ye bambai shehar ka bada nam hai par gadbad gutale ka
har kam hai ye bambai shehar ka bada nam hai
par gadbad gutale ka har kam hai
andho ko sujhe yaha dur ki aankh valo ko milta nahi rasta
sunta nahi koi majbur ki kisi ko kisi se nahi vasta
suno bhiya mera ye paygam hai suno bhiya mera ye paygam hai
bambai shehar ka bada nam hai par gadbad gutale ka
har kam hai ye bambai shehar ka bada nam hai

par gadbad gutale ka har kam hai aalu ko bole batata yaha
namste ko kahte hai tata yaha amrud se bhi anda bda
yaha huye hai naye nam payda ye jisko bulaye si si si
hairat ka yaro har ek kam hai bambai shehar ka
bada nam hai par gadbad gutale ka har kam hai
ye bambai shehar ka bada nam hai par gadbad gutale ka
har kam hai kahi rah bhaiya kahi bebi nanda
satte ki manin hai filmo ka dhanda jo lag jaye number

ban jaye banda jo number na aaya to mangoge chanda
jara bachke rahna suno mera kahna
agar meri mano bura kam hai bambai shehar ka
bada nam hai par gadbad gutale ka har kam hai
ye bambai shehar ka bada nam hai par gadbad gutale ka
har kam hai bijli se chalti yaha gadiya
taramo baso ka ajab sa hai khel
jo kismat se inme jagha mil bhi jaye
to dhake pe dhaka nikal jaye tel badi bhid hai bada shor hai
magar kar valo ko aaram hai bambai shehar ka bada nam hai
par gadbad gutale ka har kam hai ye bambai shehar ka
bada nam hai par gadbad gutale ka har kam hai

ye barli ka naka ye dadr ka circal yaha ka dikhaye tume ek ltka
divano ki toli hasino ki halchal nahi hai sharifo ko koi bhi khatka
nadan hai vo hairan hai jo hosiyar hai vo nakam hai
bambai shehar ka bada nam hai par gadbad gutale ka har kam hai
ye bambai shehar ka bada nam hai par
gadbad gutale ka bada kam hai
jaha dekhta hu jidhar dekhta hu mai ladki ko ladka bana dekhta hu
aye mere bhagwan ye kya dekhta hu jamane ki ulti ada dekhta hu
ye bharat ki beti haya khoke baithi ab inko bachana tera kam hai
bambai shehar ka bada nam hai par gadbad gutale ka
har kam hai ye bambai shehar ka bada nam hai
par gadbad gutale ka har kam hai

A city of myth, a Mumbai named,
Yet chaos and deceit are here proclaimed.
Mumbai's grandeur, a gilded facade,
Where shadows dance, and truths are marred.

The blind see not, the keenest eye astray,
The helpless voices find no listening day.
No bond, no tie, each soul alone it seems,
Hear my lament, my heart's desperate dreams.

A city of myth, a Mumbai named,
Yet chaos and deceit are here proclaimed.
Potato is "batata," a twisted tongue,
"Tata" replaces greetings, where wrong is sung.
Guava's shadow, an egg's expanse,
New titles bloom in a bewildering dance.
The "CCC" call, a perplexing art,
Mumbai's enigma, a fractured heart.

A city of myth, a Mumbai named,
Yet chaos and deceit are here proclaimed.
Brother's "baby," Nanda's name entwined,
Films a gamble, fortune to find.
Awake, a hero, a number's grace,
Failure's toll, a begging face.
Beware, I plead, heed my words true,
Mumbai's darkness, a haunting view.

A city of myth, a Mumbai named,
Yet chaos and deceit are here proclaimed.
Electric trains, a steel-wheeled race,
Buses and taxis, an odd embrace.
If fortune smiles, and a seat you find,
Expect the crush, the jostle of mankind.
A throng, a roar, a restless tide,
But those in power, find comfort inside.

A city of myth, a Mumbai named,
Yet chaos and deceit are here proclaimed.
Worli's gateway, Dadar's circle's sway,
A glimpse of madness, come what may.
A throng of lovers, a frenzied chase,
The righteous fear, find no resting place.
The foolish lost, the wise resigned,
Mumbai's sorrow, a truth you'll find.

A city of myth, a Mumbai named,
Yet chaos and deceit are here proclaimed.
Where I gaze, where my vision roams,
Girls transformed, boys taking form.
O, God above, what sight is this?
The world inverted, a maddening kiss.
India's daughters, modesty shed,
Your sacred duty, to mend instead.

A city of myth, a Mumbai named,
Yet chaos and deceit are here proclaimed.
