chakku chhuriya tez kara lo
chakku chhuriya tez kara lo
chakku chhuriya tez kara lo
main to rakhu aisi dhaar
ki chakku ban jaye talvaar
ki dekho rakhva ke ek bar
na pichhe pachhtana sarkar
ye jamana hain teji ka jamana
chakku chhuriya tez kara lo

chakku chahe bhi ho kaisa
ho chakku chahe bhi ho kaisa
pathar pe ghisu main aisa
chakku chamkega chaandi jaisa
majuri leti hu main das paisa
majuri leti hu main das paisa
wo jivan yaar bina kuchh naahi
dil jo pyar bina kuchh naahi
nar jo naar bina kuchh naahi
chakku dhaar bina kuchh naahi
jiske ghar me tej ho chaku
uske ghar me ghuse na daku
ho uske ghar me ghuse na daku
jiske ghar me tej ho chaku
daku choro se ghar ko bachana
chakku chhuriya tez kara lo
chakku chhuriya tez kara lo
main to rakhu aisi dhaar
ki chakku ban jaye talvaar
ki dekho rakhva ke ek bar
na pichhe pachhtana sarkar
ye jamana hain teji ka jamana
chakku chhuriya tez kara lo

mile sadak pe koi mawaali
ho mile sadak pe koi mawaali
daaru pee ke jo de de tumhe gaali
chaaku tej karega rakhwali
is baat pe baccho maaro tali
ho is baat pe baccho maaro tali
kal ek bola mujhko heer
teri julfe hain janjir
teri do ankho ke teer
ki mera gaye kaleja chir

maine chhuri dikhai jhat se
maine chhuri dikhai jhat se
bola behanji mujhko falet se
bola behanji mujhko fat se
tum raakhi ke din ghar aana
chakku chhuriya tez kara lo
chakku chhuriya tez kara lo
main to rakhu aisi dhaar
ki chakku ban jaye talvaar
ki dekho rakhva ke ek bar
na pichhe pachhtana sarkar
ye jamana hain teji ka jamana
chakku chhuriya tez kara lo
chakku chhuriya tez kara lo

Sharpen the knives, hone the blades,
Sharpen the knives, hone the blades,
Sharpen the knives, hone the blades,
I'll give them an edge so keen,
That a knife becomes a sword unseen,
See them sharpened, just once, I beseech,
Lest regret your heart will breach.
This is an age of swift design,
Sharpen the knives, and make them shine.

Though the knife may be of any kind,
Though the knife may be of any kind,
Upon the stone, I'll grind and bind,
The knife will gleam, a silver find,
For ten paisa, my work assigned,
For ten paisa, my labor aligned.
Life, my friends, is naught without,
The heart without love, is surely in doubt,
A man without a woman, without a bout,
A knife without its edge, cannot rout.
Where the knife is sharp and bright,
Robbers and thieves will take no flight,
Oh, robbers and thieves will take no flight,
Where the knife is sharp and bright,
Protect your home, from shadows of night,
Sharpen the knives, with all your might.
Sharpen the knives, hone the blades,
I'll give them an edge so keen,
That a knife becomes a sword unseen,
See them sharpened, just once, I beseech,
Lest regret your heart will breach.
This is an age of swift design,
Sharpen the knives, and make them shine.

If on the road, a ruffian you meet,
If on the road, a ruffian you meet,
Drunk on spirits, insults replete,
The sharpened knife, your defense will greet,
For this, my children, clap your feet,
Oh, for this, my children, clap your feet.
Yesterday, one called me a deer,
Your locks are chains, it is clear,
Your eyes, two arrows, filled with fear,
And my heart, they did tear.

I showed my knife, in a flash so fleet,
I showed my knife, in a flash so fleet,
He pleaded, "Sister, my defeat!"
He pleaded, "Sister, my defeat!"
"Come to my home, on the day of the tie,"
Sharpen the knives, before you die,
Sharpen the knives, hone the blades,
I'll give them an edge so keen,
That a knife becomes a sword unseen,
See them sharpened, just once, I beseech,
Lest regret your heart will breach.
This is an age of swift design,
Sharpen the knives, and make them shine.
Sharpen the knives, hone the blades.
