Bumi bertuah hasilnya mewah
Tuan rumah melangut di kedai kopi
Malas bekerja dijualnya tanah
Untung secupak hidung pun tinggi
Bila untung mereka kawin lagi
Sorang tak cukup cari tiga lagi
Secupak kini tinggal dicelah gigi
Kongsi rumah di bumi bertuah
Tapi tuan rumah malas bangun pagi
Pergi kerja seminggu sekali
Malam pula dengar ceramah maki-maki
Gaji besar pun tak cukup lagi
Disamun disebat tak sedar diri
Tiap-tiap tahun pergi haji
Maka syurga pun dia gerenti
Habis dijual tanah sendiri
Tak cukup tanah dijualnya maruah
Anak muda merempit dan hisap dadah
Habis semua jadi sampah
Ostard dan mufti suka berpecah
Puak itu puak ini semua salah
Setiap hari buat kerja dakwah
Ostard makin mewah umat makin parah
Duduk melepak di kedai janda
Bergebang soal aurat wanita
Cukup masa ke masjid solat isya
Baca Quran tak faham apa
Hati bernanah penuh hasad dengki
Dendam kesumat benci membenci
Terlalu malas nak berdikari
Nak bertongkat sampai mati
Tongkat dibeli dari Cina
Dibuat pula oleh India
Tuan rumah makan tidur saja
Beralah tidak, cuma tak berguna

DeleteAmazing Land
Amazing land brings forth good returns
Its owner hangs out at the coffee shop
Lazy to work, sells his land
A coconut shellful of profit, lifts nose high in the air
When there's profit they marry again
One ain’t enough, look for three more
The shellful now left is in the gaps of his teeth
Share house on the amazing land
But owner is lazy to rise in the morning
Go to work once a week
But at night go listen to hate speech
High salary still ain’t enough
Plunder and steal without conscience
Every year go perform the Hajj
Hence heaven he's guaranteed
All his land he has sold
No more land to sell, sell dignity
Young children waste time and take drugs
In the end all become trash
Religious guru and scholar like to disagree
This and that everything is wrong
Every day preach and evangelize
More religious gurus, more people led astray
Sit and loaf at the widow's shop
Talk idly about covering of women’s bodyparts
When time’s up to the mosque for evening prayer
Read the Quran but don't understand anything
Wicked heart filled with envy and malice
It’s all vengeance and grudge and hate
Too lazy to become self-reliant
Need walking-stick* for support till death
Walking-stick bought from China
But it was made in India
The owner only eats and sleeps
Give it up never, just be useless
