Chorus

nahi chahiye rang mahal na dhan daulat ki shan

I do not want a coloured palace, nor the glory of wealth

hum to mange tujhse malik ek santosh ka daan

From you, Master, I ask only the gift of contentment

ki ghar ghar me khushhali ho sada sukh ki haryali ho

May every home be happy, may joy stay green forever

nahi chahiye rang mahal na dhan daulat ki shan

I do not want a coloured palace, nor the glory of wealth

hum to mange tujhse malik ek santosh ka daan

From you, Master, I ask only the gift of contentment

Verse 1

tune humko janam diya hai tu hi palanhar

You gave us birth, you alone sustain us

teri daya se fule fale hum sab ka ghar sansar

By your grace may every home in the world flower and bear fruit

tune humko janam diya hai tu hi palanhar

You gave us birth, you alone sustain us

teri daya se phule phale hum sab ka ghar sansar

By your grace may every home in the world flower and bear fruit

nahi chahiye hire moti

I do not want diamonds and pearls

Verse 2

nahi chahiye hire moti nahi ratano ke haar

I do not want diamonds and pearls, nor a necklace of gems

hum to mange tujhse malik ek santosh ka daan

From you, Master, I ask only the gift of contentment

Verse 3

sukh ke badale dukh dene ki ager bhawana teri

If it is your wish to give sorrow in place of joy

dukh ko sahne ki shakti de yahi prarthana meri

Give the strength to bear that sorrow — this is my prayer

sukh ke badale dukh dene ki ager bhawana teri

If it is your wish to give sorrow in place of joy

dukh ko sahne ki shakti de yahi prarthana meri

Give the strength to bear that sorrow — this is my prayer

kisi ke age hath na failaye

May I not hold out my hand before anyone

apni mahnat ka sukh paye itna de vardan

Grant this blessing: joy from the work of my own hands

hum to mange tujhse malik ek santosh ka daan

From you, Master, I ask only the gift of contentment

ki ghar ghar me khushhali ho sada sukh ki haryali ho

May every home be happy, may joy stay green forever

nahi chahiye rang mahal na dhan daulat ki shan

I do not want a coloured palace, nor the glory of wealth

hum to mange tujhse malik ek santosh ka daan

From you, Master, I ask only the gift of contentment
