daanto ka jamana pyare daant bachana
koi tod de ya tute to
koi tod de ya tute to paas hamare aana
daanto ka jamana pyare daant bachana
koi tod de ya tute to paas hamare aana
daanto ka jamana

hosh ke tote udd gaye hote
dukhta jo hota pyare jo hota koi jabda
takiya bhigo ke bhukhe hi sote
cheekh ke mare hota gharwali se jhagda
baithe na rahte rah rah ke kahte
jaldi bulao jaldi bulao khana kaha hai
daanto ka jamana pyare daant bachana
koi tod de ya tute to paas hamare aana
daanto ka jamana

puri pakodi khasta kachori
daant bina ye tujhe do kodi ke lagte
ganna na chusta buta na fabta
mangte rahte dane dane ko taraste
tum khud bulate daud ke aate khana kaha hai
daanto ka jamana pyare daant bachana
koi tod de ya tute to paas hamare aana
daanto ka jamana

aap ka mukhda kahta hai dukhda
aapki akal taar kab se dol dol hai
mai isko fuk du thandak se baithiye
dard na hoga mera nuksa anmol hai
dukh se na dekhiye, kursi pe baithiye
kaha gaya rogi kaha gaya rogi khanna yaha hai
daanto ka jamana pyare daant bachana
koi tod de ya tute to paas hamare aana
daanto ka jamana pyare daant bachana
koi tod de ya tute to paas hamare aana
daanto ka jamana

In teeth's dominion, cherish teeth, my dear, defend,
If shattered, broken, to my solace, lend.
In teeth's dominion, cherish teeth, hold fast,
If shattered, broken, seek my care, that's cast.
In teeth's dominion.

The parrots of your senses, flown afar,
If aching jaws, a torment, left a scar.
Soaked pillows, hunger's bitter plight,
A wife's loud squabble in the lonely night.
No ease, no rest, incessant plea,
"Bring food, I beg, where can it be?"
In teeth's dominion, cherish teeth, defend,
If shattered, broken, to my solace, lend.
In teeth's dominion.

Crisp fritters, perfect pastries, all in vain,
Without your teeth, mere trifles, stained.
No sugarcane's sweet juice, no verdant shoot,
Yearning for morsels, begging for its loot.
You'd summon me, run to the call,
"Where's food? I need, before I fall."
In teeth's dominion, cherish teeth, defend,
If shattered, broken, to my solace, lend.
In teeth's dominion.

Your face betrays, a tale of woes untold,
Your wisdom's thread, a trembling, wavering gold.
I'll breathe on it, a cooling, gentle grace,
No pain shall come, my cure shall find its place.
No pain, you'll see, on this throne you'll sit,
Where is the patient? Here, the cure, to fit.
In teeth's dominion, cherish teeth, defend,
If shattered, broken, to my solace, lend.
In teeth's dominion, cherish teeth, hold fast,
If shattered, broken, seek my care, that's cast.
In teeth's dominion.
