insaano ne paise ke liye aapas ka pyaar mitaa daala
insaano ne paise ke liye aapas ka pyaar mitaa daala
hanste baste ghar phunk diye dharti ko nark bana daala

mitti se nikala sone ko, sone se banaae mahal magar
mitti se nikala sone ko, sone se banaae mahal magar
jajbaato ke naazuk rishte ko mitti ke tale dafna daala
insaano ne paise ke liye aapas ka pyaar mitaa daala

din aur dharam ko haar diyaa neki ko badi par vaar diya
din aur dharam ko haar diyaa neki ko badi par vaar diya
mandir masjid aur girjo ko baiko ki bhet chadha daala

pyaar apne jagah khud daulat hai
ye baat naa samajhi insaa
pyaar apne jagah khud daulat hai
ye baat naa samajhi insaa
kudrat ki banaai daulat kaa sikko me mol laga daala
insaano ne paise ke liye aapas ka pyaar mitaa daala

For coin, the love of kin they've slain,
For coin, the love of kin they've slain,
And homes of laughter, now in flame, a hell on earth they've lain.

From earth they drew the golden gleam, built castles grand and tall,
From earth they drew the golden gleam, built castles grand and tall,
But buried deep, the tender dream, where loving whispers fall.
For coin, the love of kin they've slain.

Faith and creed, they cast aside, good's gentle light betrayed,
Faith and creed, they cast aside, good's gentle light betrayed,
To banks they gave the hallowed tide, where temples used to played.

Love, in itself, a wealth untold,
This truth the human heart forgot,
Love, in itself, a wealth untold,
This truth the human heart forgot,
And nature's gold, in coin they sold, a price upon its lot.
For coin, the love of kin they've slain.
