khol ke aankhe chalo seth ji badal gaya hai jamana
khol ke aankhe chalo seth ji badal gaya hai jamana
are ab sabko apna apna padega bhoj uthana
khol ke aankhe chalo seth ji badal gaya hai jamana

hundi parcha char take ka sudh bhulana hoga
are na bhule to ticket kata ke delhi jana hoga
hath ki ghadi paav ka pehiya sikh lo ab to chalana
khol ke aankhe chalo seth ji badal gaya hai jamana
ab to sabko apna apna padega boj uthana
khol ke aankhe chalo seth ji badal gaya hai jamana

sarkkar andar chawal andar bahar bhi kuch lao
are lala ji ab desh ke dhan ko bant bant kar khao
hath ki ghadi paav ka pehiya sikh lo ab to chalana
oye khol ke aankhe chalo seth ji badal gaya hai jamana
ab to sabko apna apna padega boj uthana
khol ke aankhe chalo seth ji badal gaya hai jamana

kandhe par hal rakhne wala kehlayega yogi
are aane wale yug me ab majdur ki puja hogi
hath ki ghadi paav ka pehiya sikh lo ab to chalana
ha ha khol ke aankhe chalo seth ji badal gaya hai jamana
are ab to sabko apna apna padega bojh uthana
khol ke aankhe chalo seth ji badal gaya hai jamana
oye khol ke aankhe chalo seth ji badal gaya hai jamana
badal gaya hai jamana

Open your eyes, Merchant, the world has turned anew,
Open your eyes, Merchant, the world has turned anew,
Now each must carry burdens, their own burdens to pursue,
Open your eyes, Merchant, the world has turned anew.

Forget the paltry interest, the notes and debts you knew,
Or face a journey, a ticket to what you must accrue,
Learn to steer the cart, to walk on your own two,
Open your eyes, Merchant, the world has turned anew,
Now each must carry burdens, their own burdens to pursue,
Open your eyes, Merchant, the world has turned anew.

Within the sugar, within the rice, bring forth a harvest too,
Oh, Merchant, feast on the nation's wealth, in ways both old and new,
Learn to steer the cart, to walk on your own two,
Open your eyes, Merchant, the world has turned anew,
Now each must carry burdens, their own burdens to pursue,
Open your eyes, Merchant, the world has turned anew.

The plough upon the shoulder, will be the Yogi's guise,
In the coming age, the laborer will truly rise,
Learn to steer the cart, to walk on your own two,
Ha ha, Open your eyes, Merchant, the world has turned anew,
Now each must carry burdens, their own burdens to pursue,
Open your eyes, Merchant, the world has turned anew.
Oh, Open your eyes, Merchant, the world has turned anew,
The world has turned anew.
