.
To offer shelter, hard it is,
To offer shelter, hard it is,
For no one comes to pay the fee.
Fourteen years have passed, my friend,
Within this mansion, no guest did see.
Alas, within it, no guest did see.
This heart's mansion, a vacant space.

With shelter, comes the honor, friend,
The hats, to England they did flee,
In this transaction of shelter,
All the glory of the hat did die.
Upon those who shelter others,
Upon those who shelter others,
No one has come to cast a gleam.
Fourteen years have passed, my friend,
Within this mansion, no guest did see.
Alas, within it, no guest did see.
This heart's mansion, a vacant space.

Than this mansion, oh maiden,
Our humble shack, so sweet,
From wealthy crowds,
Our circle is a treat.
Money, a god, is money,
Money, a god, is money,
No kin, no friend, for you and me.
Fourteen years have passed, my friend,
Within this mansion, no guest did see.
Alas, within it, no guest did see.
This heart's mansion, a vacant space.

Let your shack call to me,
This mansion, I'll forsake,
From the wealthy, I'll break away,
With those of heart, my soul will make.
Come, let us unite,
Come, let us unite,
No longer owing any fee.
Fourteen years have passed, my friend,
Within this mansion, no guest did see.
Alas, within it, no guest did see.
