are hamka kaa samjhat ho, kaa kaha kaa samajhat ho
hamka aisa waisa naa samjho ham bade kam kee chiz
hamka aisa waisa naa samjho ham bade kam kee chiz
o babu bade kam kee chiz kaun bura hai kaun bhala hai
kaun bura hai kaun bhala hai hamka hai tamiz
hamka aisa waisa naa samjho ham bade kam kee chiz
o babu bade kam kee chiz

are ek din ham gaye jungle ma are ek din ham gaye jungle ma
uhan mil gaye hamka daku sasura mil gaye hamka daku
kisike hath ma barcha bhala kisike hath ma chaku
hamne puchha o hamne puchha kitne ho tum tab wo
bole das ham kaha bas, kaa kaha bas
aisa hath jamaya do gaj dharti ma gaye dhas dhas dhas
hamka aisa waisa naa samjho ham bade kam kee chiz
hamka aisa waisa naa samjho ham bade kam kee chiz
o babu bade kam kee chiz

bade pyar se bade pyar se usne hamka diya gulabi phul
ham kaha ee kaa det ho hamka, phul kaa det ho phul
hath jodkar phir woh boli ho gayi hamse bhul bhul bhul
hamka aisa waisa naa samjho ham bade kam kee chiz
are babua bade kam kee chiz kaun bura hai kaun bhala hai
kaun bura hai kaun bhala hai hamka hai tamiz
hamka aisa waisa naa samjho ham bade kam kee chiz
o babu bade kam kee chiz

Do you fathom me, do you grasp my words?
Do not mistake me, I am a thing of worth.
Do not mistake me, I am a thing of worth,
Oh, friend, a thing of worth.
Who is wicked, who is good, I possess discernment.
Do not mistake me, I am a thing of worth,
Oh, friend, a thing of worth.

One day I wandered in the jungle's deep,
Where bandits met, their shadows did creep.
Some held spears, others sharp knives did wield.
I asked them, "How many are you on this field?"
They said, "Ten." I said, "Enough!"
Such a blow, two yards they fell in the rough.
Do not mistake me, I am a thing of worth.
Do not mistake me, I am a thing of worth,
Oh, friend, a thing of worth.

One day, a maiden from the city came,
And seeing my vibrant youth, her heart aflame,
Her heart aflame.
With great affection, she gave a rose to me.
I asked, "What is this you give to me, this flower you see?"
With hands clasped, she pleaded, "I made a blunder, you see, you see, you see."
Do not mistake me, I am a thing of worth.
Oh, friend, a thing of worth.
Who is wicked, who is good, I possess discernment.
Do not mistake me, I am a thing of worth,
Oh, friend, a thing of worth.
