khel khiladi khele ja khel khiladi khele ja
mauj kare dil wala dushman ka muh kala
mauj kare dil wala dushman ka muh kala
sath hai tere kismat pyare himmat ko na har
khiladi khele ja khiladi khele ja

duniya ek jua khana hai isme hai sab juari
isme hai sab juari
apna apna daw lagaye khele duniya sari
khele duniya sari raja khele raj se
raja khele raj se palsa ke dimag se
palsa ke damag se aashik dil ki dag se
muflis khele patto se hai jeet usi ko pyari
khiladi khele ja khiladi khele ja

dhokha dekar chale chalkar duniya daulat paye
duniya daulat paye
mehnat karke kaun kamaye muft me jab mil jaye
muft me jab mil jaye dil me sab ke chor hai
dil me sab ke chor hai beimani ka jor hai
barbadi ka shor ho ho jeb ho sab ki khali babu
faili hai bekari bekari barbadi ka shor hai

Play, player, play your game, play!
Let the heart revel, blacken the foe's face.
Let the heart revel, blacken the foe's face.
Luck's with you, dear one, don't lose your heart,
Play, player, play your game, play!

The world's a gambling den, all are gamesters,
All are gamesters.
Each stakes their claim, the whole world plays,
The whole world plays. The king plays kingdom's game,
The king plays kingdom's game, with a mind so astute,
With a mind so astute, the lover with heart's wound,
The pauper plays with cards, victory is their sweet prize.
Player, play your game, play your game!

Deceit and trickery, the world gains wealth,
The world gains wealth.
Who toils for their bread, when fortunes are free?
When fortunes are free? A thief in every heart,
A thief in every heart, the deceitful ones thrive,
Destruction's clamor, every pocket bare, friend,
Unemployment spreads, destruction's clamor rings.
