Bharat Maata ki Jai from Shanghai is a song with a satirical flavor. The song, which in the mukhda (title) hails Mother India, talks about the dogmatism and open corruption of those in power. A translation is here.

Hey tak dhina dhin*
Maar lapad phaad chhapad, chhaat pyaare
Na sune baat koi, haath hai aur laat pyaare

Hey dance,
Give a slap, break the roof, O dear,
If someone doesn't listen (and agree to you), you've got hands n kicks..

Lyrics: Kumaar
Singers: Shekhar Ravjiani, Nandini Srikar, Arijit Singh

Kise poochun, hai aisa kyun
Bezubaan sa, ye jahaan hai

To whom to ask, why is it so,
this world is, as if mute..

Khushi ke pal, kahan dhoondhooN
Benishan sa, waqt bhi yahan hai

Where to find moments of joy,
Even time is like without a sign..

Jaane kitne labon pe gile hain
Zindagi se kayi faasle hain
Paseejte hain sapne kyun aankhon mein
Lakeer jab chhoote in haathon se yoon bewajah

Lyrics: Anvita Dutt Guptan
Singer: Richa Sharma

Oo door shehar se humka laaga India aisa place
Oont gaaye pe aata jaata hoga saara des
Hum ka jaane hum ka jaane hum ka jaane
Skyscraper hoga har kone kone pe
Arrey nikli India aagey jeeti pogress ki race
Tabhi toh, tabhi toh
Mori imported kamariya, chhaant ke aayi duniya
Welcome welcome karti India jaan le gayi

O, from far away city I found India a place like
all the country must be moving on camels-cows (etc.)
How would I, how would I know,
that there would be skyscrapers in every corner..
India has moved ahead, has won the race of progress..
that's why, that's why..
My imported waist, has searched through the world,
(but) greeting with welcomes, India took my heart..

Khudaya Tu Bata (Shanghai): Lyrics, Translation

Movie: Shanghai
Music: Vishal-Shekhar
Lyrics: Neelesh Misra
Singers: Shekhar Ravjiani, Raja Hasan

Nemat khuda kar zara ek dafa
Dil dene ka keh zara falsafa
Ye naacheez ek cheez uski maange hai tujhse
Musafir ye dehleez maange hai tujhse
Khudaya tu bata.. Kahaan uska pata, pata kar,
Main uske bina bepata hoon
be pata, be pata, be-pata hoon

O god, do a favor (upon me) once,
tell me the philosophy of giving one's heart
this nobody (me) asks for one thing of hers -
O god, tell me where she is. find out,
(because) I am lost without her,
I'm lost, completely lost..
(be-pata literally is one without an address)
