Thahar jara o janewale -2, babu mistar gore kale
थार जरा ओ जानेवाले -2, बाबू मिस्त्र गोर काले
Thar Zara O Jaanewale-2, Babu Mistra Gore Kale
Kab se baithe aas lagaye, ham matwale palishwale
कब से बैठे आस लगाये, हम मतवाले पलिशवाले
Since when do we sit and wait, we drunken polishers
Thahar jara o janewale, babu mistar gore kale
थार जरा ओ जानेवाले, बाबू मिस्त्र गोर काले
Thar zara o jaanewale, babu mistra gore kale
Kab se baithe aas lagaye, ham matwale palishwale..........
कब से बैठे आस लगाये, हम मतवाले पलिश्वाले.........
Since when do we sit and wait, we drunken Philistines.........
Yeh kali palish ek aana, yeh brawn palish ek aana
ये काली पलिश एक आना, ये ब्रॉन पलिश एक आना:
Ye Kali Polish Ek Anana, Ye Bron Polish Ek Anana:
Jute kaa malish ek aana, har mal milega ek aana
जूट का मलिश एक आना, हर मल मिलेगा एक आना:
The mass of jute is one anana, every stool will get one anana:
Naa blaism naa pakhaudee hai, naa pagadi hai naa choree
न ब्लाइस न पखौदी है, न पगड़ी है न छोरी
Neither blais nor pakodi, nor turban nor girl
Chhoti si dukan lagaye, ham matwale palishwale........
छोटी सी दुकान लगाये, हम मतवाले पलिश्वाले.........
Set up a small shop, we drunken Philistines.........
Mehnat kaa phal mitha mitha han bhai han re
मेहंदी का फल मीठा मीठा हन भाई हन रे
Mehndi ka fruit sweet sweet han bhai han re
Bhag kisika rutha jhutha naa bhai naa re
भाग किसिका रूथा झूठा ना भाई ना रे
Bhaag Kisika Rutha Jhootha Na Bhai Na Re
Mehnat kee ek rukhi roti han bhai han re
मेहंदी की एक रूखी रोटी हन भाई हन रे
A dry roti of Mehndi Han Bhai Han Re
Aur mufat kee dudh malayi naa bhai naa re
और मुफत की दूध मलयी ना भाई ना रे
And free milk, neither brother nor re
Lalach jo phokat kee khaye, lalach jo haram kee khaye
लालाच जो फोकत की खाये, लालच जो हराम की खाये
Greed, who eats Fokat, Greed who eats Haram
Ham matwale palishwale........
हम मटवले पलिशवाले.........
We are the matte polishers………
Pandit jee mantar padate hain, woh ganga jee nahalate hain
पंडित जी मंतर पदते हैं, वो गंगा जी नहलाते हैं
Pandit ji pays mantar, he bathes Ganga ji.
Ham pet kaa mantar padate hai, jute kaa muh chamakate hai
हम पेट का मंतर मिलता है, जूट का मुह चमकते हैं
We get the stomach, the mouth of the jute shines
Pandit ko panch chavannee hai, hamko toh ek ikannee hai
पंडित को पंच चवन्ने है, हमको तो एक इकनी है
Pandit has Panch Chavanne, we have one Ekni
Phir bhed bhav yeh kaisa hai, jab sab kaa pyara paisa hai
फिर भेद भाव ये कैसा है, जब सब का प्यारा पैसा है
Then how is the difference, when everyone's love is money
Unch nich kuchh samajh naa paye, ham matwale palishwale........
ऊंचा कुछ कुछ समझ न पाए, हम मतवाले पलिश्वाले.........
We can't understand anything higher, we drunken Philistines.........

About the movie
Summary
Toddlers Belu and Bhola share an uncertain future when their mom dies in the plague, and their dad is imprisoned. They are then left in the uncaring care of Kamla, their aunt, who moonlights as a prostitute. She is cruel,abusive and forces them to take to a life of begging on the local trains, on beaches and crowded areas in Bombay. This is how the toddlers grow up, they want to lead a respectable life, and with the help of bootlegger John, they get a shoe-shine kit and start shining shoes on busy sidewalks and railway platforms. Their circumstances face more uncertainty when Kamla finds out about their new-found profession, beats them up and throws them out of the house. They temporarily seek shelter with John, but when he is arrested, they have to fend for themselves. Things become bad to worse when Bombay enters the monsoon season, when people do not get their shoes shined; then the duo are separated – with Belu ending up with a rich family, and when she asks about Bhola, she is told that he is dead. The question remains is Bhola really dead, if not, what has been his fate?
