mehanat ki roti khata rahunga
mehanat ki roti khata rahunga
yu hi pasina bahata rahunga
khandan na apun karega
poket na apun marenga
le lo kasam dhandhe ki
mujhse le lo kasam dhandhe ki
mehanat ki roti khata rahunga

imandaari mujhko badi pyari
choro se bhari hai ye duniya saari
imandaari mujhko badi pyari
choro se bhari hai ye duniya saari
kar lega mujhse jo ek bar dhandha
umar bhar na bhulenga mujhko wo banda
dil na kisi ka todu main
graahak na koi chhodu main
le lo kasam dhandhe ki
mujhse le lo kasam dhandhe ki
mehanat ki roti khata rahunga

topi pahan ke log lakho kamaye
topi ham firaaye to chor kahlaye
topi pahan ke log lakho kamaye
neta giri hai bina punji ka dhandha
dete raho bhashan jama karte raho chanda
chande se ghar na bharega neta giri na karega
le lo kasam dhandhe ki
mujhse le lo kasam dhandhe ki
mehanat ki roti khata rahunga
le lo kasam dhandhe ki
mujhse le lo kasam dhandhe ki
le lo kasam dhandhe ki
mujhse le lo kasam dhandhe ki

I shall dine on labor's bread,
I shall dine on labor's bread,
And sweat, my only offering be spread.
No lineage will I flaunt,
No pockets I will haunt.
Take the oath, by trade I'll stand,
Take the oath, from my own hand.
I shall dine on labor's bread.

Honesty, a love that burns so bright,
In a world where thieves hold all the light.
Honesty, a love that burns so bright,
In a world where thieves hold all the light.
Let one trade with me, and they shall find,
A memory etched upon the mind.
No heart will I ever break,
No customer, I forsake.
Take the oath, by trade I'll stand,
Take the oath, from my own hand.
I shall dine on labor's bread.

Hats worn, fortunes they amass,
My hat, they'd call it a thief's class.
Hats worn, fortunes they amass,
Leadership, a trade with no coin,
Speeches they give, for donations they join.
From donations, no home will be found,
No leadership will I be bound.
Take the oath, by trade I'll stand,
Take the oath, from my own hand.
I shall dine on labor's bread.
Take the oath, by trade I'll stand,
Take the oath, from my own hand.
Take the oath, by trade I'll stand,
Take the oath, from my own hand.
