Cricket Nahi Tamasha Hai - Sung by Daler Mehndi & Lyrics by Kapil Sibal...

Song visuals include shots of almost all owners, celebs and players

Srinivasan and Guru are shown when they sing: na chorenge pad ko apne......

Jeet hamaari jhoothi hogi iska pata na tha,

khel ki duniya maili hogi, iska pata na tha,

cricket ka yeh khel tha samjhe,

yeh toh sauda nikla

Cricket nahi yeh tamasha hai, paison ki paribhasha hai (2)

Paison ka yeh khel bana hai,

ab hai pata laga,

kaise, kaise log hain shaamil,

mujhko yakeen na tha..

Cricket nahi yeh tamasha hai, paison ki paribhasha hai (2)

Dilchuspee se dekhen jo sab,

unka vishwaas toota,

Jiski team ki jeet hui thi,

woh bhi mayoos hua

Kaun hai haar, kaun hai jeeta,

kya khel paise ka tha,

Maine socha sab hero the (2)

Kya pardah phaash hua,

Cricket nahi yeh tamasha hai, paison ki paribhasha hai (2)

Naa chorenge pad ko apne,

aaisa andaaz hua,

bade bade ke, chotepan se,

darshak hairaan hua,

Khel hai koi, jung nahi hai,

jeete ya koi haare,

badnaam hue jo khel rahe the,

cricket ke sitaare,

Cricket nahi lagta hai yeh,

paison ke khel hamaare...

Cricket nahi yeh tamasha hai, paison ki paribhasha hai (2)

REPEAT...

Jeet hamaari jhoothi hogi iska pata na tha,

khel ki duniya maili hogi, iska pata na tha,

cricket ka yeh khel tha samjhe,

yeh toh sauda nikla

Cricket nahi yeh tamasha hai, paison ki paribhasha hai
