ghanta nahi ye ghar hai chikhna chilana nahi ye ghar hai
ye ghar nahi ghanta ghar hai chikhna chilana nahi ye ghar hai
makdi ke jaale pehre daale sapne sajaake so gaye sare
aankh khuli to kiratya mange makan malik chanda
o ho ho sadda adda o ho ho sadda adda

Not a bell, but a home, not screaming, a dwelling's hush,
Not a home, but a toll, where silence knows no blush.
Spiders spin their webs, dreams asleep, all slumber deep,
Wake to a demand, the landlord's call, rent to keep.

Oh, ho, ho, our haunt, oh, ho, ho, our keep.
