ae dhan walo mar gaye bhukhe
apne desh ke bande
inke pet ke dushman ban gaye
kaale dhan ke dhandhe
chhod ye kala dhandha are tu ban ja banda
chhod ye kala dhandha are tu ban ja banda
ae dhan walo mar gaye bhukhe

haye haye yo yo haye haye yo yo

haye haye yo yo haye haye yo yo
kaale dhan se tu dhanwan
ander bhare huye godam
dil me tere hai shaitan
banke baitha hai bhagwan
janta ki sarkar tere ko
kar daalegi nanga
chhod ye kala dhandha are tu ban ja banda
chhod ye kala dhandha are tu ban ja banda
ae dhan walo mar gaye bhukhe

chawal me patthar ka chura
chai me lakdi ka hai bhura
gehu me ghun maati kuda
jaldi jivan ho jaye budha
janta ke jivan se khele
aankho wala andha
chhod ye kala dhandha are tu ban ja banda
chhod ye kala dhandha are tu ban ja banda
ae dhan walo mar gaye bhukhe

No bread, no rice, no ghee, no sugar's grace,
No bread, no rice, no ghee, no sweetness's trace.
Oh, woe, woe, oh, woe, woe,
Oh, woe, woe, oh, woe, woe,
Oh, woe, woe, oh, woe, woe,
Oh, woe, woe, oh, woe, woe.
The wealthy ones, they starve and die,
The children of the land.
Black fortune's trade, a poisoned lie,
That steals from every hand.
Give up this dark affair, become a man anew,
Give up this dark affair, and see what's true.
The wealthy ones, they starve and die.

Oh, woe, woe, oh, woe, woe,
Oh, woe, woe, oh, woe, woe,
Oh, woe, woe, oh, woe, woe,
Oh, woe, woe, oh, woe, woe.
With black wealth, you are rich in store,
Warehouses overflowing.
In your heart, the demons roar,
While as a god you're showing.
The people's government will surely
Strip you bare and show you wrong.
Give up this dark affair, become a man,
Give up this dark affair, and stand.
The wealthy ones, they starve and die.

In rice, the grit of stone concealed,
In tea, the wood is ground.
In wheat, the rot, the earth revealed,
Where life's true worth is drowned.
They toy with lives of those they meet,
The blind who claim to see.
Give up this dark affair, be whole and sweet,
Give up this dark affair, and be.
The wealthy ones, they starve and die.
