Mera Naam Bilqis Yakub Rasul
Ki Jab Dhundte The Vo Ram Ko
To Main Khadi Thi, Raah Mein
Pehle Ek Ne Puchha Na Mujhe Kuch Pata Tha
Duje Ko Mera Yehi Jawab Tha
Itno Ne Puchha Ki Mera Abb Sawal Hai Ki
Jinhe Naaz Hai Hind Par Vo Kahan The
Jinhe Naaz Hai Vo Kahan Hai?
I just stood watching as they
brought the bricks of my belief to bite dust
In the name of a God I didn't know,
for reasons I never understood.
There is no religion among animals. They have no God.
And when those animals butchered my family, I just stood watching!
Mera Naam Shriman Satyendra Dubey
Jo Kehna Tha woh Keh Chukey
Ab Padeh Hain Rah Mein
Dil Mein Liye ek Goli
Bas Itna Kasur Ki Hamne Likha Tha
Vo Sach Jo Har Kisi Ki Zuban Tha
Par Sach Yahan Ho Jatey Hain Zahriley
Jinhe Naaz Hai Hind Par Vo Kahan The
Jinhe Naaz Hai Vo Kahan Hain?
Mujhe Kehte Hain Anna Manjunath
Maine Dekhi Bhatakti Ek Laash
Zamir Ki Beech Sarhak Lakhimpur Kherhi
Adarsh Phasan Jahan Naaron Mein
Aur Chor Bharey Darbaron Mein
Vahan Maut Ek lakh Ki Hai Ek Khabar Baasi
I just stood watching when millions slept hungry
When a 5-year old's modesty was filched
When my leaders sold-out
And when a soldier was back-stabbed
I just stood watching!
(Marathi)
Mazha Nau Aahe Navleen Kumar
Unnees Unnees Unnees Unnees
Unnees Baar
Looto Dehaat Kholo Bazaar
Nallasopara Aur Virar
Chheeno Zameen Hamse Hamein
Bhejo Pataal
Unnees Baar
Looto Dehaat Kholo Bazaar
Nallasopara Aur Virar
Chheeno Zameen Hamse Hamein
Bhejo Pataal
Jinhe Naaz Hai Hind Par Vo Kahan The
Jinhe Naaz Hai Vo Kahan Hain?
I could have been a soldier or a cop
A politician or a philanthropist
Atleast a good citizen
But I am none!
Because I have just stood watching!
Am I really proud to be an Indian?
P.S. The original lyrics were written by Sahir for a Gurudutt film. This video and the above lyrics are a beautiful rendition done by Rabbi.
