ustare se naai chaaku se kasai ustare se naai chaaku se kasai
kate na to kya karega bhai ustare se nai chaku se kasai
ustare se nai chaku se kasai kate na to kya karega bhai
ustare se nai chaku se kasai kate na to kya karega bhai
hai na zinda to rehna hai behna o behna

murgi ajij hai tu kitni lajij hai tu takht posh ko baja ke
taal sunti hai chonch se daal chugati hai
hai daal moth khayegi to moti hoti jayegi
khaye ja muttali meri jo tu ho tasli meri
haye tu wazan badhe mera hai na jinda to rahna hai behna

murgi hasin hai tu kitna jahin hai tu
nile pile bal tere chikne rahte hai
tel kanghi ke begair chikne rahte hai
ande pe bitha ke chhuja ek nikal degi
jadu hai murgi meri jadu hai murgi meri
dana khana ande dena jinda to rahna hai behna o behna
ustare se nai chaku se kasai kate na to kya
karega bhai ae bahna

The barber's blade, the butcher's knife,
The barber's blade, the butcher's strife,
If they don't cut, what else can they do?
The barber's blade, the butcher's knife,
If they don't cut, what else can they do?
The barber's blade, the butcher's knife,
If they don't cut, what else can they do?
We are alive, we must keep flowing, sister, oh sister.

Hen, how dear you are, how delicious you seem,
Upon the throne, you tap a rhythm,
Listening to the beat, pecking at the grain,
If you eat the pulses, you will become a pearl,
Eat, my darling, and bring me peace,
Eat, and let my weight increase,
We are alive, we must keep flowing.

Hen, how lovely you are, how clever you are,
Your feathers, blue and gold, are always sleek,
Slick, without oil, without the comb,
You will hatch a chick from sitting on an egg,
Magic you are, my hen, magic you are,
Eating the seed, laying the eggs, we must keep living, oh sister,
The barber's blade, the butcher's knife, if they don't cut,
What will they do, oh sister?
