andher nagri chaupat raja ho
andher nagri chaupat raja
andher nagri chaupat raja
jis mol bhaaji uss mol khaaja
uss mol khaaja ho
andher nagri chaupat raja
andher nagri chaupat raja

raja ji ne kuch haathi aur kuch ghode hain paale
inhe na koi fikr, na chinta
ye hain mehlon waale, inke raaj mein pad gaye hamko
apni jaan ke laale
dono haatho lut rahe hain kaale dhandho waale
jis mol bhaaji uss mol khaaja
uss mol khaaja ho
andher nagri chaupat raja
andher nagri chaupat raja

kasht na ho to shrimaan ji arz suno ik mori
kaun nagar se aaye ho tum, kaun jaat hai tori
inka dosh na poochho bhaiyaa, inki jaat na poochho
kaise katate hain in logon ke din raat na poochho
kisi kaum ya kisi desh ke ho ye rahne waale
in jaiso ki nasl ek hai gore ho ya kaale
baahar se hain roop alag par andar se ik jaisaa
jaat hai sona, gotr hai chaandi, dharm hai inka paisa
hoy dharm hai inka paisa hoy dharm hai inka paisa
hoy dharm hai tera paisa, arre chhup
mhaari to suno bhai, mhaari to suno
kaalo dhandho jo karto ho uska satyanash
main hoon saare jag ka sewak main hoon sabka daas
daam dekar paani lelo jisko lagi ho pyaas
main na puri talu to bolo khaaoge kaai ghaas
har maal sasta, har maal taaza, har maal taaza
bhag yaha se aur kisi pe daal ye apna jaal
jaan chuke pahchan chuke hum har ik teri chal
paani bechke punya kamaaye waah re maa ke laal
andher nagri chaupat raja, andher nagri chaupat raja

suno hamaari baat o bandhu chhodo ye taqraar
iss sansaar mein har vastu ka hota hai vyapaar
aata daal aur chaawal beche sare sahukaar
jadi buiyan, sharbat beche vaidh hakim khtaar
bal beche balwaan jagat me, sar beche sardaar
aman ki rakshak kaume beche, zehreele hathiyaar
ha to phir maine paani becha to kyu itni hahakaar
maine paani becha to kyu hai itni hahakaar

A kingdom of shadows, a king gone astray,
A kingdom of shadows, where truth fades away.
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish sway,
Where greens and the feasts are priced the same day.
Priced the same day, oh, the madness's play,
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish sway.
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish sway.

The king keeps his elephants, horses so grand,
No worry they know, no command to withstand.
Within gilded walls, they hold court in the land,
While we struggle for breath, a life barely planned.
They plunder with both hands, the dark deals they've spanned,
Where greens and the feasts are priced the same sand.
Priced the same sand, oh, the madness's demand,
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish hand.
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish hand.

If sorrow allows, kind sir, hear my plea,
From what city do you come? Your caste, tell to me.
Ask not of their faults, nor their lineage's key,
How they spend their nights, their days, set them free.
From any clan, any land, they decree,
Their breed is one, be they white or agree.
Outward forms differ, but the core you'll see,
Gold is their caste, silver their decree,
Their faith is money, eternally.
Their faith is money, eternally.
Their faith is your money, now flee!
Listen to me, brother, listen and see.
The dark deals you weave, may they forever be
cursed,
I am servant of all, the whole world immersed.
Buy water if you're thirsty, be first.
If I don't fry bread, will you eat grass?
Every good cheap, every good so fresh,
Every good so fresh, now you can't be dressed.
Flee from here, cast your net on someone else's crest,
We've seen your game, we know every test.
Selling water for profit, a noble quest?
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish crest,
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish crest.

Hear our word, friend, abandon this strife,
In this world, all things find their price of life.
Flour, lentils, and rice, the merchants' rife,
Herbs, syrups, all sold, cutting their knife.
The strong sell their strength, the leaders their strife,
Nations sell peace, weapons of poisoned life.
If I sell water, why the mournful cry?
If I sell water, why the mournful cry?
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish try,
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish cry.
Where greens and the feasts, are priced the same bye,
Priced the same bye, oh, the madness's eye,
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish lie.
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish lie.
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish sigh,
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish sigh.
A kingdom of shadows, a king's foolish die.
