lut liya, lut liya
kisi garib ka ghar baadshah ne lut liya
kisi garib ka ghar
kisi garib ka ghar baadshah ne lut liya
karu main kis se gila
karu main kis se gila
jab khuda ne lut liya
kisi garib ka ghar
kisi garib ka ghar baadshah ne lut liya

lahu se dil ke jalaya tha jo chiraag humne
lahu se dil ke jalaya tha jo chiraag humne
usi chiraag ko zaalim
usi chiraag ko zaalim
hawa ne lut liya
kisi garib ka ghar

duhai hai are insaaf ki duhai hai
duhai hai are insaaf ki duhai hai
ki ek fakir ko

aalampana ne lut liya
karu main kis se gila
karu main kis se gila
jab khuda ne lut liya
kisi garib ka ghar
kisi garib ka ghar baadshah ne lut liya

Plundered, plundered,
the king has plundered
a poor man's home.
A poor man's home.
The king has plundered
a poor man's home.
To whom shall I complain?
To whom shall I complain?
When God himself has plundered?
The king has plundered
a poor man's home.
A poor man's home.

With the blood of my heart,
I lit the lamp,
With the blood of my heart,
I lit the lamp.
That very lamp, cruel winds,
that very lamp, cruel winds,
have plundered.
A poor man's home.

I cry for justice, I cry for justice,
I cry for justice!
That a beggar,
that a beggar,
was plundered by the world's master.
To whom shall I complain?
To whom shall I complain?
When God himself has plundered?
The king has plundered
a poor man's home.
A poor man's home.
