sanjh pade gaaye diwana logo kahi so na jana
gali gali chor ghume jagte rehna
sanjh pade gaaye diwana logo kahi so na jana
gali gali chor ghume jagte rehna

teri meri mehnat sathi fasal ugaye sone ki
mila ke maati me rangat khoon pasine ki
teri meri mehnat sathi fasal ugaye sone ki
mila ke maati me rangat khoon pasine ki
fasal pake to koi aaye sara kuch leke jaye
gali gali chor ghume jagte rehna

lage har ek dali yaara khadi ho jaise koi bala
pehenke moti ki mala odhe doshala
lage har ek dali yaara khadi ho jaise koi bala
pehenke moti ki mala odhe doshala
dol rahi ghunghat me gori ye ghunghat ho na chori
gali gali chor ghume jagte rehna

bhare tu khaliyan jinka vo de tujhe char tinka
tere liye kaal hai or maal hai unka
bhare tu khaliyan jinka vo de tujhe char tinka
tere liye kaal hai or maal hai unka
ye rit or ye zamane badle kab ram jane
gali gali chor ghume jagte rehna

sanjh pade gaaye diwana logo kahi so na jana
gali gali chor ghume jagte rehna
sanjh pade gaaye diwana logo kahi so na jana
gali gali chor ghume jagte rehna
sanjh pade gaaye diwana logo kahi so na jana
gali gali chor ghume jagte rehna

As twilight falls, the madman sings, dear souls, do not succumb to sleep,
For thieves now roam each lane, vigilant keep.
As twilight falls, the madman sings, dear souls, do not succumb to sleep,
For thieves now roam each lane, vigilant keep.

Our shared toil, my friend, yields a harvest bright as gold,
With the hues of sweat and blood, in earth's embrace, a story told.
Our shared toil, my friend, yields a harvest bright as gold,
With the hues of sweat and blood, in earth's embrace, a story told.
And when the bounty blooms, they come, to seize and take away,
For thieves now roam each lane, vigilant keep.

Each branch, my friend, appears a lurking curse,
Adorned with pearls, a shawl, a veiled verse.
Each branch, my friend, appears a lurking curse,
Adorned with pearls, a shawl, a veiled verse.
Beneath the veil, a maiden sways, lest her innocence be plundered,
For thieves now roam each lane, vigilant keep.

You fill their barns, and they offer but a meager straw,
For you, it's death, for them, the law.
You fill their barns, and they offer but a meager straw,
For you, it's death, for them, the law.
When will these customs and this age be changed, only God knows,
For thieves now roam each lane, vigilant keep.

As twilight falls, the madman sings, dear souls, do not succumb to sleep,
For thieves now roam each lane, vigilant keep.
As twilight falls, the madman sings, dear souls, do not succumb to sleep,
For thieves now roam each lane, vigilant keep.
As twilight falls, the madman sings, dear souls, do not succumb to sleep,
For thieves now roam each lane, vigilant keep.
