Mu : tel maalish boot paalish
Ek aana boot paalish do aana tel maalish
Gaadhe paseene ki ye apani kamaai hai
Na to kisi ki chori na koi seenaa-zori
Haathon se roti jo kamaai hai to khaai hai
Cho : ek aana boot paalish ...
Bangale mein rahate nahi rahate hain chaal mein
Kush hi rahe hain yaaron rahen jis haal mein
Phaaqe bhi kaate par maangi nahi paai hai
Cho : ek aana boot paalish ...
Laakhon ki tamanna hai na mahalon ka kyaal hai
Subah-shaam roti mile itana savaal hai
To bhi na jeene de ye duniya duhaai hai
Cho : ek aana boot paalish ...
Duniya mein chhota nahi koi chhote kaam se
Chhota hai jo pet bhare kisi khote kaam se
Haathon ki mehanat mein kaun si buraai hai
Cho : ek aana boot paalish ...
