koyi jahan mein, humaari tarah,
gareeb na ho, gareeb ho bhi tho,
hum jaisa badanaseeb na ho
ek paisa dede, ooo babu, oo babu,
oo jaane wale babu,
ek paisa dede
teri jeb rahe na khali, teri roz mane diwali,
tu hardam mauj udaaye, kabhi na dukh paaye,
oo babu ik paisa dede
yeh bacha duvayen dega, tera bigada kaam banega,
ise raaton neend nahin aaye, bhook tadapaaye,
oo babu ik paisa dede
qismat phuti duniya ruti, choote sabhi sahare,
pet ke khatir bane bhikaari, phirthe dardar maare,
aankh ke anda bapu meera pag pag thokar khaye,
chala nahin jaaye, ik paisa dede
ek paisa dede, ooo babu, oo babu,
oo jaane wale babu,
ek paisa dede
