khul gaya nasib dekho sala, ban gaya angrej gaav vala

Luck unfurled, a twist of fate,
A villager, now anglicized, elate.
Luck unfurled, a twist of fate,

Behold, my brother, the tie's bright hue,
Behold, my brother, the tie's bright hue,
Forsaking dhoti, kurta gone,
In suit and boot, I now am drawn.

I arrived, adorned, a spectacle,
As if from lands of Japan I fell.
I walked these paths, a sight to see,
With such grandeur, wild and free.
A costly watch upon my wrist,
A staff of fortune, heaven-kissed.
Behold, my brother, the tie's bright hue,
Forsaking dhoti, kurta gone,
In suit and boot, I now am drawn.
Luck unfurled, a twist of fate,
A villager, now anglicized, elate.

This form of mine, it has transformed,
My style, it is newly warmed.
Mad with joy, my heart takes flight,
A smile upon my lips takes light.
Lost in revelry, a wondrous thing,
A marvel that the heavens sing.
Behold, my brother, the tie's bright hue,
Forsaking dhoti, kurta gone,
In suit and boot, I now am drawn.

A villager, now anglicized, elate.
