aao haste haste or jao haste haste
isi bat pe bajao tali mai hu surma bhopali
miya huzur ma bhopali mai hu surma bhopali
miya huzur ma bhopali
mai na rahu bhopal me to sahar lage hai khali
mai hu surma bhopali miya huzur ma bhopali

ye mera bhopal hai jo pyar pe malamal hai
pira ghad se east nagar tak jo hai yaha khushal hai
modi maszid jama maszid jo bhi dekhe birla madir
chamak uthe hai uski najar kamlapati rani ka mahal hai
bich me dono talo ke jaise meri nak hai pyare
mere dono galo ke meri chal hai anokhi sabse
meri chal hai anokhi sabse meri ada hai nirali
mai hu surma bhopali miya huzur ma bhopali

ek naya bhopal bhi hai bhopal ke andar bhi are miya
bangle wale jhuggi wale sab rahte hai milke jaha
tange wale pan wale hotel wale sabhi yar hai mere
yaha ke budhe bache sabhi gale ka har hai mere
mai lakdi ki tal ka malik sab jane hai mera nam
tabse hai yarana mera sabse karta hu salam
har mausam me har mausam me magan rahu mai
patjhad ho ya hariyali
mai hu surma bhopali miya huzur ma bhopali

meri saikil meri dulhan hai isko saja ke rakhta hu
ise akela jab bhi chodu tala laga ke rakhta hu
logo meri surat pe na jao dil hai mera ayine jaisa
mujhse meri ammi ne kaha tha beta hath ka mail hai paisa
paise ki parwah na karna bhale kam me rahna aage
uske karam par rakhna bharosha wo jab chahe kismat jage
uparwala uparwala kadam kadam par kare teri rakhwali
mai hu surma bhopali miya huzur ma bhopali
mai na rahu bhopal me to sahar lage hai khali
mai hu surma bhopali miya huzur ma bhopali
mai hu surma bhopali miya huzur ma bhopali

Come, laugh as you arrive, depart with a smile,
On this truth, let your applause resound, I'm the Surma of Bhopal.
Mian Hujur, Mother of Bhopal, I'm the Surma of Bhopal,
Mian Hujur, Mother of Bhopal.
If I'm gone from Bhopal, the city feels bare,
I'm the Surma of Bhopal, Mian Hujur, Mother of Bhopal.

This is my Bhopal, overflowing with love,
From the Piragad to the East Nagar, happiness thrives.
The Modi Masjid, Jama Masjid, Birla Temple in sight,
Their gaze brightens, Queen Kamalapati's palace shines.
Between the two lakes, like my nose, so grand,
My two cheeks, my gait, unique in the land.
My gait is unique, my style is unmatched,
I'm the Surma of Bhopal, Mian Hujur, Mother of Bhopal.

A new Bhopal exists, within Bhopal's embrace,
The bungalow owners, the slum dwellers, all live in this space.
The tonga drivers, the paan sellers, the hoteliers, all friends of mine,
The old and young here, are jewels upon my shrine.
I'm the master of a girl's rhythm, all know my name,
Since then, my camaraderie, to all, I give my acclaim.
In every season, in every season, I am filled with glee,
Whether autumn or springtime,
I'm the Surma of Bhopal, Mian Hujur, Mother of Bhopal.

My bicycle is my bride, I adorn her with care,
When I leave her alone, I secure her with a lock's snare.
Don't judge me by my looks, for my heart is a mirror,
My mother told me, "Son, money is but hand's stain, a terror."
Don't be concerned about money, stay ahead in your work,
Place your trust in His deeds, for when fate awakens, no darkness will lurk.
The One Above, the One Above, guards you at every stride,
I'm the Surma of Bhopal, Mian Hujur, Mother of Bhopal.
If I'm gone from Bhopal, the city feels bare,
I'm the Surma of Bhopal, Mian Hujur, Mother of Bhopal.
I'm the Surma of Bhopal, Mian Hujur, Mother of Bhopal.
