mera joban bandha rupaiya
o teri baato me aake sipayia
rupaiya abhi na bhunaoogi main
rupaiya abhi na bhunaoogi main
mera joban bandha rupaiya
o teri baato me aake sipayia
rupaiya abhi na bhunaoogi main

mohe pata hai tere man ke khot ka
kahe dikhawe mohe koda note ka
akhiyan se tohpar karke totka bhag jaungi mai
rupaiya abhi na bhunaoogi main
rupaiya abhi na bhunaoogi main
mera joban bandha rupaiya
o teri baato me aake sipayia
rupaiya abhi na bhunaoogi main

rakha rupaiya maine muthi mai bhich ke
kaise luta dun aise aankh mich ke
kharcha kare jo jara hath khich ke uspe lutaugi mai
rupaiya abhi na bhunaoogi main
rupaiya abhi na bhunaoogi main
mera joban bandha rupaiya
o teri baato me aake sipayia
rupaiya abhi na bhunaoogi main

My youth, a coin, held fast,
By your words, a soldier's cast.
This coin, I will not spend it yet,
This coin, I will not spend it yet.
My youth, a coin, held fast,
By your words, a soldier's cast.
This coin, I will not spend it yet.

I know the flaws that haunt your mind,
Why flash this paltry note, unkind?
With eyes that cast a binding spell, I'll flee away from thee.
This coin, I will not spend it yet,
This coin, I will not spend it yet.
My youth, a coin, held fast,
By your words, a soldier's cast.
This coin, I will not spend it yet.

This coin I clutch, within my fist,
How can I squander, be dismissed?
For him who spends with measured grace,
On him, my treasure I embrace.
This coin, I will not spend it yet,
This coin, I will not spend it yet.
My youth, a coin, held fast,
By your words, a soldier's cast.
This coin, I will not spend it yet.
