yaha sab jhagde roti ke hai
raha pyar na koi yarana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana
ise azma ke dekha hai thok baja ke dekha
ho raha pyar na koi yarana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana

chahe resmi shal odhle chahe bandhe langoti
jine ke liye chahiye re bhaiya do waqt ki roti
phir kyu chandi sona ikatha karke bhare khajana
do roti hi khani hai koi sona to nahi khana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana

amir ka bas jo chale garib ko to jine bhi na de
roti ki to bat chhodo pani bhi pine na de
dhokhe fareb se lute garib ko daulat ka diwana
pani ko piye chhaan chhaan ke khun piye anchhana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana

jis majdur ki mehnat se bante hai mahal chobare
wahi bechara sadak kinare apni rat guzare
garib pe daulatmando ne aur kitna julm hai dhana
jiske pasine se bangle bane nahi uska koi thikana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana

jinke dil me pap bhara hai inki niyat khoti
sab daulatmand chhin rahe hai dekho garib ki roti
roti ke jhagde se ujde basta hua gharana
beti ma se beta bap se ho jaye begana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana

pooja path or dan kare bante hai din dayalu
din ko jitne sardhalu hai rat ko utne chalu
is kamre me bana hai mandir usme hai maykhana
idhar parbhu ko bhog lagaye udhar bhare paymana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana
ise azma ke dekha hai thok baja ke dekha
ho raha pyar na koi yarana

zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana
ise azma ke dekha hai thok baja ke dekha
ho raha pyar na koi yarana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana
zamana kaisa zamana ye aaya kaisa zamana

The bread's the brawl, the war we wage,
No love remains, no friendship's page.
What age is this, what era's blight?
What age is this, what endless night?
We've tested it, with hammer's blow,
No love remains, no seeds to sow.
What age is this, what era's blight?
What age is this, what endless night?

Wrap silk around, or rags you bind,
To live, dear friend, two meals you'll find.
Why hoard the gold, the silver gleam?
Just bread you eat, not golden dream.
What age is this, what era's blight?
What age is this, what endless night?

The rich man's whim, the poor denied,
Not bread alone, but water dried.
With trickery they steal their fill,
The wealth-mad prey, against their will.
Filter the water, drink the blood,
What age is this, misunderstood?
What age is this, what era's blight?
What age is this, what endless night?

The worker's sweat, the mansions rise,
He sleeps on streets, beneath the skies.
How much more pain, the wealthy's art,
Whose sweat built homes, with broken heart?
What age is this, what era's blight?
What age is this, what endless night?

In hearts of sin, the wicked dwell,
They steal the bread, the poor man's hell.
The bread's the war, the home is lost,
Daughter from mother, at such cost.
What age is this, what era's blight?
What age is this, what endless night?

Prayers and gifts, a pious show,
The day's devout, the night's aglow.
In temple built, a tavern's found,
To gods they offer, drunk abound.
What age is this, what era's blight?
What age is this, what endless night?
We've tested it, with hammer's blow,
No love remains, no seeds to sow.
What age is this, what era's blight?
What age is this, what endless night?
We've tested it, with hammer's blow,
No love remains, no seeds to sow.
What age is this, what era's blight?
What age is this, what endless night?
