Gangaram Kanwara Reh Gaya Songtext
von Kishore Kumar

Gangaaraam kanvaara rah gaya
Gangaaraam kanvaara rah gaya
Gangaaram kaun hai?
(kaun hai ye gangaaraam?)
(are, gangaaraam kaun hai?)

Gangaaram kaun hai?
Gangaaraam hai ek tote ka ram

To totaaraam kanvaara rah gaya
Gangaaraam kanvaara rah gaya

Ek maina thi minaa naam kee
Ek maina thi minaa naam kee
Usse chonch ladi gangaaraam kee

Ek hee daali pe donon rahete the
Ek hee daali pe donon rahete the
Ek-duje se vo ye kehthe the

"prema karnaa to apanae haath hai
Paanaa aur khona qismat kee baath hai"
Bas maina kee shaadi ho gayi aur kisi ke saath
Dhooma-dham se aayi us din jangal mein baraat


Miyaan-mitthu kee ho gayi neend haraam

To gangaaraam kanvaara rah gaya
To totaaraam kanvaara rah gaya

Hathi ne sunaa to vo chinhada
Sher ne sunaa to vo bhee dahaada
Kaalu bhaaluu bhee chikha zor se
Bol gaya saara jangal shor se

Tote ka hamdard gidad ban gaya
Is chakkar mein vo leader ban gaya
Gidad jee ne leader banakar jhaadi ik taqarir
Akhbaaron mein chap gayi tota-maina kee tasveer

(phir kya hua? phir kya hua?)
Are, phir vahee hua jo hamesha hota hai

He, doli baith ke maina koob roi
Doli baith ke maina koob roi
ਮੈਨੂੰ ਲੈ ਚੱਲ ਤੋਤੀਆ, ਲੈ ਚੱਲ
Ve, kahaa-sunaa hamaaraa maaf karnaa, o
ਬੱਸ ਵੈਰੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਅਸੀ ਪਹਿ ਚੱਲੇ ਵੇ


Gangaaraam ka qissa hota hai tamaam
Gangaaraam ka qissa hota hai tamaam
Hindu ko ram-ram, muslim ko salaam

To gangaaraam kanvaara rah gaya
Gangaaraam kanvaara rah gaya

Gangaaram kaun hai?
Gangaaraam hai ek tote ka ram

To totaaraam kanvaara rah gaya
O, gangaaraam kanvaara rah gaya

Gangaaraam, bechaaraa gangaaraam kanvaara rah gaya
