hum to garib hai hum to garib hai
humse garib tum ho
hum to garib hai humse garib tum ho
apno ko apna kah nahi sakte
hum ye kahe bin rah nahi sakte
itne badnasib tum ho
hum to garib hai humse garib tum ho
hum to garib hai humse garib tum ho

chota bada koi paise se nahi hota dil se hota hai
chota bada koi paise se nahi hota dil se hota hai
paise walo me koi dilwala mushkil se hota hai
chote ho ya tum log bade ho
apno se kitne dur khade ho gairo ke karib tum ho
hum to garib hai humse garib tum ho
hum to garib hai humse garib tum ho

ache bure juthe sache kitne insano ko dekha hai
ache bure juthe sache kitne insano ko dekha hai
par pahali bar ik jagah pe itne bemano ko dekha hai
chehro ka rista kam janti hu
kapdo se sabko pahchanti hu
aadmi ajib tum ho
hum to garib hai humse garib tum ho
hum to garib hai humse garib tum ho

We are the poor, we are the poor,
Poorer are you, than we.
We are the poor, poorer are you,
Who cannot claim their own,
Words unspoken, a silent moan,
So wretched, you must be.
We are the poor, poorer are you,
We are the poor, poorer are you.

Small or great, not by wealth defined,
By the heart, the true measure we find.
Amongst the rich, a heart is rare,
How distant you stand, in your selfish lair,
From your own, a world apart,
Closer to strangers, a wounded heart.
We are the poor, poorer are you,
We are the poor, poorer are you.

Good and bad, false and true,
So many faces, I've looked through.
But for the first time, in this place,
I see such deceit in every face.
The ties of faces, I scarcely know,
By their clothes, their souls I show.
Strange are you, your guise,
We are the poor, poorer are you,
We are the poor, poorer are you.
