bol tu kaun hai be, teri pehchaan hai kya
aaj hum sabko bata aaj tera naam hai kya
kaun hai kaun hai tu, kuchh to batala de hamein
kaisi uljhan hai teri, kuchh to samjha de hamein
kaun hai kaun hai tu, kis liye maun hai tu
kaun hai kaun hai tu, kis liye maun hai tu
koyi pehchaan nahi koyi armaan nahi
is hukumat se ladu itna aasaan nahi
isliye maun hoon main, kya pata kaun hoon main
isliye maun hoon main, kya pata kaun hoon main

kaun hai kaun hai tu, kaun hai kaun hai tu
tujhko hum sab ki kasam kisliye maun hai tu

main apna baap hu be, ghode ki taap hu be
ek system hai yahaan, main uska paap hoon be
main to thaakur bhi nahi, main to pandit bhi nahi
hoon jo insaan to kya, uski kimat hi nahi
na to dilli hi hua, na hi chaalon hua
kya pata kaun hoon main, kya pata kaun hoon main

koyi mauhla hai yahaan, koyi biran bhi to hai
koyi sitiya hai magar, ek uljhan bhi to hai
hamko maalum nahi kaise aaye hai yahaan
kaun hai kiske hai hum, humko jaana hai kahaan
humko maalum nahi, kaun hai kaun hai hum
baad sadiyon ke bhi ab, kisliye maun hai hum

main to mauhla bhi nahi, baap ka ba bhi nahi
kasturi kya hai meri, putli meri maa bhi nahi
tu to gaandhi bhi nahi, kori aandhi bhi nahi
tera koyala bhi nahi, teri chaandi bhi nahi
kaun hai kaun hai wo koyi batlaaye sahi
nochkar uski naqaab koyi to laaye sahi
ghaas samajho na hamein
umada sa ?? hai hum
bas abhi maun hai hum, bas abhi maun hai hum
bas abhi maun hai hum, bas abhi maun hai hum

Who are you, tell us, what marks your way?
Tell us all today, what is your name to say?
Who are you, who are you, some secrets please reveal,
What is your turmoil, your silence, make us feel.
Who are you, who are you, why do you choose to be mute?
Who are you, who are you, why do you bear silent fruit?
No recognition, no desires to claim,
To fight this system, is not a simple game.
Therefore I am mute, for who I am I don't know,
Therefore I am mute, the seeds of self, I cannot sow.

Who are you, who are you, who are you, who do you be?
By all of us, by all, I beg you, speak to me.

I am my own father, hooves of a horse I tread,
I am this system's sin, the words I have said.
I am no Thakur, nor a Pandit's creed,
If human, what worth, a forgotten seed.
Neither from Delhi, nor the ways of the sly,
Who I am, what I am, beneath an unknown sky.

What a neighborhood, a widow may reside,
Sita's echoes still, where confusion does confide.
We know not how we came to this place,
Whose are we, who are we, what is our embrace?
We know not, we know not, who are you, who are we,
After centuries, after, why silent, do we see?

I am not the neighborhood, nor my father's kin,
What is my musk? Not even my mother within.
You are not Gandhi, nor a mere gust of breeze,
Not your coal, nor your silver, that seeks to appease.
Who is that, who is that, someone must now declare,
Tear away the masks, and the truth to share.
Do not think of us as grass,
We are a magnificent, a glorious...
Just now we are mute, just now we are mute,
Just now we are mute, just now we are mute.
