dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
din rat badli halat badle
mehnat ne dunia sawari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari

mana koi chiz takdir bhi hai
par ye na bhulo ke tadbir bhi hai
ye tadbir pathar me kaliya khila de
garibi ke sholo ko sabnam bana de
din rat badle halat badle
mehnat ne dunia sawari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari

garibi ki janjir kab tak rahegi
mehnat ki choti ye kab tak sahegi
garibi ka ho jiske ghar me andhera
wo mehnat ke suraj se kar le sawera
mehnat ne dunia sawari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
din rat badle halat badle
mehnat ne dunia sawari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari
dekho mehnat se daulat ki yari

Behold, the bond of wealth and toil,
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil,
Through nights and days, the fortunes turn,
By labor's hand, the world is poised,
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil,
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil.
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil,
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil.

Though fate may weave its unseen thread,
Forget not where the actions lead,
This striving soul, in stone, a bloom,
Can quell the fire of poverty's gloom,
Through nights and days, the fortunes turn,
By labor's hand, the world is poised,
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil,
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil.
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil,
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil.

How long shall chains of want remain?
How long this pain, this labor's strain?
For those whose homes in shadows dwell,
Let toil's bright sun their darkness quell,
By labor's hand, the world is poised,
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil,
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil,
Through nights and days, the fortunes turn,
By labor's hand, the world is poised,
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil,
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil.
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil,
Behold, the bond of wealth and toil.
