if you dont mind my dear friend
kabhi sach bat kahne me hichak mujhko nahi hoti
khuda ki kasam mujhko ram ki sogandh hai
by god paraya ho ke apna ho jhijhak mujhko nahi hoti
kisne dikhaya tha bata tujhe bambai ka rasta
do char din ki bat hai chal jayega tujhko pata
do char din ki bat hai chal jayega tujhko pata
ye bambai beta tujhe ye bambai beta tujhe
rakhegi ghar na ghat ka chal jayega tujhko pata

abhi pet me rotiya bhar ke hai abhi bat koi nhi dar ki hai
jara paw bhajiye ke din aaen de
ke papo ka mausam jara chane de
ke papo ka mausam jara chane de
ye pyari si surat ye pyari si surat utar jayegi
agar aayine pe najar jayegi na khud ko hi pahchan tu payega
bahut apni karni pe pachtayega
bahut apni karni pe pachtayega isi sharam me na laut ke
ghar tu na ja sakega kabhi umar bhar
kisne dikhaya tha bata tujhe bambai ka rasta
do char din ki bat hai chal jayega tujhko pata
ye bambai beta tujhe ye bambai beta tujhe
rakhegi ghar na ghat ka chal jayega tujhko pata

tere bistara gol ho ajyega ke akhbar sone ke kam aayega
milegi yaha ssej footpath ki sirhaan bane chappale panw ki
na diwar darwaja na diwar darwaja khidki yaha
hai apni haweli ki chhat aasma yaha jindagi utni rangi nahi
colour filmo me lagti itni hasi colour filmo me lagti itni hasi
yaha chalu hai jo wo hi chalta raha
jo chehre pe chehra badalta raha but you are very soft my boy
kisne dikhaya tha bata tujhe bambai ka rasta
do char din ki bat hai chal jayega tujhko pata
ye bambai beta tujhe ye bambai beta tujhe
rakhegi ghar na ghat ka chal jayega tujhko pata

galat taish me na kisi josh me uthaya hai maine kadam josh me
na bahka hua hu koi yar mai na bilmonia ka hu bimar mai
na ek rat me na ek rat me lahkpati hona hai
nahi pas aisa jo kuch khona hai
hai is mitti ka karz mujhpe koi
hai is nagri ka rista mujhse koi
ha ye do hath mehnat se thakte nahi
kisi gum se hum har sakte nahi
are wah kya bola really this is no jock my friend
dedo mujhe mauka jara tumse mera wada raha
do char din ki bat hai chal jayega sabko pata
bambai me charcha hoga chal
bambai me charcha hoga chal apne hi thath or bat ka
chal jayega sabko pata chal jayega sabko pata
chal jayega sabko pata chal jayega sabko pata

If you don't mind, my dear friend,
I falter not to speak the truth,
By God, I swear by Ram,
To shed my guise, to claim you, without a flinch.
Who showed you the road to Bombay?
A few days, and you will understand.
A few days, and you will understand.
This Bombay, boy, this Bombay, this Bombay,
Will leave you neither home nor foe, you will understand.

Your belly full, no fear yet,
Let the days of Pav Bhaji arrive,
Let the season of sins descend.
Let the season of sins descend.
This sweet face, this sweet face,
Will fade away,
If you gaze in the mirror, you won't recognize yourself.
You will regret your actions,
You will regret your actions, in shame,
You will never return home, not ever.
Who showed you the road to Bombay?
A few days, and you will understand.
This Bombay, boy, this Bombay, this Bombay,
Will leave you neither home nor foe, you will understand.

Your bed will be a circle, a newspaper your sleep,
You'll find your couch on the footpath, slippers your pillow,
No walls, no doors, no windows here,
The sky, the roof of your mansion here,
Life isn't so colorful,
It seems so beautiful in color films, it seems so beautiful in color films,
What's running here, is what runs here,
Where faces change like a chameleon, but you are very soft my boy.
Who showed you the road to Bombay?
A few days, and you will understand.
This Bombay, boy, this Bombay, this Bombay,
Will leave you neither home nor foe, you will understand.

Not in the wrong rage, nor in any enthusiasm, have I taken a step in zest,
I am not misled, no friend, I am not sick with pneumonia,
Not in one night, not in one night, to become a millionaire,
There is nothing to lose like that,
I owe a debt to this soil,
I owe a debt to this city.
Yes, these two hands never tire of labor,
We cannot lose to any sorrow.
Wow, what did I say, really, this is no joke my friend,
Give me a chance, my promise to you,
A few days, and everyone will know,
Bombay will be the talk,
Bombay will be the talk, of your own hands and words,
Everyone will understand, everyone will understand,
Everyone will understand, everyone will understand.
