koi amir hai koi garib hai
jo hai dono ke bich bada badnasib hai
jo hai dono ke bich bada badnasib hai
koi kahta ram tujhe koi rahman
koi kahta ram tujhe koi rahman
tujhe hai sabki chinta ho bhagwan
tujhe hai sabki chinta ho bhagwan
koi bhukha mare to koi moj kare
koi bhukha mare to koi moj kare
likha tune ye kesa nasib hai
jo hai dono ke bich bada basnasib hai

thodi tankha sar pe kunbe ka bhar
thodi tankha sar pe kunbe ka bhar
fate kapde jo dekhe hase ristedar
fate kapde jo dekhe hase ristedar
idhar apna ye hal udhar bacho ka pyar
idhar apna ye hal udhar bacho ka pyar
aisi jindagi to mot ke karib hai
jo hai dono ke bich bada badnasib hai
koi amir hai

Some feast in gold, some starve in dust,
The space between, a cursed rust.
A chasm wide, a bitter plight,
Between the darkness, and the light.

Some call you Ram, some call you Raheem,
A whispered prayer, a hopeful dream.
You hold the world within your gaze,
Through sunlit days, and clouded haze.

One starves in want, the other thrives,
A twisted fate, that barely survives.
A cruel decree, a shadowed art,
The space between, a broken heart.

A meager wage, a family's weight,
Upon a brow, sealed by fate.
Torn garments worn, a mocking sound,
As kith and kin gather around.

This weary plight, this shadowed pain,
A love of kin, a pouring rain.
A life so frail, on death's own shore,
The space between, forevermore.
Some feast in gold...
