Aven duniya dewe duhai
Jhoota paundi SHOR
Te Apne dil ton puch ke VEKHO
ki kaun nahin hai CHOR
World is going on about useless things All this noise is just a LIE
Ask your own heart Who is NOT a Thief
te ki main jhoot boliya
te ki main kufur toliya
te ki main Zehar Kholiya
Do I lie, do I poison
Oye Haq dooje da maar maar ke
Bante Log ameer
Main ihnu kehenda CHORI
Duniya kehendi Taqdeer
Stealing the others RIGHT
People Get Rich
I say its Robbery
World proclaims it to be Destiny
te ki main jhooht boliya
te ki main Zehar Kholiya
vekhe Pandit Gyani Dhyaani
daya dharam de bande
ram naam japed
te khande Gaushaalla de CHANDE
Have seen all the pundits , Gyani’s and all religious People
They take RAM’s Name all the time but eat the Funds from charity
te ki main jhooht boliya
te ki main kufur toliya
te ki main Zehar Kholiya
SACHE faansi Chadde Vekhe
Jhootha mauj udave
kehende RAB di MAYA
Main kehenda Anaye
The righteous are hanged Liars have FUN
People say it’s all God’s doing I say it’s WRONG DOING
te ki main jhooht boliya
te ki main kufur toliya
te ki main Zehar Kholiya
(Do I lie, do I poison )
Good one! Appreciate the translation. Happy May 2011 to you and yours!

I read the lyrics before i heard the song, and I liked the lyrics more – somehow the mood of the song did not match the lyrics and I ended up feeling disappointed. 🙂

This is a very famous movie of Rajkapoor, Jaagte raho. Typical bhangra dance! I had watched this movie many many years back in TV. It is a serious movie, if I remember correctly.
The lyrics are very apt for the current situation, may be it will be right at any time. I hadn’t given much thought for the meaning all this time. Thanks for the translation, Bikram. Do you know who the lyricist is?
