o meri sun le dindayal karde mujhko malamal
meri latri nikal murli wale nandlal
o meri sun le dindayal karde mujhko malamal
meri latri nikal murli wale nandlal
meri sun le dindayal

sota hu futpath pe pas nahi hai bistar
he parbhu ji
sota hu footpath pe pas nahi hai bistar
biwi bangala car dilale, jab de prime minister
mai to ho mai to karu bukh hadtal
tere dar pe ho nandlal, meri latri nikal
murli wale nandlal, meri sun le dindayal

hariyana ma mahsur udisa ya nikle madras
hariyana ma mahsur udisa ya nikle madras
dilli u p ki rahti hau mujhko hardam aas
ho firta hu ho firta hu dar dar behal
ud gaye mere sar ke bal, meri latri nikal
murli wale nandlal, meri sun le dindayal

panch lakh ki aaye latri, fir dhundhu gharwali
panch lakh ki aaye latri, fir dhundhu gharwali
nakti chapti moti patli, ho gori ya kali
ho aisa ho aisa chakkar chala jagpal
mai bhu chalu seth ki chal
o meri sun le dindayal karde mujhko malamal
meri latri nikal murli wale nandlal
murliwale nandlal, murliwale nandlal

Oh, listen to my plea, Compassionate One, make me wealthy,
Draw the winning ticket, Krishna of the flute, Nandlal,
Oh, listen to my plea, Compassionate One, make me wealthy,
Draw the winning ticket, Krishna of the flute, Nandlal,
Hear my prayer, O Merciful.

I sleep on the pavement, no bed to call my own,
Oh, Lord of all,
I sleep on the pavement, no bed to call my own,
Give me wife, mansion, car, Prime Minister on my throne,
I swear, I swear, I will fast in the name of your grace,
At your door, O Nandlal, draw the winning ticket,
Krishna of the flute, Nandlal, hear my prayer, Compassionate One.

From Haryana, Mysore, Orissa, or Madras, let fortune bloom,
From Haryana, Mysore, Orissa, or Madras, let fortune bloom,
Delhi, UP, their dreams always fill my room,
I wander, I wander, lost in despair,
My hair is gone, bare scalp to stare, draw the winning ticket,
Krishna of the flute, Nandlal, hear my prayer, Compassionate One.

If five lakhs I win, a wife I will then seek,
If five lakhs I win, a wife I will then seek,
Whether she’s snub-nosed, plump, thin, fair, or meek,
This way, this way, Jagpal's fate will take flight,
I’ll walk as a wealthy merchant, filled with light,
Oh, listen to my plea, Compassionate One, make me wealthy,
Draw the winning ticket, Krishna of the flute, Nandlal,
Krishna of the flute, Nandlal, Krishna of the flute, Nandlal.
