Dharpakad Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Special 26
Mui jawaani sadkein naapi
I have spent my damned life roaming here and there
mua zamaana aadha paapi
The damned world is a half sinner
Kaun original sab kuch copy
Who is original, all is a copy
mui zindagi aapa dhapi
This damned life is so full of ups and down
Iski gardan uske pair
One’s neck, the other’s feet
iski lungi uska aanchal
One’s lungi, the other’s scarf
Iski ungli uske baal
One’s finger, the other’s hair
pakad le apna kaam nikaal
catch hold of anything and everything, and get your job done
Mue na rahe tu akad akad
O damned, do not live so rigidly
mue tu apna kaam nikaal
O damned, you get your job done
Mui life hai dharpakad
O damned, the life is about nabbing and grabbing
dhar pakad dhar dharpakad aare dharpakad 5
nab and grab – 5
Jaate chor ki pakad langoti
Catch the loincloth of the running thief
har ek daud ka maqsad roti
The aim of every race is to win bread and butter
Chor sipahi chuha billi
it’s a race between police and thief, cat and mice
Bombay-Patna ho ya Dilli
Be it Bombay-Patna or Delhi
Khel rahe sab pakdam-pakdi
All are playing hide-and-seek
par paise ki chalti tagdi
But the money wins
Mua zamaana bhed hai pyare
This damned world is like a beautiful sheep
paisa hi iss bhed ko chaare
Only money can feed this sheep
Jaise tese paisa aaye
Somehow the money should come in
gora kaala jaise aaye
Be it black, or white, any type will do
Har koi jugat lagaye jaaye
Everyone is trying some kind of setting
iss paise ki (haaye haaye) – 3
This money be damned – 3
Iss se aaye badi akad
With this comes a great attitude
kaala ho toh dhar pakad
If it is black, then nab and grab it
Dhar pakad dhar dharpakad aare dharpakad – 5
Nab and grab it – 5
Mui jawaani pyar ki matki
This damned youth is a pot of love
yes or no ki adhar me atki
It is struck in the mid of yes or no
Yes bole toh picture coffee
If it is yes, then picture and coffee
no bole toh behen ji maafee
If it is no, then it is ‘hello sister, mother’
Mua zamaana taang adaaye
This damned world needles
jag andha par nain ladaaye
Though it is blind, it still stares into your eyes
Buddhi ho ya na ho bhaiyya
Whether one has brain or no brain
phir bhi jag mein sabki raay
Then also there is one common suggestion of all
Baant rahe par saath akal ka
We are distributing brains as blessed food
raah chalte ko pakad pakad
Grab those walking on the road
Yahaan wahaan pe dhar pakad
Nab them from here and there
dhar pakad dhar dharpakad aare dharpakad – 5
Nab and grab – 5
Dhar pakad
Nab and grab
