main tumhare liye dukh aur khushi bhi laya
main tumhare liye dukh aur khushi bhi laya
dekh lo aaj ke insaan, ki halat kya hain
aaj ki duniya me imaan, ki kimat kya hain
log jeete hain yaha duniya ko dhokha dekar
aaj ki tazaa khabar, aaj ki tazaa khabar
aaj ki tazaa khabar
aao kaka ji idhar, aao mama ji idhar
suno duniya ki khabar

aaj ek bhakt ne bhagwaan ka mandir luta
ek beimaan ne masjid me churaya juta
kale bazar ki ek toli pulish ne dhar li
ek budhe ne jawaa ladki se shadi kar li
ek ladka uda ek mem ka batuaa lekar
aaj ki tazaa khabar, aaj ki tazaa khabar
aaj ki tazaa khabar
aao kaka ji idhar, aao mama ji idhar
suno duniya ki khabar

ek dhanwaan ne aaj apana dharm chhod diya
aaj ek bhuke ne khud kaabu se dam tod diya
aaj tankhaa badhi hain to hain majdur magan
kal se ho jayega baajar me mahnga rashan
baabuji jayenge daftar ko pakaude khakar
aaj ki tazaa khabar, aaj ki tazaa khabar
aaj ki tazaa khabar
aao kaka ji idhar, aao mama ji idhar
suno duniya ki khabar

yu to ganpat bhi hain jo sabki hain rahmaan bhi hain
ye to batlao inme kahi insan bhi hain
koi roti koi paisa ko khuda kahta hain
har koi paap pe dhandhe mae laga rahta hain
aaj bhagwan se badhkar hain hawldar ka dar
aaj ki tazaa khabar, aaj ki tazaa khabar
aaj ki tazaa khabar
aao kaka ji idhar, aao mama ji idhar
suno duniya ki khabar
aao kaka ji idhar, aao mama ji idhar

aaj amerika ne atam ka udaya ghoda
rus ne aaj naya chand par racket chhoda
kahi se aaj ka insan kahi pahuncha hai
fir bhi sachchai ke raste pe nahi pahuncha hai
kise malum ki ye aadami jayega kidhar
aaj ki tazaa khabar, aaj ki tazaa khabar
aaj ki tazaa khabar
aao kaka ji idhar, aao mama ji idhar
suno duniya ki khabar
aao kaka ji idhar, aao mama ji idhar
suno duniya ki khabar

The headlines flash, the headlines gleam,
Come, uncles, gather, hear the news' extreme!
Come, aunties, listen, tales unfold,
Of a world grown weary, stories yet untold.
The headlines flash, the headlines gleam.

For you, I bring both sorrow and delight,
Tears and laughter, shadow and the light.
Behold the state of man, the human plight,
What price is faith in this benighted night?
They win, these souls, by shadows they conceal,
The headlines flash, the headlines reveal.
The headlines flash, the headlines gleam.

A devotee, the temple did defile,
A thief, his shoes from the mosque did steal.
Black market's clutch, the law did apprehend,
An old man took a young bride as a friend.
A boy did snatch a purse, then disappear,
The headlines flash, the headlines are here.
The headlines flash, the headlines gleam.

The wealthy man, his faith he did forsake,
A hungry soul, his final breath did take.
Today, the wages rose, the workers cheer,
Tomorrow, prices climb, a rising fear.
The babu goes to work, on fried delight,
The headlines flash, in the fading light.
The headlines flash, the headlines gleam.

So Ganpat exists, the Rahman's grace,
But tell me truly, do they find their place?
Some worship bread, some worship coin's gleam,
And every soul is lost in sin's extreme.
Today, more fear the constable's decree,
The headlines flash, for all the world to see.
The headlines flash, the headlines gleam.

America unleashed the atom's fire,
Russia launched a rocket, reaching higher.
Man has journeyed, far and wide he's flown,
Yet truth's true path, he has not yet known.
Who knows the course this human race will take?
The headlines flash, the headlines awake.
The headlines flash, the headlines gleam.
