Me - "An Indian"

The struggle starts, before I am born
I have to run, when I cannot walk
Still I have to live, still I have to survive
 And this is how my world looks like

The sea, the storm and the fire has life
I have to balance at the end of knife
No place, no home and no family can help me strive
And this is how my world looks like

No school, no education and no respect for me
I have the equal rights, but no-one is pleased
But, I can struggle and I can fight
And this is how my world looks like

I am forced to marry and I am forced to cry
I have lost my childhood before I could find
My world changed and it is difficult to breathe
And this is how my world looks like

I have days to work, but no nights to sleep
I have to fast, I have no food to eat
No dowry made me hear what I cannot listen
And this is how my world looks like

My world turned black, when I have to deliver a boy
I want to raise my voice, but I cannot try
I have everything to give, but nobody to share
And this is how my world looks like

Its time to stand and its time to show
The latent talent which the world doesn't know
The fight will start and no woman will cry
I can and I will change the world before I die

A new time will born and women will rise
No more struggle and no more compromise
I will stand with the world and walk ahead
Its gonna be a better world and I will see it before I am dead

LABYRINTH

Things came down above the ground
To rise again, taking me along
There was no air and there was no gravity
And I am still searching to know where I am


No trace of angels, no trace of devils
All I could see were empty barrels
The world changed from coloured to black & white
And I am still searching to know where I am


Barrels had no bottom, felt like I met infinity
It was all dark with holes in black
I could not feel the earth, I could not feel the light
And I am still searching to know where I am


I saw my childhood, I saw my past
The days are lost and their colours only last
It caught my hand and started to drive
And I am still searching to know where I am


I found the hoops, I found the colours
They were all memories, which build the ladder
But, I felt no energy to climb, no energy to fight
And I am still searching to know where I am


I gathered courage to make me feel alive
I found the space and I found the light
Now I had the path, I had the sight
And I am still searching to know where I am


I stood up again and started feeling life
I can feel the air and all colours revived
The spring was felt and flowers blossomed
And I am still searching to know where I am


I delved into inner-self and reached eternity
I could see myself and my life was moving
The air came back and now nothing was missing
Its all inside me and my soul knows where I am

India - Really our Hindustaan ?

If we keep on fighting with each other, cutting each others' throat
No trace will remain of our existence
Our actions are showing something else
And we keep on saying it is our Hindustaan

Women are suffering, children are crying
It is worse than those who are dying
We dont' really understand our Aan, Baan aur Shaan
And we keep on saying it is our Hindustaan

We dont' try because we know how to cry
Our tears dont' take action and we allow them to dry
We can change tomorrow but we dont' have the Imaan
And we keep on saying it is our Hindustaan

Its difficult to tell and tough to explain
We can only understand if we can feel the pain
India is not only our country but also our Abhimaan
And we keep on saying it is our Hindustaan
