Janaza (Interlude)

Phasa halaq mein hun
Feels like I'm stuck in throat

Main jaise rooh, ye kare mera photoshoot
Like a soul trying to get out while they take my pictures

Mere muh pe moot ke
They piss on my face
Meri laash se ho rahi guftagoo
And are trying to have a conversation with my dead body

Thaila kitaabo ka uss pe khoon mera school aaj kafi door
Fresh blood on my school bag, my school is too far today

Dekhu zindagi ko hote choor
I feel like my life is slipping away from me

Dekhu sapno ko bante dhul
As my dreams turn to dust

Rakhi bagal mein ek bandook
They have kept a gun right next to me, their alibi

Ab tum shak karna nahi
Don't be suspicious

Inke jhoot bante sach hai ye gehra nadi
Their lies become truths, a river that is too deep

Meri maa baithi hogi iss umeed mein,
My mother must be waiting to see me,

Main ghar laut aau gha abhi
Happy that I will return home soon

Ye usko hi pata dala kafan jisne hota kya
Only those who have wrapped a body in a shroud,
Know what is feels like

Ye usko hi pata khoya badan jisne apno ka
Only those who have lost their own, know what it feels like

Aaj phir ek janaza par laash abhi mili nahi
Another funeral today, but the body hasn't been returned

Phir goliyo ka shor, sunna main, chali nahi
I heard gunshots but they wanted you to believe no bullets were fired

Main charas ki lalach mein apno ko maara hai
I have gotten my own killed for my personal gains

Maine logo ke waado ko khoon se nikhara hai
I have promised people a better tomorrow and only used their blood

Ab jo falak pe hun main
Now that I'm up in the sky
Mere abbu ke hathon pe mera lahoo
My father hands are filled with my blood

Unki nazron se mit ta nahi jinme ab bhi zinda main hun
His eyes can't unsee me, I am still alive, he says

Tab se chali nahi unki ki zubaan, jab se mera jism aaya ghar wapas
He doesn't speak much ever since my dead body came home

Insaaf ki talash mein bhikhari bane hue hum jale hue kaghaz
We have searching for justice, like beggars

Qanoon hi munafiq, azaad mere qatil
Your laws are hypocritical, my killers are still free

Jahan koi nahi khaalis
Where nothing is pure and true

Wahan kuch bhi hai wajib
I guess everything is permitted

Yahan kitno ko yaad mere jaise masoom,
How many do actually remember us,

Kya hamara anjaam
all the innocents who got killed?

Hai ye inka guman,
It's your misconception,

Ye jannat ka bagh nahi ye registan
Ignorance, this is a desert, not garden of paradise

Aaj phir ek janaza par laash abhi mili nahi
Another funeral today, but the body hasn't been returned

Phir goliyo ka shor, sunna main, chali nahi
I heard gunshots but they wanted you to believe no bullets were fired

Main charas ki lalach mein apno ko maara hai
I have gotten my own killed for my personal gains

Maine logo ke waado ko khoon se nikhara hai
I have promised people a better tomorrow and only used their blood

Be akh ha nuvukh,
One more taken away,

Be akh ha morukh,
One more killed,

Govha shaheed,
One more martyred,

Be akh ha povukh.
One more maimed,

Ghar ha zolukh,
Another house burned,

Phaansi ha kholukh,
Another guy hanged,

Kus pari janaaz?
Who will pray at the funeral?

Kus chu masoom?
Who is innocent?

Kus chu shareef?
Who is not guilty?

Kus chu mareez?
Who is ill?

Kus chu kameen?
Who is a tyrant?

Sard zan sheen
Everything is cold as ice

Phatnas chus aamut gov kalkharab
I am about to lose my mind and I want to vent out!
