jaan bachi jaan bachi so lakho paye
lotke budhu ghar ko aaye
jaan bachi so lakho paye

bhali huyi jo sach se chhute nahi to aye maharaj
bhali huyi jo sach se chhute nahi to aye maharaj
hum rote aur ghuman ghuman jel ki chakki aaj
hum rote aur ghuman ghuman jel ki chakki aaj
aisi khatir bhahad me jaye
jaan bachi so lakho paye
jaan bachi jaan bachi so lakho paye
lotke budhu ghar ko aaye
jaan bachi so lakho paye

shan se pitate jute khakar wahi jo rahte aaj
shan se pitate jute khakar wahi jo rahte aaj
aakhir ulfat rang hi lati beda hota par
aakhir ulfat rang hi lati beda hota par
murakh hai jo ab pachhtaye
jaan bachi so lakho paye
jaan bachi jaan bachi so lakho paye
lotke budhu ghar ko aaye
jaan bachi so lakho paye

banke aashiq jeb hai khali roti ko mohtaj
banke aashiq jeb hai khali roti ko mohtaj
wahi masal hai gangba teli pap na dekhe raz
wahi masal hai gangba teli pap na dekhe raz
aankh khuli to jute khaye
jaan bachi so lakho paye

Life is spared, a fortune earned, untold.
The foolish, returning home, their story told.
Life is spared, a fortune earned, of gold.

Blessed escape from truth's relentless hold,
Else the King's wrath, a story to unfold.
We would weep, a prison's crushing fold.
To hell with comfort, a fate to be sold.
Life is spared, a fortune earned, of old.
Life is spared, a fortune earned, untold.
The foolish, returning home, their story told.
Life is spared, a fortune earned, of gold.

Proudly, they bear the blows, the boots' cold stare,
Those who survive, breathing the tainted air.
Love's embrace reveals, a passage to repair.
The foolish now, their sorrow they bear.
Life is spared, a fortune earned, to share.
Life is spared, a fortune earned, untold.
The foolish, returning home, their story told.
Life is spared, a fortune earned, of gold.

Lovers, their pockets bare, by hunger chased,
They echo the phrase, the tale untraced.
The eye is open, the lesson embraced.
Life is spared, a fortune earned, embraced.
Life is spared, a fortune earned, untold.
The foolish, returning home, their story told.
Life is spared, a fortune earned, of gold.
