Ruk jao, theher jao, tham jao
Let there be a vaccum all around
Let the air be heavy with despair
Let breathing become difficult
Make the taste go away from food
Take away the colors for a while
Ya kuch nahi toh
Thoda world ki lights ko hee dim kardo
Rok do sab kuch thodi der ke liye
Let us in this hollow
Listen to the gunshots being fired
In Kashmir, in Assam, in Jamia
Take away the comfort
Of the hassle of every day life
Of a dying world that pretends
To continue breathing.
