hum garibo ne tera raz nahi hai khola
seth ki jeb me paise ne
seth ki jeb me paise ne
chhanak kar ye bola, kya bola
isha pir na musa pir
sabse bada hai paisa pir
isha pir na musa pir
sabse bada hai paisa pir
are sabse bada hai paisa pir
sabse bada hai paisa pir
isha pir na musa pir
sabse bada hai paisa pir
isha pir na musa pir
sabse bada hai paisa pir

yaro jab maine dharam kante me sabko tola
sab to chup the magar, sab to chup the magar
dil ne tadap kar bola, kya bola
rupaiya pir na paisa pir
sabse bada hai isha pir
rupaiya pir na paisa pir
sabse bada hai isha pir
sabse bada hai paisa pir
sabse bada hai musa pir
isha pir na musa pir
sabse bada hai paisa pir
isha pir na musa pir
sabse bada hai paisa pir

paisa pyara pandit ji ko, paisa pyara mulla ko
paisa pyara pandit ji ko, paisa pyara mulla ko
arey paisa dekar neki kharido, daan hai pyara allah ko
paise me hai lakho burai, aag isi ne sari lagai
paisa jad hai har jhagde ki, isne ladaye bhai bhai
o yaar pachhtayega, yaar pachhtayega
paise ki burai mat kar, tu nahi janta paise ka hai
ajab chakkar chakkar, bhai kya hai arey bhai kya hai
paisa ho to mil jati hai hir
rupaiya pir na paisa pir, sabse bada hai isha pir
isha pir na musa pir, sabse bada hai paisa pir

paisa aurat aur zamin, duniya ke hai dushman tin
seth ko dar hai income tax ka
chain se soye gangaari, o paisa gora hai ya kala
koi nahi ye puchhne wala, master chabi paisa hi hai
khol raha hai sabka tala

o paise wali hai to kali bhi lage hai gori
sone chandi me to gudiya bhi lage hai chhori, chhori
paisa ho to arey paisa ho to kani ka bhi lag jata hai tir
rupaiya pir na paisa pir, sabse bada hai isha pir
isha pir na musa pir, sabse bada hai paisa pir

paisa nach nachata hai, paisa git sunata hai
packet me agar dekh le paisa, chand zami par aata hai
sare kadke ullu hai, ullu hai
budhiman bhi buddhu hai, buddhu hai
paise ki hai ijjat warna lala ji bhi lallu hai
dosto paise ko ek jarurat jano
isse badh jaye to ho jati hai musibat mano
sadhu pe bhi kar de jadu paise me hai wo taasir
isha pir na musa pir, sabse bada hai paisa pir
rupaiya pir na paisa pir, sabse bada hai isha pir
sabse bada hai isha pir, sabse bada hai musa pir
isha pir na musa pir, sabse bada hai paisa pir
rupaiya pir na paisa pir, sabse bada hai isha pir
sabse bada hai paise pir, sabse bada hai isha pir
sabse bada hai paise pir, sabse bada hai musa pir

We, the poor, have not unveiled your reign,
From the merchant's purse, the coins did gleam,
And in their clink, a voice did keen,
What did they say? Listen and deem:

Neither Christ, nor Moses, the greatest guide,
Is wealth itself, in its gilded stride.
Neither Christ, nor Moses, the greatest guide,
Is wealth itself, where all hopes reside.
Oh, the greatest guide is wealth's command,
The greatest guide, across the land.
Neither Christ, nor Moses, the greatest guide,
Is wealth itself, where all sorrows hide.
Neither Christ, nor Moses, the greatest guide,
Is wealth itself, where all desires ride.

Friends, when I weighed all in faith's balance,
All were silent, in a trance,
But my heart, it did cry and glance,
What did it say? A painful dance:

Not the coin, nor wealth's allure,
But Christ himself, forever pure.
Not the coin, nor wealth's allure,
But Christ himself, our hearts to secure.
The greatest guide is wealth's domain,
The greatest guide, it does ordain.
Neither Christ, nor Moses, the greatest guide,
Is wealth itself, where shadows hide.

Wealth is loved by the priest's decree,
Wealth adored by the mullah, you see.
Buy virtue with riches, a pious spree,
Charity pleases, Allah's decree.
In wealth resides a million flaws,
It ignites the fires, breaks all laws.
Wealth is the root of every fight,
It makes brothers clash in endless night.
Oh friend, you will regret, you'll see,
Do not speak ill of wealth's decree,
You know not wealth's strange design,
A puzzling twist, what is it, define?
If wealth is yours, a beloved you'll find,
Not the coin, nor wealth's allure,
But Christ himself, forever pure.
Neither Christ, nor Moses, the greatest guide,
Is wealth itself, where sorrows reside.

Wealth, women, and land, the world's harsh decree,
The merchant fears taxes, you see.
Gangar sleeps sound, worry-free,
Oh, is wealth white or black to be?
No one asks, it's plain to see,
Money's the key, unlocking the plea.

If wealth is yours, a dark woman will glow,
In gold and silver, even dolls will show,
With wealth, even the blind will know,
Not the coin, nor wealth's allure,
But Christ himself, forever pure.
Neither Christ, nor Moses, the greatest guide,
Is wealth itself, where desires ride.

Wealth dances, wealth sings a song,
If you see wealth, where you belong,
The moon descends, where you are strong.
All the rich are fools, it is so,
The wise are fools, as we know,
Respect for wealth, or you're a laughing show.
Friends, know wealth as a need,
If it grows beyond, a disaster indeed.
It can bewitch a saint, in its magic seed.
Neither Christ, nor Moses, the greatest guide,
Is wealth itself, where all hopes abide.
Not the coin, nor wealth's allure,
But Christ himself, forever pure.
The greatest guide is wealth's command,
The greatest guide, across the land.
