o mere bap ke bete o mere bete ke bao kahiye kaise hai aap
sethji tumne kiya kamal sethji sethji tumne kiya kamal sethji
kundi ki muddat pak gayi kundi ki muddat pak gayi
ye kah gaya rangul dalal dalal dalal
sethji tumne kiya kamal sethji sethji tumne kiya kamal sethji

wo feka paisa kismat ka khul gaya lifafa izzat ka
tum ek ke gyarah karte the
danto se dandi pakadte the danto se dandi pakadte the
o karodpati jalte tumse jai bol rahe kangal rahe kangal
sethji tumne kiya kamal sethji sethji tumne kiya kamal sethji

dhan dekar dharam liya tumne dhan dekar dharam liya tumne
anjane kam kiya tumne anjane kam kiya tumne
mandir bazar bagiche sab chalte tere nam ke niche ab
chap gaye photo jagah jagah ho gaye dusman than than pal
sethji tumne kiya kamal sethji sethji tumne kiya kamal sethji

ab black se nahi kamana hai na income tax dabana hai
hamne ye dil me thana hai kuch aisa karke jana hai
ha ji kuch aisa karke jana hai
jhan jhan kar jhankaar bulaye dili ka kotwal kotwal
sethji tumne kiya kamal sethji sethji tumne kiya kamal sethji

Oh, Father of my Father, Father of my Son,
Tell me, how do you fare, the work you have begun?
Sethji, you've done the marvelous deed,
Sethji, oh Sethji, planted a potent seed.
The latch, so long in its grip,
The color-seller, uttered this slip,
Sethji, you've done the marvelous deed,
Sethji, oh Sethji, planted a potent seed.

You cast the coin, fortune's fold,
Unveiled the envelope of tales yet untold.
From one, eleven you would weave,
The gambling stick between teeth, believe,
The millionaire, the fire that you brought,
The beggars sing your praises, dearly bought.
Sethji, you've done the marvelous deed,
Sethji, oh Sethji, planted a potent seed.

You bought the faith with earthly gain,
Unseen works, a pouring rain.
Temples, markets, gardens bloom,
Beneath the shadow of your room.
Your image printed, everywhere,
Foes like bells, ringing in despair,
Sethji, you've done the marvelous deed,
Sethji, oh Sethji, planted a potent seed.

No more the shadows of black trade,
Nor tax evasion, bravely made.
We vow within the heart's deep core,
To leave a legacy, evermore.
Yes, to leave a mark so true,
Where Delhi's warden calls to you,
Sethji, you've done the marvelous deed,
Sethji, oh Sethji, planted a potent seed.
