ha ha ye sali bhi phenko
ye bhi phanko vo bhi phenko
ye bhi phenko vo bhi phenko sab kuch phenko

The finest thing in this world, they say, is coin,
The finest thing in this world, is coin.
Mr. Coin, oh Mr. Coin,
None like you in this world we find,
Oh Mr. Coin, oh Mr. Coin,
The finest thing in this world, is coin.

We searched for you, a detective's guise,
Through every lane, beneath all skies,
But fate, at last, your face did show,
Thank you, thank you, such mercy to bestow,
Oh Mr. Coin, oh Mr. Coin,
The finest thing in this world, is coin.

With you beside, the washerman bows low,
The merchant smiles, no threats to know,
Half the price, and double the trade,
The world trembles, your power displayed,
Oh Mr. Coin, oh Mr. Coin,
The finest thing in this world, is coin.

Toss those worn sandals, cast off the frayed,
For fortune’s shift, a new life made,
Prepare for change, then let it be so,
Cash Narayan*, in your home, will flow,
Oh Mr. Coin, oh Mr. Coin,
The finest thing in this world, is coin.

One, two, three, this bottomless vessel, throw,
These rotting braids, let them go,
That rusty pot, discard it too,
Yes, throw it! All things new,
Throw this, throw that, let all things cease,
Let go of all, for inner peace.

* *Cash Narayan: An honorific for money, often seen as a form of the deity Vishnu.
