ek ladki ki ankh ladi se muh se nili nili nili
kachhue ne kachhue ko mani misayal se aisa jo dank mara
shum ta shum ta shum ta ara ra ra ra
ye dunia kya chahe money money yaha riste nate money money
pyar chaho to nikalo money yaar chaho to nikalo money
are afsar ke upar bhi afsar chakkar ke ander bhi chakkar
is chakkar me hai ghanchakkar kala dhandha hua gulabi
chor ke hath me lag gayi chabi
rajniti ke bede lagte sidhe hote tedhe
is system ki aisi taisi haye kaha hai democarcy
in sab ki uthwao khat ek hath ki baat

are ghata ghat gadiyal ghumakkad ghan ghan ghanti bole
dhadak dhadak dil daule are bangoli tu pani khilade
tu banrasi patta lade kacha bhaiya mujhe chabade
inko chuna tu lagade inko to dhum ta dhum ta dhum ta

hoye gaye ja tu gaye ja mahale pe mar mar jawe lalawa
paise wala khawe halwa halwe ne khayi malayi bhi
apne to hisse chachh bhi na aayi re ara ara rara ra
ye dunia kya chahe money money yaha riste nate money money
pyar chaho to nikalo maoney yaar chaho to nikalo money
ara ara ara ara rara ra

are khel karo khilwad karo par satu tanik vichar karo
are kyu karte ho tera mera ye hai mera wo hai tera
are sab ke sab bane ho bail sata tumhari bani rakhail
are tata misa nasha beda gundo ka har dal basera
khatam khatti hata mhatti latham lathi chatam chatti
kutam kutti jutam juti bhari hai muthi kab ho chutti

are sanam coat ke chak chala rahe wo chakka
chandi ki is chaka chaund me chamko ne kab chakka
tum sab chhapan bhojan chuso or hamase kahte ho ganna chuso
chele khel mauj bhi lele jail se khulam khulla
pyar se inko kya lena hai kam kare abdulla

dake dale danga karaye paap kare phir ganga nahaye
daro mat yaaro inse karo aara rara rara
aise logo ki ho jam ke dhulayi re
ye dunia kya chahe money money
yaha riste nate money money pyar chaho to nikalo money
yaar chaho to nikalo money ara ara ara ara rara ra

are lachak lachak ke machak machak ke
karam nikhattu nach dikhaye kuwe sukhe badra ruthe
fush se nal me jal nahaye are swiming pool me genda harse
pyasa bund bund ko tarse pyaso ki ankho ko tarse
pyaso ki ankho me apni
are bacho ke sapno me pani budho ki sanso me pani
ghar ghar ki aaso me pani are pani
pani pani pani teri buri kahani
itna pani phir bhi jani kheto me nahi tikta pani
bahut udas khta tha rani panghat se nahi milta pani
chhalak chhalak ke chal chal pani
chhamak chhamak ke barse pani
barse pani are mar gaya inki ankh ka pani
sarama se jyada ho gaya pani bukh se ho gayi pet ki takkar
khun chuste khatmal machhar are baith ke munna laga jhunjhuna
inki to dhum ta dhum ta dhum ta

ara ra ra ra ye dunia kya chahe money money
yaha riste nate money money pyar chaho to nikalo money
yaar chaho to nikalo money

From the girl's eyes, a blue, blue, blue hue,
Like a tortoise, a missile, a stinging true.
Dhoom ta dhoom ta dhoom ta, ara ra ra ra ra.
This world, what it craves, money, money,
Here, relationships, money, money.
Love you desire, extract the money,
Friend you desire, extract the money.

Oh, the officer, above another officer,
Circles within circles, a dizzying offer.
In this whirlwind, a muddle, a chaotic plight,
Black business turns rose, a terrible sight.
The thief holds the key, a wicked hold,
Politics seem straight, but stories unfold.
To hell with this system, where is democracy?
Let's dismantle it all, a single decree.

Oh, the Ghat, the crocodile, a wandering mind,
Gong rings, a bell, leaving all behind.
Thud, thud, the heart sways, a rhythm untold,
Oh Bengali, feed me water, so bold.
Bring the Banarasi leaf, the essence of grace,
Oh, raw brother, let me chew, in this sacred space.
Touch them, let it be done,
Dhoom ta dhoom ta dhoom ta.

Go, go, to the mahal, where death's song is sung,
The wealthy devour halwa, their praises are hung.
Halwa has eaten the cream, a delicious spread,
We are left with buttermilk, what a bitter dread.
Ara ara rara ra,
This world, what it craves, money, money,
Here, relationships, money, money.
Love you desire, extract the money,
Friend you desire, extract the money.
Ara ara ara ara rara ra.

Oh, play, frolic, but with a moment of thought,
Why do you say "mine" and "yours" as you're caught?
You are all bullocks, enslaved by desire,
Tata's poison, the goons' place of fire.
Finished, sour, the hand is heavy,
Blows and strikes, a chaotic levy.
Kut-kut, juta-juti, a heavy fist,
When will freedom arrive, when will we be kissed?

Oh, beloved, turning the wheel of the coat,
In the silver glare, when did the shine elope?
You all feast on fifty-six dishes with glee,
And tell us to chew sugarcane, wild and free.
Disciples, play, enjoy, and find fun,
From the jail, openly done.
Love is lost on those who work with the heart,
Abdullah does the job, a work of art.

They see, they incite, they commit sin,
Then bathe in the Ganga, to begin again.
Don't fear these people, do ara rara rara.
Such people, a jam of cleansing rain.
This world, what it craves, money, money,
Here, relationships, money, money.
Love you desire, extract the money,
Friend you desire, extract the money.
Ara ara ara ara rara ra.

Oh, swaying and writhing, a wicked dance,
The well is dry, the clouds don't glance.
They bathe in the drain, a shameful spree,
In the swimming pool, a flower for me.
Thirsty, they yearn for a single drop,
Thirsty eyes, their hopes will not stop.
In the eyes of the thirsty, they see,
In the dreams of children, water flows free.
In the breath of the old, in every home's plea,
Water, water, water, a terrible history.
So much water, yet the fields are dry,
"Rani," he would sadly sigh.
Spilling, flowing, water's grace,
Shining, shimmering, water's embrace.
Water falls, alas, their eyes' water is dead,
Shame prevails, the water has spread.
Hunger clashes with the stomach's might,
Blood-sucking bedbugs, mosquitoes bite.
Sit, Munna, and shake your rattle bright,
Dhoom ta dhoom ta dhoom ta.

Ara ra ra ra, this world, what it craves, money, money,
Here, relationships, money, money.
Love you desire, extract the money,
Friend you desire, extract the money.
