han suno suno, apne kano mein tel dalkar suno
ki banda apne pyaron ko adab baja lata hai
apni amma aur apni joru ki sar pe hath rakhke
apni kasam dohrata hai, kya, ye
khun pasine ki jo milegi to khayenge
khun pasine ki jo milegi to khayenge
nahi to yaro hum bhuke hi so jayenge
daulat haram ki na na, hai ye kis kam ki ha ha
daulat haram ki, hai ye kis kam ki
kha lo kasam ise hath na lagayenge
hath na lagayenge hath na lagayenge
are khun pasine ki jo milegi to khayenge
nahi to yaro hum bhuke hi so jayenge

hey seth karodimal ki bibi ek rat ye boli
nind nahi kyun aati tumko bina nind ki goli
tumko bina nind ki goli tumko bina nind ki goli
kahe kya seth karodi, kamake kaudi kaudi
haram ki daulat jodi, magar lagti thi thodi
magar lagti thi thodi magar lagti thi thodi
khul gayi chor bajari, are lut gayi daulat sari
seth bhi andar maal bhi andar, dono na bach payenge
jaise seth mara hai waise sare mare jayenge
sare mare jayenge sare mare jayenge
are isi liye to kehata hoon pyaron
khun pasine ki jo milegi to khayenge
nahi to yaro hum bhuke hi so jayenge

hey auron ka hak lut ke khata tha ek gunda nami
hukum chalata tha sab par woh sab karate the gulami
sab karate the gulami sab karate the gulami
chadha rehata tha para, shehar darata tha sara
magar mara mari ne use kis mod pe mara
use kis mod pe mara use kis mod pe mara
huwa jo misa jari akad woh tuti sari
to jalim andar josh bhi andar, hosh thikane aa jayenge
jaise mara gaya woh jalim sare mare jayenge
sare mare jayenge sare mare jayenge
are isi liye to kehata hoon pyaron
are khun pasine ki jo milegi to khayenge
nahi to yaro hum bhuke hi so jayenge

daulat haram ki na na, hai ye kis kam ki ha ha
daulat haram ki, hai ye kis kam ki
kha lo kasam ise hath na lagayenge
hath na lagayenge hath na lagayenge
khun pasine ki jo milegi to khayenge shabas

Hark, lend an ear, anoint them well with oil,
For a servant greets those he holds dear.
Laying hands upon his mother, his wife,
He swears an oath, what is it, hear?

That which we earn with sweat and blood, we'll eat,
That which we earn with sweat and blood, we'll taste.
Or, brothers, we shall sleep with empty bellies,
Ill-gotten gains? Nay, of what use are these?
Ill-gotten gains, of what use are they?
Swear an oath, let them untouched remain,
Untouched remain, untouched remain.
That which we earn with sweat and blood, we'll eat,
Or, brothers, we shall sleep with empty bellies.

The wife of Seth Karorimal, one day, she spoke,
"Why sleep eludes you, without slumber's pills?"
Without slumber's pills, without slumber's pills?
Said Seth Karori, earning, coin by coin,
Forbidden wealth he gathered, yet it seemed so small,
Yet it seemed so small, yet it seemed so small.
The market was laid bare, and all was plundered,
The Seth inside, the wealth inside, both lost,
As the Seth did die, so shall all be slain,
All shall be slain, all shall be slain.
Therefore, I say to you, dear friends,
That which we earn with sweat and blood, we'll eat,
Or, brothers, we shall sleep with empty bellies.

A notorious thug, he'd seize what was another's,
He'd issue commands, they all obeyed, enslaved.
They all obeyed, enslaved, they all obeyed, enslaved.
His temper flared, the city was in fear,
But violence cast him down, where did it lead?
Where did it lead? Where did it lead?
When justice came, his arrogance was shattered,
The tyrant inside, his fury inside, his senses returned,
As he was killed, the wicked, all shall be slain,
All shall be slain, all shall be slain.
Therefore, I say to you, dear friends,
That which we earn with sweat and blood, we'll eat,
Or, brothers, we shall sleep with empty bellies.

Ill-gotten gains? Nay, of what use are these?
Ill-gotten gains, of what use are they?
Swear an oath, let them untouched remain,
Untouched remain, untouched remain.
That which we earn with sweat and blood, we'll eat, Bravo!
