lucknow chhuta to dilli ne luta
lucknow chhuta to dilli ne luta
ye mana kabhi main naadaan thi
ye mana kabhi main naadaan thi
yaaro ne dikhaya mujhe har khaab jhutha
lucknow chhuta to dilli ne luta
lucknow chhuta to dilli ne luta

dilli shahar se jab kiya kinara
to bambai me chamka kismat ka sitara
dilli shahar se jab kiya kinara
to bambai me chamka kismat ka sitara
hazaaro hai dil mere kadmo ke niche
ke rahti hai daulat mere aage pichhe
lutaane lage, log mujhpe dilo jaan
mere khaab karte, hai sabko pareshaan
vo shohrat hui mere naam ki
haay vo shohrat hui mere naam ki
ho ab main dikhaati firun sab ko angutha
lucknow chhuta to dilli ne luta
lucknow chhuta to dilli ne luta

meri najar ka bana jo nishana
vo raha umar bhar mera hi diwana
meri najar ka bana jo nishana
vo raha umar bhar mera hi diwana
kai khun karti hun main dil dahaade
ki kaanun bhi mera kuch na bigaade
ye fankaar mara, gajardaar mara
sabhi ko ban ke gunehgaar mara
mere hath me hai dukhti rage
mere hath me hai dukhti rage
ho usi ne manaya mujhe jo mujh se rutha
lucknow chhuta to dilli ne luta
lucknow chhuta to dilli ne luta
ye mana kabhi main naadaan thi
haay mana kabhi main naadaan thi
ho yaaro ne dikhaya mujhe har khaab jhutha
lucknow chhuta to dilli ne luta
lucknow chhuta to dilli ne luta

When Lucknow vanished, Delhi plundered,
When Lucknow vanished, Delhi plundered.
I confess, I was once naive,
I confess, I was once naive.
Friends unveiled false dreams for me,
When Lucknow vanished, Delhi plundered,
When Lucknow vanished, Delhi plundered.

From Delhi's grasp, I took my flight,
In Bombay, fortune shone its light.
From Delhi's grasp, I took my flight,
In Bombay, fortune shone its light.
Beneath my feet, a thousand hearts reside,
And wealth now follows, close beside.
They lavish hearts and lives on me,
My dreams torment all they see.
Fame now etched upon my name,
Oh, fame now etched upon my name.
Now I raise my thumb in disdain,
When Lucknow vanished, Delhi plundered,
When Lucknow vanished, Delhi plundered.

Whom I target, becomes mine to hold,
Forever bound, a story told.
Whom I target, becomes mine to hold,
Forever bound, a story told.
I spill the blood in broad daylight,
And even law can't halt my might.
I strike the artist, the grand, the bold,
All made guilty, stories told.
The throbbing veins lie in my hand,
The throbbing veins lie in my hand.
And he, who broke away, made me whole,
When Lucknow vanished, Delhi plundered,
When Lucknow vanished, Delhi plundered.
I confess, I was once naive,
Ah, I confess, I was once naive.
Friends unveiled false dreams for me,
When Lucknow vanished, Delhi plundered,
When Lucknow vanished, Delhi plundered.
