Thok di killi, thok di killi
(hammer the nail) (put the nail on the wall?)
(I think this Killi is wrong, it is Gilli, from the village game of 
Gulli-Danda in which one wooden pallet strikes other smaller wood 
piece to throw it far away. The piece put atop the cricket wickets is 
also called same gilli)

Ke door nahin hai, chalega dilli
(it is not afar, will you go to Delhi)
(Note: Ab Dilli Door Nahi, (Dehli is no more far) was the name of a 
film, and it has become like an idiom, meaning something is 
achievable, things are not on ivory tower. may be they are referring 
to that concept)
Sabko ghoore aankh dikhaye tanashahi kare, darraye
(someone stares at everyone, fixates his eyes on them to instil fear 
in them, it is doing dictorship, is making afraid) (pronunciation is 
not clear in this song)

O bhagad billi, o thok di killi
(billi is cat, bagad billi is a mischievious, fearsome, nuisance cat)
Tu maar de danda, udha de killi
(note: Yupp, so it is indeed gilli danda play, (Strike the bat, let 
the gilli fly)

Itna hi vitnaye jab bhi hadd se aagey zad me aayi
(not clear) whenver it goes beyond the limit and reaches the boundary)
Aankh mein kaala kaajal, aur naak mein nathli, kaan mein jhumka
(has black paste in the eyes, and has gold ring in the nose, has 
earring in the ears)
Paon me pehene bichua aur dhanye bhanye maare thumka
(is wearing rings in the toes of feet, and is shaking his waist an 
hips left and right - a dance jerk called thumka)
Aase paase sabko ghoore dekhe aur dikhaye tever
(is staring everybody nearby, is seeing everyone and showing its temper)
Mujre ka nazrana maange, heeray panne nakdi zevar
(is asking for monetary tip for its own display/ dance, is aksing for 
diamond, emerald, cash and jwelleries in this tip)
Bichde bichde keh ke humko khoob udaye khilli dilli
(??)


Jhoothi sachchi seh li, thumri kajri jo bhi keh li
(whether it was true or false, we tolerated,  thumri, or kajri (two 
styles of classical vocal singing) whatever it said
Humne ek tihaai ye ghungroo chhod ke chatt par tehli
(we have one third,??? she removed the ghungroo (metal ornament of 
feet), and roamed around on the roof)
Jhoothi hai makkaar nachaiya, na koi maari na koi baiya
(this dancer is untruthful, she is a cheat, ???)
Boondh boondh ke kapat bara main dil behlata ta tha thaiya
(every drop of it is filled with falsehood, ??? ta ta thaiya dancing 
steps)
Bichde bichde keh ke humko khoob udaye khilli dilli


O thok di killi, o thok di killi
Ke door nahin hai, chalega dilli

Raat ka maal, raaton ne lutaa
(the property of night, got looted by nights)
Chaand taaron ke guchche churaye
(moon is steeling the bunches of stars)
Din nikalna tha, apna bhi nikla
(the day has to come, our day also started)
Kisme dum hai ke suraj bujaye
(who has the might to extinguish the sun)
Kisme dum hai ke suraj bujaye
Aaja milke baithe, haal sunawe dil ka
(come, let's sit together, let's tell the condition of our heart)
kelon ko khaate gaye, ham ko pehnke chilka chilka
(they keep on eating the bananas, and they are throwing its peels for us)
Bichde bichde keh ke humko khoob udaye gilli dilli

Sehte sehte ab to gardan ghar tak tar jaate hain
(we have been tolerating for so long that our neck has become ???)
Choti ho gayi kabarein, bin mundi bhi marr jaate hain
(the graves have become shorter, people die with their head chopped to 
accomodate)
Sadiyon se chalta aaya hai ooch neech ka lambha kissa
(for centuries, the long tale of privileged and unprivileged has been 
going on)
Ab ki baar hisaab chuka le, cheen ke le le apna hissa
(let's get even this time, snatch away the portion that rightfully is 
yours)
Apna khoon bhi laal hi hoga, khol ke dekh le khaal ke jhilli
(our blood would also be red, it seems, you can see by opening the 
membrane of the skin)

Thok thok thok di killi, o thok di killi
Ke door nahin hai, chalega dilli
Sabko ghoore aankh dikhaye tanashahi kare daraye


O thok di killi, o bhagad billi
Ke door nahin hai, chalega dilli
Sabko ghoore aankh dikhaye, sabko ghoore aankh dikhaye, sabko ghoore 
aankh dikhaye
Tanashahi kare daraye
