mujhe jaldi se dedo khana
maine kal se nahi khaya khana
ha mujhe jaldi se dedo khana
maine kal se nahi khaya khana
bhukh lagi bhukh lagi ae yi
bhukh lagi bhukh lagi o
bhukh lagi bhukh lagi ae yi
bhukh lagi bhukh lagi o

o ho o o ho
tumne mujhe bulaya maine khane ko aaya
kapde sab dhone ko diye hai
dhoti pahan ke aaya
o tumne mujhe bulaya
mera khana nahi kyu aaya
o mera khana nahi kyu aaya
duniya khane tut padi hai
mere pet me bhukh lagi hai
mera munh bhar aaya
mera khana nahi kyu aaya

laya tha mere liye laddu kyu usko diye
jaldi se dede mujhe ye to hai mere liye
laya tha mere liye
na na kar na kar ha ha na kar
khane me laddu hai
main to jaanta hi nahi tha
aa main kya janu kya hai laddu hai
in do matwali thali me laddu hai
main kya janu kya hai laddu hai

chane ki dal dedo
chane ki dal dedo
chawal me daalni hai
mujhe banke laal dedo
khane dene wale mithai liye ja
mithai ke badle malai diye ja
khane dene wale mithai liye ja
mithai ke badle malai diye ja
bhala karne wale

ha ke thodi bhindi thodi daal
mujhko dedo banke laal
thodi khichdi de dena
thoda sa kacchumar
ke thodi bhindi thodi daal
kaise khaye hum bhaji hai garam
khao subah sham hari mirchi hare ram
koi mere ghar tak mujhe chhod de
mere haal par bas mujhe chhod de
mujhko ye khana nahi chahiye
ye pet bhara hai bhara hi rahega
sada ke liye
ye thali teri to kharab nahi kyu dhoye
kaahe ko dhoye, kaahe ko dhoye
thali re hogi teri kharab na
kaahe ko dhoye

Give me food, quickly, now,
I haven't eaten since yesterday.
Yes, quickly, give me food,
I haven't eaten since yesterday.
Hunger bites, hunger claws, oh!
Hunger bites, hunger claws, oh!
Oh, you called me, I came to eat,
Gave my clothes to be washed,
Came wearing a dhoti.
You called me, why is my food delayed?
Why is my food delayed?
The world devours in a frenzy,
My belly rumbles with hunger.
My mouth waters,
Why is my food delayed?

You brought sweets for me, why did you give them away?
Quickly, give it to me, it's for me!
You brought for me…
No, no, don't, yes, yes, don't.
There are sweets in the food,
I didn't even know,
Oh, what do I know about sweets?
There are sweets in those two swaying plates.
What do I know about sweets?

Give me chickpea lentils,
Give me chickpea lentils,
To mix with the rice.
Give me the handsome one!
You who offer food, take the sweets,
Give me cream instead of sweets.
You who offer food, take the sweets,
Give me cream instead of sweets.
You who do good…

Yes, a little okra, a little dal,
Give it to me, handsome one.
Give me a little khichdi,
A little kachumber.
A little okra, a little dal…
How do we eat hot vegetables?
Eat green chilies morning and night, Hare Ram!
Someone, drop me at my house,
Just leave me to my fate.
I don't need this food,
This belly is full, will remain full,
Forever.
This plate is yours, why wash it?
Why wash it, why wash it?
The plate will not be spoiled, no,
Why wash it?
