kal ka raja aaj bikhari dekho samay ki shan
kal ka raja aaj bikhari dekho samay ki shan
baba samay bada balwan samay bada balwan
baba samay bada balwan kal ka raja aaj bikhari
dekho samay ki shan baba samay bada balwan
samay bada balwan baba samay bada balwan

jhuth daga chal or kapat ke jal biche hai raho me
daya dharam ko chhod ke dunia mast hai aaj gunaho me
sach or jhuth parakhne wali sach or jhuth parakhne wali
aankhe hai hairan aankhe hai hairan
baba samay bada balwan samay bada balwan
baba samay bada balwan

dhan daulat ka nahi bharosha cheej ye aani jani hai
hamko bhi kuchh dete jao sari dunia pani hai
kal aayega kam tumhare kal aayega kam tumhare
aaj karo kuch dan aaj karo kuch dan
baba samay bada balwan samay bada balwan
baba samay bada balwan samay bada balwan
baba samay bada balwan

The king of yesterday, a beggar now, behold time's decree,
The king of yesterday, a beggar now, time's majesty.
Oh, Father Time, so very strong, so powerful and free,
Oh, Father Time, so very strong, time's powerful decree.
The king of yesterday, a beggar now, behold time's decree,
Oh, Father Time, so very strong, time's powerful decree.
Time's majesty, oh Father Time, time's powerful decree.

Falsehood, deceit, and treachery, a snare upon the way,
Mercy and Dharma forsaken, the world in sin does sway.
The eyes that judge truth's gentle light, the eyes that judge truth's light,
Are lost in disarray, are lost in disarray.
Oh, Father Time, so very strong, time's powerful decree,
Oh, Father Time, so very strong, time's powerful decree.

Wealth and fortune, they're not steadfast, fleeting are they all,
Give to us also, as the world shall surely fall,
Tomorrow they will be of use, tomorrow they will be,
Give alms today, give alms today.
Oh, Father Time, so very strong, time's powerful decree,
Oh, Father Time, so very strong, time's powerful decree.
Time's majesty, oh Father Time, time's powerful decree.
