Permit, permit, permit,
To the permit, we submit.
Without the permit in this world,
Not two days can be lived.
Permit, permit, permit,
To the permit, we submit.
The world is vast, you build a world,
Yet from you, higher, are the permit-makers unfurled.
Born with the permit, alive with the permit,
Dead with the permit.
Born with the permit, alive with the permit,
Dead with the permit, behold this age!
Permit, permit, permit, to the permit, we submit.
Without the permit in this world, not two days can be lived.
Permit, permit, permit.
One day, we went to quit the drink,
Behold the spectacle, to the police station we sink.
Oppression fell on us, there we were bound,
We asked for the permit, "No, no," they resound.
Permit, permit, permit, to the permit, we submit.
Without the permit in this world, not two days can be lived.
Permit, permit, permit.
Oh, thank you, oh, Lallu,
We thought with the permit, our life to accrue.
The world won't know, secretly, poison we chew,
We went to a shop, "Two poisons," we imbue.
He spoke, "That is the conqueror, but show the permit to you!"
When Majnu asked Laila for marriage,
She said, "Ask not me, meet my father's carriage."
The old man's hookah filled, he spoke with a glower,
"What madness is this? First, the permit, to you I empower!"
Permit, permit, permit,
To the permit, we submit.
Without the permit in this world,
Not two days can be lived.
Permit, permit, permit.
