Lyrics
kyaa jaane ameeri
kyaa jaane ameeri
jo gareebi ka maza hai
gareebi ka maza hai
daulat usse de hai to
hamen sab diya hai
hamen sabr diya hai
kyaa jaane ameeri
kyaa jaane ameeri
jo gareebi ka maza hai
gareebi ka maza hai
ham sone ki chaandi ki
tamanna nahin karte
dukh dard mein bhi hanste hain
shiqwa nahin karte
kismat mein gareebi hi sahi
dil to bada hai
dil to bada hai
kismat mein gareebi hi sahi
dil to bada hai
dil to bada hai
kyaa jaane ameeri
kyaa jaane ameeri
jo gareebi ka maza hai
gareebi ka maza hai
phoolon ke bichaune pe bhi
roti hai ameeri
aur kaanton ke bister pe bhi
hansti hi faqeeri
wo kaanta bhi hai phool
jo maalik ne diya hai
jo maalik ne diya hai
wo kaanta bhi hai phool
jo maalik ne diya hai
jo maalik ne diya hai
kyaa jaane ameeri
kyaa jaane ameeri
jo gareebi ka maza hai
gareebi ka maza hai
hai jeb agar garm
to kuchh khaa ja khila jaa
daulat se na kar pyaar
ise yoon hi luta jaa
naadaan
ye paisa bhi kabhi saath gaya hai
kabhi saath gaya hai
naadaan
ye paisa bhi kabhi saath gaya hai
kabhi saath gaya hai
kyaa jaane ameeri
kyaa jaane ameeri
jo gareebi ka maza hai
gareebi ka maza hai

What great lyrics by Rajinder Krishan! Recalls to mind the words of Oliver Goldsmith:
Yes, let the rich deride, the proud disdain
These simple blessings of the lowly train;
To me, more dear, congenial to my heart,
One native charm than all the gloss of art.
Spontaneous joys, where nature has its play,
The soul adopts and owns their first born sway.
Lightly they frolic over the vacant mind,
Unenvied, unmolested, unconfined.
Thanks for this beautiful upload.
