I am also a citizen
At the time of birth
I was Indian
Here is the government today
Tells me
No, you do not have citizenship
Because of what
It was clear to me
For dogs and cats
The cow may have, too, here
Who became a Muslim!
I’m not the only one
No, not at all
Fourteenth century
It’s about to start
For the suffering of escape
I am also a citizen,
Is the descendant of the abandoned!
On the verge of dying
As much as the ray of vibration
He is a man of desire I am also a citizen
Are you a Muslim?
If so, make out
You are a migrant.
Begging alms is yours Right.
I am a citizen,
Prominent, enlightened
It is light for India
Blood was drawn from the chest
Those who have achieved freedom are mine
Ancestors,
The citizen is the same
No matter how much longer it makes me tremble
I will not tremble
No obedience
Revolution only!
