aa kismat fati huyi thi tanke laga rahe hai
allha tere bande daulat kama rahe hai
fati huyi kismat ki chadar siye ja siye ja
siye ja ho bande siye ja siye ja siye ja
fati huyi kismat ki chadar siye ja siye ja
siye ja ho bande siye ja siye ja siye ja
jiya ja jiye ja jiye ja o o ho siye ja siye ja siye ja

apne pichhe padi thi jalim o o ho
apne pichhe padi thi jalim kismat panje jhad ke
allha ne jab daulat bheji bheji chhapad fadke
aur ye kaha aur ye kaha kismat pe bakiya
siye ja siye ja siye ja o o ho bande siye ja siye ja siye ja
jiya ja jiye ja jiye ja o o ho siye ja siye ja siye ja

matlab ki to jute chate matlab ki to jute chate
bap ho ya bhai ho usi ke tanke pakke jisne
daulat khub kamayi hai duniya ki
duniya ki god god se jo bhi nikale
liye ja liye ja liye ja o o bande siye ja siye ja
siye ja jiya ja jiye ja jiye ja o o ho siye ja siye ja siye ja

akal ki suyi lekar beta ho beta akal ki suyi lekar
beta samjh ke dore dale ja dekh kahi dhaga na tute
sambhal ke phul nikale arey ja tu to na tu to na
aise kapde siye ja siye ja siye ja
ho bande siye ja siye ja siye ja
jiya ja jiye ja jiye ja o o ho siye ja siye ja siye ja
fati huyi kismat ki chadar siye ja siye ja
siye ja ho brother siye ja siye ja

The torn fate, stitched and mended,
While Allah's flock, their fortunes, ascended.
Sew the cloak of fate, torn and frayed,
Sew on, oh mortal, sew, unafraid.
Sew the cloak of fate, torn and frayed,
Sew on, oh mortal, sew, unafraid.
Live on, live on, live on, oh, sew, sew, sew.

Behind, a cruel fate, lurking, oh,
Claws of destiny, raking slow.
When Allah sent wealth, a deluge poured,
And whispered, "On fate, what is stored?"
Sew on, oh, sew, oh, oh mortal, sew, sew, sew.
Live on, live on, live on, oh, sew, sew, sew.

For self-interest, boots are licked with zeal,
For those who reap the fortune, the deal.
Father or brother, the stitches they bind,
To those who hoard the world's design.
From the world's lap, whatever is found,
Take it, take it, take it, oh mortal, sew, sew, sew.
Live on, live on, live on, oh, sew, sew, sew.

With wisdom's needle, son, heed the call,
Cast your thread, lest it fall.
Watch and see, lest the thread should break,
Be cautious, a flower will awake.
Do not, do not, do not, this cloth you sow,
Sew, sew, sew.
Oh mortal, sew, sew, sew.
Live on, live on, live on, oh, sew, sew, sew.
The torn cloak of fate, sew, sew,
Sew on, oh mortal, sew, unafraid.
