chaa.Ndii ke cha.nd TukaDo.ne ke li_e

After tracing the evolution of currency in 'paise kii kahaani' in my last post, here is another song lamenting the barter of love and honesty for wealth. The third and fourth lines of the song : "masjiid me Kuudaa aur ma.ndir me bhagavaano bechaa jaataa hai" were absent from the 78 disc. It could either be the censor board or the time limitation on 78s - not sure which one.


chaa.Ndii ke cha.nd Tuka.Do.n ke li_e
(iimaan ko bechaa jaata hai) \-2
masajiid me Kuudaa aur ma.ndir me
bhagavaan ko bechaa jaataa hai \threedots

yahaa.N aise bhii kuchh kaliyaa.N hai.n
jo naa bole naa muh khole
daulat ke taraazuu me inako
khud se.Nkanevaale hii tole
saiyaado.n kii is bastii me
(a.njaan ko bechaa jaataa hai) \-2 \threedots

har chiiz kaa saudaa hotaa hai
har chiiz yahaa.N pe bikatii hai
dhanavaan ke aage nirdhan kyaa
ab saarii Kuudaa_ii jhuukatii hai
bebas inasaano.n ke har ik
(aramaan ko bechaa jaataa hai) \-2 \threedots

ai maalik tuu ne liKii hai
patthar kii kalam se taqadiire.n
majbuur musabbiir dekh rahaa
ye khuunii jigar kii tasaviire.n
inasaan ke haatho.n hii ab to
(inasaan ko bechaa jaataa hai) \-2 \threedots
