kaise tum thanedar aaye bin hathiyar
kaise tum thanedar aaye bin hathiyar bolo ji bolo sarkar
kaise tum thanedar aaye bin hathiyar bolo ji bolo sarkar
ek tanha ladki luti sari duniya dekhti rahi
kaise tum thanedar aaye bin hathiyar
bolo ji bolo sarkar bolo ji bolo sarkar

tum kaha ja rahe ho aao na aao na
aise na jhatko tum baiya gori gori
ek to chori phir uspe sina jori
aise na jhatko tum baiya gori gori
ek to chori phir uspe sina jori
kahli hatho chale aaye banduk nahi laye
kaise sambhaloge ghar bare chandi gayi
na sona gaya dil ka anmol khilona gaya
kaise tum thanedar aaye bin hathiyar
bolo ji bolo sarkar bolo ji bolo sarkar

picha chudate ho kaise humdard ho
ladki se darte ho kaise tum mard ho
picha chudate ho kaise humdard ho
ladki se darte ho kaise tum mard ho
lute na jawani koi karo meharbani koi
aaj ruk jao banke pharedar nind bhi gayi chain wo gaya
kya hoga churake tu nain jo gaya
kaise tum thanedar aaye bin hathiyar bolo ji bolo sarkar
ek tanha ladki luti sari duniya dekhti rahi
kaise tum thanedar aaye bin hathiyar
bolo ji bolo sarkar bolo ji bolo sarkar

How could you, Constable, arrive unarmed?
How could you, Constable, arrive unarmed? Tell us, O Government, tell us!
How could you, Constable, arrive unarmed? Tell us, O Government, tell us!
A lone girl plundered, while the world just watched.
How could you, Constable, arrive unarmed?
Tell us, O Government, tell us, O Government!

Where are you going? Come back, come back!
Don't you shake your fair arms so!
The theft, and then the arrogance, too!
Don't you shake your fair arms so!
The theft, and then the arrogance, too!
Empty-handed you came, no gun you did bring.
How will you guard the home? Silver is gone.
Nor gold, but the heart's priceless toy is gone.
How could you, Constable, arrive unarmed?
Tell us, O Government, tell us, O Government!

You flee the scene, how can you be a friend?
Afraid of a girl? How can you be a man?
You flee the scene, how can you be a friend?
Afraid of a girl? How can you be a man?
Her youth wasn't plundered, someone was kind.
Stay today, be a guardian! Sleep is lost, peace is lost.
What will be, stealing the eyes, that has gone?
How could you, Constable, arrive unarmed? Tell us, O Government, tell us!
A lone girl plundered, while the world just watched.
How could you, Constable, arrive unarmed?
Tell us, O Government, tell us, O Government!
