yeh sab mann ke bhi hain kaale
yeh sab dhan ke bhi hain kaale
kya baat hai bhaiyya kya baat hai
mere ghar mein hi rehte hain mera ghar lootne wale
dil ki baat keh di hai bhaiyya dil ki baat
jo cheezein junglon ki hai unhe jungle mein rehna tha
woh ab dilli mein rehte hain jihne chambal mein rehna tha
jihne chambal mein rehna tha
nikaalo nikaalo inn bayimaano ko

gali gali chor hai gali gali chor hai
corruption corruption corruption ka shor hai
choron ka zor hai choron ka zor hai
choron ka daur hai choron ka daur hai
choron se bandhi hui choron ki dor hai
choron se bandhi hui choron ki dor hai
gali gali chor hai gali gali chor hai
abhey minyan sacchi baat boli hai tune

corruption ne likhi hai saari kahani
corruption ne likhi hai saari kahani
bina ghoos khori na bijli na paani
bina ghoos khori na bijli na paani
yahan saans lene ki keemat lagey gi
gharon se nikalte hi rishwat lagey gi
yahan aam logon ka hai yeh mukadder
na kuch ghar ke baahar na kuch ghar ke andar
na kuch ghar ke baahar na kuch ghar ke andar
na nehru ka sapna salamat raha hai
na gandhi ka charkha salamat raha hai
aadalat kachehri yeh vardi yeh thaane
chalate hain rishwat ke sab kaarkhaane sab kaarkhaane
disha koi bhi ho looteron ka zor hai
disha koi bhi ho looteron ka zor hai
gali gali chor hai gali gali chor hai

yeh topi yeh dhoti yeh kurte pajame yeh kurte pajame
sab inke natak hai sab inke dramein
sab inke dramein sab inke dramein
koi inn se keh de garebaan mein jaanke
dua hai ke khul jaaye dilli ki aankhein
ladaayi abhi humko rakhni hai jaari
hai azaadi ab tak adhoori hamari adhoori hamari
siyaasi looteron ka kaisa yeh daur
siyaasi looteron ka kaisa yeh daur
gali gali chor hai gali gali chor hai
gali gali chor hai gali gali chor hai

uljhan hai yeh corruption dushamn hai yeh corruption
apni aayodha mein raavan hai yeh corruption
rail ki patriyon pe daude hai yeh corruption
sacchiayion ke sheeshe todhe hai yeh corruption
jaane kahan se aaya kisne ise bulaya
kheton mein apni aakhir yeh zehar kyun ugaya
koi haqeem laayo koi dawa pe laayo
habeez ko baandho iss booth ko baandho

inn brashtachaariyon ko dhan ke pujaariyon ko
pakad ke inn ko jail mein daalo
desh ko apne inn se bacha lo desh ko apne inn se bacha lo
desh ko apne inn se bacha lo gali gali chor hai gali gali chor hai
corruption corruption corruption ka shor hai

The shadows of the mind, they are also dark,
What's the matter, brother, what's the spark?
In my own house, they dwell, those who rob,
The heart's truth spoken, brother, a heart's sob.

Those things of the forest, to the wilds they did belong,
Now they reside in Delhi, where Chambal's dust did throng.
Where Chambal's winds should blow,
Cast out, cast out, these thieves we know!

In every lane, a thief, in every street, a rogue,
Corruption, corruption, the echoing plague.
The thieves' power swells, the thieves' might,
The thieves' age reigns, in endless night.
Bound by a thread, the thieves entwine,
In every lane, a thief, in every street, a crime.
You spoke the truth, my friend, a truth so deep.

Corruption's hand has penned this tale,
No power, no water, without a bribe's trail.
Even breath, a price to pay,
A toll demanded, come what may.
The common folk, their fate is cast,
Nothing outside, nor within, does last.
Nehru's dream, it could not survive,
Gandhi's spinning wheel, no longer thrive.
Courts, police, the uniform's guise,
All fueled by bribes, before our eyes.
No matter the course, the looters' command,
In every lane, a thief, across the land.

These caps, these dhotis, these kurtas so grand,
All their theatrics, a charade planned.
Someone, let them look within their souls,
Pray Delhi's eyes may now unroll.
The fight we must continue, with fervent desire,
Freedom's promise, still unfulfilled, higher, higher.
The political looters, their grip so bold,
In every lane, a thief, the story told.

Entanglement of corruption, a foe to embrace,
Ravana in our Ayodhya, defiling grace.
On railway tracks, this corruption does run,
Shattering the mirrors of truth, undone.
From where did it come, who did it call?
Why in our fields, this poison did fall?
Bring a healer, a remedy to find,
Bind Habiz, bind this specter of all kind.

These corrupt ones, these worshippers of wealth,
Seize them, lock them in a cell of stealth.
Save our nation, from their endless greed,
Save our nation, sow a different seed.
Corruption, corruption, the echoing cry,
