Rohith ko maut ki ghat tak le jaate hai ye log
Kanhaiya Kumar ko Court mein pitate hai ye log
Prashasan aur police unke ishare pe naachti hai
Modi ke acche din ab aa gaye hain
Sanghi dalal har jagah chha gaye hain
(These guys take Rohith Vemula to the valley of death
They thrash Kanhaiya Kumar in the Court camplex
And the sarkar and police dance to their tunes.
Modi’s good days have finally come
RSS guys rule the roost everywhere.)
Sarkar aur shasan hai Sanghi kathputli
Nyaya-anyaya tay karate hain ye Sanghi
Jinke liye hai Manusmriti hi Samvidhan
Modi ke acche din ab aa gaye hain
Sanghi dalal har jagah chha gaye hain
(RSS controls the sarkar and administration
And decides what is justice and what is not
And for them Manusmriti is the Constitution.
Modi’s good days have finally come
RSS guys rule the roost everywhere.)
Ab Nagpur hai iss desh ki rajdhani
Brahmantva hai desh ki vichadhara
Muchhail pande ne kar diya hai eelan
Modi ke acche din ab aa gaye hain
Sanghi dalal har jagah chha gaye hain.
(Now Nagpur is the capital of India
Brahmantva is its national ideology
The mustachioed pandit has made it clear.
Modi’s good days have finally come
RSS guys rule the roost everywhere.)
Veda-Purana ki pooja hai asli rashtravad
Aur jati dharma hai desh ka apna dharma
Nagpur ke pande ke kar diya hai ye eelan
Modi ke acche din ab aa gaye hain
Sanghi dalal har jagah chha gaye hain
(True nationalism is nothing but brahmanism
True religion is the caste-centred Hinduism
The pandits of Nagpur have made it clear.
Modi’s good days have finally come
RSS guys rule the roost everywhere.)
Haq mangne wale ko kadi sazaa denge Sanghi
Deshdroh mein fasaye jayenge Ambedkarvadi
Jail me dale jayenge sare Dalit-Bahujan vidrohi
Modi ke acche din ab aa gaye hain
Sanghi dalal har jagah chha gaye hain
(RSS will punish those who demand their rights
Ambedkarites will be branded anti-nationals
Dalit-Bahujan rebels will be put behind the bars.
Modi’s good days have finally come
RSS guys rule the roost everywhere.)
Sazaa milegi jo jan sangharsh ki baat karenge
Hoth sile jayenge Jai Bhim aur Lal Salaam ke
Marenge jo Phule, Periyar, Marx ki baat karenge
Modi ke acche din ab aa gaye hain
Sanghi dalal har jagah chha gaye hain
(Those supporting people’s struggle will be crushed
Greetings of Jai Bhim and Lal Salaam will be silenced
Those who follow Phule, Periyar, Marx will be eliminated.
Modi’s good days have finally come
RSS guys rule the roost everywhere.)
