bhaiya dekh liya hai bahut teri sardari re,
ab to humri baari re na..
Mehengai ki mahamaari ne humara bhatta bitha diya,
chale hataane gareebi gareebon ko hata diya
Sarbat ki tarah desh ko gatka hai gatagat
Aam aadmi ki jeb ho gayi hai safachat

We've seen enough of your rule,
now it's our chance..
The epidemic of price-rise has made us lose everything..
they started to remove poverty, but removed poors itself,
they've drunk the country in gulps like a sweet drink,
and the pocket of common man is all gone empty..

bhaiya dekh liya hai bahut teri sardari re,
ab to hamri baari re na..

birla ho ya tata
ambani ho ya bata,
sabne apne chakkar mein
des ko hai baanta
are humre hi khoon se inka
engine chale dhakadhak
Aam aadmi ki jeb ho gayi hai safachat

Whether it's Birla or Tata,
Ambani, or Bata.. (whatever business it is)
everyone has cut the country
for their own good..
with our blood only,
their engine goes non-stop..
the pocket of common man is all gone empty..

ab to nahi chalegi teri ye rangdari re
ab to humri baari re na..

now this illegal tax will not go on,
now it's our chance..
