Subah Bakhair Baje AlarmGood morning, the alarm’s ringing.
Litre Doodh Peeke Studio Mein KaamI’m working in the studio after a liter of milk.
Shaam Bakhair Haath Mein DaamGood evening, I’ve got cash in my hand.
Shabba Khair Abbu Karenge AraamGood night, Dad’s going to take it easy now.
Abbu Karenge Araam AbDad’ll finally get some rest now,
Bapu Karenge Araam AbFather’ll finally get some rest now,
Papa Karenge Araam AbPapa’ll finally get some rest now,
Beta Kare Saare Kaam Ab Kam AbThe son’s handling all the work now.
Turn The Mic UpTurn the mic up.
Bapu Kare Mere Te Maan HunnFather’s proud of me now.
Saal Chhabis Lage Aan NuI’m turning twenty-six years old.
Aaja Nazaran Utaar DoonCome, let me ward off the ‘evil eye’.
Teri Bhootni Nu Jhaad DoonI’ll drive away your ‘bad spirits’.
Maami Mainu Kendi Aayi Tarakki Bohta KarliAuntie tells me I’ve progressed way too much.
Bakhshishan Saddi Kithe NeWhere are our ‘blessings’?
Kithe Ne Aithe Kithe NeWhere are they? Right here, where are they?
Seedhi Saadi Gall Hai KiIt’s a very simple thing that,
Mehnat Poori Kiti HaiI’ve put in all the hard work.
Te Kitti Nahi O Chitti VeAnd I haven’t done any ‘whi#e powder’.
Pity Hain Taan Hi Peeti HaiI was in pity, so I took a drink.
Jhande Gadan Aaya VaI’ve come here to plant my flag.
Te Len Aaya Thaan MeriAnd I’ve come to take my place.
Bura Time Aaya Je TuIf hard times come for you,
Phad Li Tu Baah MeriJust hold onto my arm.
Kaka Tu Hai NikkaKid, you’re still young.
Taitho Mangi Nahi SalahI didn’t ask for your advice.
Shor Na Tu Paayi PraDon’t make a noise, brother.
Sote Hue Ne PraaMy brothers are sleeping.
Subah Bakhair Baje AlarmGood morning, the alarm’s ringing.
Litre Doodh Peeke Studio Mein KaamI’m working in the studio after a liter of milk.
Shaam Bakhair Haat Mein DaamGood evening, I’ve got cash in my hand.
Shab Bakhair Abbu Karenge AraamGood night, Dad’s going to rest now.

Bapu Karenge Araam AbFather’ll finally get some rest now,
Papa Karenge Araam AbPapa’ll finally get some rest now,
Beta Kare Saare Kaam Ab Kam AbThe son’s handling all the work now.
Papa Ko Thoda Aaraam Bhi ChahiyePapa needs some rest too.
Tumhe Haram Ka ChahiyeYou just want ‘ill-gotten gains’.
Sab Mere Naam Ka ChahiyeYou want everything in my name.
Hissa Inaam Ka ChahiyeYou want a share of the prize.
Kisi Ko Kaam Nahi ChahiyeNo one actually wants to work.
Dheeli Na Hoti LangotI’ve never lost my discipline.
Saput Na Hote Yeh BohatMany wouldn’t be such ‘worthy sons’.
Sabut Yeh Gote MilordMy ‘mettle’ is the proof, My Lord.
Kaput Ke Seene Mein KhotAn unworthy son has malice in his heart.
Taboot Kiwaad Mein Deemak Ki ChotLike termites striking at a coffin door.
Tab Bhi Paada Kuch NahiEven then, you achieved nothing.
Itne Mauke AayeSo many opportunities came.
Main Itna Hygienic HaayeI’m so clean, gosh.
Maine Dhokhe KhayeI’ve been betrayed.
Beej Boke Aaye Ped SeenchaI sowed the seeds and watered the tree.
Phir Bhoge JayeNow the fruits are being enjoyed.
Maine Itna Toke JayeI kept warning you so much.
Baad Mein Kyu Roke AayeWhy come crying later?
Main Karun AraamIf I take a rest,
Do Kheenchu Main JaamAnd take two drinks,
To Subah Zukam AaThen I’ll have a cold in the morning.
Yeh Karein AaramIf they take a rest,
Jo Hoke NaakamAnd become failures,
Toh Puran Viram AaThen it’s a full stop.
Oth ke mujhe hai kaamI’ve got work the moment I wake up.
Uthun toh kaam tamam aaWhen I rise, the job’s finished.
Utho toh mera lo naamWhen you wake up, take my name.
Chotu bhi maare salaam aaEven the little guy salutes me.
DubaraOnce more.
