Sapne Hame Jeena Sikhate Hain

Phir ek sapna dekho

Apni rah khud chuno

Muskile aayengi
...
Chunotiyan layengi

par har mat manna tum

hona mat gumsum

zindagi ka ajab hisab hai

sawalo mein jabab hain

Ulajhne ka maza sulajne wale kya jane

chahe woh ye mane ya na mane ........

Sapne hume jeena sikate hain

zindagi ki rahe dikhate hain

toh ....

phir ek sapna dekho

apni rah khud chuno :)

Their innocence spurs me on I will fight for them on my own ... on my own

Here I stand helplessly again

The efforts that I put in irrigating my farms and building my house went in vain


I see my farms submerged and demolished

Where has my crops vanished

They call it development induced displacement

they don't care for our sentiment


Our fight is on

whether its dusk or dawn


Another day of deaths another day of survival

Is it a fault in this country to be a tribal


My home will be demolished one fine day

and obeying their orders will be the only way


I am tired of fighting for something which belongs to me

The only thing I have in mind is to break free


Their enlightening smile keep me going

Maybe thats I reason I am still sowing


I will continue to do so

In-spite of my remorse and sorrow


Their innocence spurs me on

I will fight for them on my own


I am strong enough to voice my opinion against all discrimination

Its my informed decision and not a desperation


No one has the right to deprive my children of their right

No one can restrain me from this fight


This fight is not about land and entitlements

it is about justice and commitment


Its time to remove autocracy

Its time to counter their hypocrisy

Its time to ensure democracy



Their innocence spurs me on

I will fight for them on my own ... on my own
