This world is so round, it has so many scams,
Every street and every corner,
aplam chaplam , lara lappa (phonetics)

In seconds it's kilo, in seconds it's grams,
In seconds you'll be left, in seconds you'll be enmeshed,
agdam teegdam (phonetics) watch the show, je je je...
This world is so round, it has so many scams,

Cris & cross, curved and bent,
sweet soil and spicy spice,
Looks genuine but fake, je je je....

When comes and goes, it pains,
hide and seek, hiding hiding,
But it itself will be down and hiding,
This world is so round, it has so many scams,

It entices and calls you,
then it shows middle finger,
see how it cheats you, hey god!
First it sings jingles for you to sleep,
Then it blows the horn in your ears,
see how it cheats you, hey god!
You won't feel any jerk,
You won't hear any knocking,
It's a slap without a sound... Bro (8-9)

Are Ruk Ja Re Bande - Black Friday (2003)

just hold on, just stop yourself,

Hey human, just hold on,
Hey human, just stop yourself,
Or this nature will laugh on you... (2)

Hey, your sleeps are wounded,
Hey, your dreams are hungry,
or the changes will be torn apart... (2)

Hey human, just hold on,
Hey human, just stop yourself,
Or this nature will laugh on you... (2)

Hey, these temples are silent,
Hey, these mosques are aghast,
the prayers will get tired...
This red storm of time,
through the paths of graveyards,
hey, will walk soaked in blood...

To whom you'll say 'Unbeliever'
To whom you'll say 'Coward',
Till how long will you continue your will...

Hey human, just hold on,
Hey human, just stop yourself,
Or this nature will laugh on you...

This blind wound of yours,
Would have healed a long ago,
But now it'll be ruptured even more...

(Hats off to Piyush Mishra)

Oh world (3)
the world of bowls of soot eyes (2),
the world of colors of rainbows and vermilion (2),
the world of flowers of the sleepy wedding beds,
the world of awaken pigeons stretching,
the world of turned sleeping truth,
the world of out of control health,
the world of needs wrapped in wishes,
the world of intentions of human dreams,
oh world, oh world,
What's there, even if you win this world? (3)

the world of cluttered stories of endearment,
the world of sobbing youthfulness of sisters,
the world of relationship of Adam and Eve,
the world of uninspiring words of poets,
woh.......
the world of dreams of Galib and Momin,
the world of revolutionary poems of Majaz,
the world of Faiz, Firaq, Sahir, Makhdoom, Mir, Zauq and Daagh
What's there, even if you win this world? (3)

within moments the talks goes out,
within moments the night goes out,
the one who is left searches for the morning (sunshine),
in this burning house searches for a shelter,
save this world, with the health it is left with,
lift this falling world on your shoulder, thinking of it as your own.
save this world or it will start burning even with unimportant things,
or it will be beaten and bruised, and will be nurtured in the dark nights,
oh world....

they say the world is not this much only,
there are worlds even beyond the stars,
we are not the only ones, there are many more,
our all the decisions are taken there,
we do not have objection anywhere,
they must be correct because they are learned and wise,
but this philosophy goes bad when they say,
the learned says that he is Ishwar,
the wise says that he is Allah,
the perfect says that he is Jesus,
then the destination then tell to human that,
this is your world, so handle it the way you like,
these are some dying old lamps, the world of your dark intentions!!

Oh World!!

Sheher - Gulaal - English Translation

Sheher - Gulaal

I will tell you a story of one time,
When our city was sleeping, that miraculous night,
When from every direction it was sunset,
Jugni[1] danced with her chunar[2] and bathed with blood,
Everywhere vermilion powder was stamped,
And then the big problem came,
The night when it rained blood from sky.
The night when it rained blood in the city.

The city was showered, the earth was showered,
The whole humanity was showered,
The whole world asked when so much happening,
Bro, why our city closed their eyes and slept.
Then the city told the sleep was so deep,
The night when it rained blood from sky.
The night when it rained blood in the city.

The silence was lonely, unknown muteness,
Life takes turns violently,
So many shadows get surrounded,
cluttering their dead hairs,
The darkness moves forward like demons,
Everybody has shaken from their dance,
Somewhere is that tapping sound of shoes,
Somewhere is that burning sound of coal,
Somewhere is that muttering sound of creepers,
Somewhere is that sound of water drops from tap,
Somewhere is that blackened window,
Somewhere is that darkish chimney,
Somewhere is the group of trees moving,
Somewhere something is kept on the walls, re re...

When at the junction of deserted road some dog cries loudly,
When something happens beneath the dirty yellow light of street lamps,
When some shadow saving itself from the world gets lost in other lost shadows,
When the poles of bridges are slowly washed by hot lights of car,
Then our city sleeps, Then our city sleeps, Then our city sleeps!!!

When our city sleeps, yes, do you know what what happens?
Here dead bodies wakes up, and there the awaken dead loses his life,
Here cries an women in free hospital shaking,
the next moment in her hands there is hot lump of soft meat(new born baby)
Here a loud war is up for whores in the fast business of sex,
There, a far moving dead eyes observes the blood gushing from the wound,
But because of this, wishes are sprayed in the colorful palaces,
Because of intoxicated food, arises the deadly jokes,
See, how half naked bodies are exhibited with make-up,
When these sadist faces wishes to do some mischief...

They asks with so much surprise,
when do these things happen,
So, we tells them this all happens when,
When our city sleeps, When our city sleeps, When our city sleeps...

Aarambh - Gulaal - English Translation

Aarambh - Gulaal

The furious has started, tells the herd of heads,
Today's the time of war, roar out loud,
Your honour, wealth, majesty or even your life,
donate today on the arrow of your bow...

Who gives his life when wished, who takes the life when wished,
Is the one ultimate almighty,
This is the cry of world, this is the summary of Bhagvat Gita,
that war is the certification of warriors,
If it's a mob of the Kauravas or the wants of Pandvas,
The great is the one who can fight.
If you don't have lust to win, if you don't have possession on anybody,
kick this wasteful life
Death is not the end, so, why should we be afraid of death,
Roar it loud in the skies.

If had that expression of pity, or the choice of valor,
or that wound of defeat, you decide
Or if burning on your full javelin that victory torch,
the red colour of vermilion powder, you decide
The colour is saffron, or if the mridang is saffron,
or if saffron is the beat, you decide
The poet in whose imagination life is just a love-rhyme,
You reject that poet today,
In these wet veins, In this bubbling nerves,
give the explanation of fire-storm.

Yaaro Maula - Gulaal - English Translation

YaaroMaula (Gulaal)

Oh friends, oh god

Yes yes, we have still these in our memories,
How musical the world was,
We have colored balloons in our hand,
Our hearts are full of that event's aroma,

That was the world of dreams,
That was the world of books,
We had shaking typhoons in our breaths,
We had that pleasant high in our eyes,

That was the ground, the sky,
But we don't know that,
Where we stood, on the corner of that,
there was a darkish blind well,

Then they came like a mob,
There were daggers in their hands,
They told 'throw away these books
and handle these daggers,
This deep well, yeah this one is not blind,
In this well there is treasure,
tomorrow's world lie here,
Jump in it with your daggers,
Kill everyone who are inside,
You are tomorrow's Shivaji,
You are tomorrow's Alexander'.

We only did what they have told,
Because this is what they wished,
We don't even know why we did,
Because this is what they ordered,
Now we got the taste of blood,
tell us what should we do now,
There is no one who could tell us anything,
Just tell what should we do now...

Aabroo - Gangs of Wasseypur II - English Translation

We are filled with poison, nurtured between scorpios,

You will be punished for biting us.
Promise on honour, we will tear you,
You'll flutter like tail-chopped snake.

You offspring of honour, promise on Dropadi,
If you come in the house of Kaurava,
I am Dushasan, we will snatch you in,
You'll lose whatever honour you have.

Today listen to the words of your honour,
Where you'll go in Choli-Lehenga.
When bullets will be shot in your every hole,
Then every hole will play the flute.

Holes, Holes, Holes(6-8)...

Oooo, you god of holes, just listen to me,
When you'll come in the middle of the market,
[Alright, I came in the middle of market, now what?]
Now, you'll dance like a bull openely,
You'll spread like <bhaad> on streets...

We are sons of Duryodhan along with the disciple of Ravan,
We played in the laps of Pootna and Surpnakha,
We are such devils, we tear and eat the dogs,
We are such a archer, that people wear glasses,
We are Shakuni, we are Kans-Raaj,
We are dishonoured woman, we are cheap,
We are cannibals, we snatch and eat cattle's fodder,
We slapped on ass and started, we sold the ass,
Leave the cricket bat aside, we sold the whole game...
