ham ko lutne ko agaye harami log
ham ko lutne ko lag gaye
To loot us come the scum
And looting us they've begun
Lyrics: Choga Lal
ham ko lutne ko agaye harami log
ham ko lutne ko lag gaye
To loot us come the scum
And looting us they've begun
nadiyon pe bade bandh banaya
bade bade sapne duniya ko dikhaya
vikas ka bada dhong rachaye harami log
ham ko lutne ko a gaye
They have built large dams on the rivers
Shown the world grand dreams
Crafted a great pretense of development, these rogues, they've come to loot us.
ghati me polis kamp lagaye
kampon me polis ko bitaye
kampon me adhikari bitaye
Madad ka bada dong rachaye
Piknik manane ko agaye harami log
ham ko lutne ko a gaye
In the valley they've set up police camps
Posted police in those camps
Posted officials in those camps
Crafted a pretense of assistance
But they've come to have their picnic, these rogues, they've come to loot us
ghati me iskul bataye
kagzon par ye iskul calaye
jhanda fahrane ko agaye harami log
ham ko lutne ko a gaye
They say they have a school in the valley
This school is run on paper
To hoist the flag they come, these rogues,
they've come to loot us
shaharon me polis kampon banaya
kampon me afsar ko bitaya
rishvat khane ko lag gaye harami log
ham ko lutne ko agaye
In the cities they have made police camps
Posted officers to these camps
Well-placed to take bribes, these rogues,
they've come to loot us
mumbai me mantralaya banaya
mantralaya me mantri bitaya
bhrashtachar karke hath bharte harami log
ham ko lutne ko a gaye
In Mumbai they have made a Ministry
Posted the Ministers to this Ministry
Fill their hands with corrupt deeds, these rogues, they've come to loot us.
dilli me supreme court banaya
court me judgon ko bitaya
vinashkari vikas ko nyay mante harami log
ham ko lutne ko a gaye
anyay karne ko lag gaye harami log
ham ko lutne ko a gaye
In Delhi they have made a Supreme Court
Posted judges to this court
Who consider destructive development just.
they've come to loot us.
They are set to do injustice, these rogues
they've come to loot us.
washington me vishwa bank banaya
polis khada kar banker ko bitaya
tax na deke tankha leke haste harami log ham ko lutne ko a gaye
desh desh ka kanun todke khate harami log ham ko lutne ko a gaye
In Washington they have made a World Bank
Bankers at the desk while police stand guard
They don't pay tax, they just take salary and grin! these rogues, they've come to loot us
Breaking laws at home and abroad, they feast! These rogues, they've come to loot us.
