Lyrics
Bol tu kaun hai be, teri pehchaan hai kya
बोल तू कौन है बे, तेरी पहचान है क्या
Tell me who are you, what is your identity?
Aaj hum sabko bata aaj tera naam hai kya
आज हम सबको बता आज तेरा नाम है क्या
Tell us all today what is your name today
Kaun hai kaun hai tu, kuchh toh batala de hamein
कौन है कौन है तू, कुछ तो बटाला दे हमीं
Who are you?
Kaisi uljhan hai teri kuchh toh samajha de hamein
कैसी उलझन है तेरी कुछ तो समझ दे हमें
What is your confusion, give us some understanding
Kaun hai kaun hai tu, kis liye maun hai tu - (2)
कौन है कौन है तू, किस लिए मौन है तू - (2)
Who are you who are you, for what are you silent - (2)
Koyi pehchaan nahi koyi armaan nahi
कोई पहचान नहीं कोई अरमान नहीं
no identity no desire
Iss hukumat se ladu itana aasaan nahi
इस हुकुमत से लड्डू इतना आसान नहीं:
Laddu is not so easy with this ruling:
Isliye maun hoon main, kya pata kaun hoon main - (2)
इस्लिये मौन हूं मैं, क्या पता कौन हूं मैं - (2)
That's why I am silent, do you know who I am - (2)
Kaun hai kaun hai tu - (2)
कौन है कौन है तू - (2)
Who are you who are you - (2)
Tujhako hum sab ki kasam kisliye main hai tu
तुझको हम सब की कसम किसलिय मैं है तू
Why do I swear by you all?
Hain apana baap hube, ghode ki taap hube
हैं अपना बाप हुबे, घोड़े की ताप हुबे
You have become your father, the heat of the horse has become
Ek system hai yahaan main usaka paap hoon be
एक प्रणाली है यहां मैं उसे पाप हूं बे
there's a system here i'm her sin bay
Main toh thaakur bhi nahi, main toh pandit bhi nahi
मैं तो ठाकुर भी नहीं, मैं तो पंडित भी नहीं
I am not even a Thakur, I am not even a Pandit
Hoon jo insaan toh kya usaki kimat hi nahi
हूं जो इंसान तो क्या उसकी किमत ही नहीं
The person I am is not worth it
Na toh dilli hi huwa, na hi chalon huwa
न तो दिल्ली ही हुआ, न ही चलें हुआ
Neither did Delhi happen, nor did it happen
Kya pata kaun hoon main - (2)
क्या पता कौन हूं मैं - (2)
Do you know who I am - (2)
Koyi mohala hai yahaan, koyi biran bhi toh hai
कोई मोहल्ला है यहाँ, कोई बिरान भी तो है
There is a mohalla here, there is also a desert
Koyi sitiya hai magar ek uljhan bhi toh hai
कोई सीटिया है मगर एक उलझन भी तो है
There is a seat but there is also a confusion
Hamako maalum nahi kaise aaye hai yahaan
हमको मालुम नहीं कैसे आए यहां
We don't know how come here
Kaun hai kisake hai hum humko jaana hai kahaan
कौन है किसके है हम हमको जाना है कहां
Who is who whose are we where we have to go
Humako maalum nahi kaun hai kaun hai hum
हमको मालुम नहीं कौन है कौन है हम
we don't know who we are
Baat sadiyon ke bhi abb kisliye maun hai hum
बात सदियों के भी अब किसलिय मौन है हम
Why are we silent even after centuries?
Main toh mohala bhi nahi baap ka ba bhi nahi
मैं तो मोहला भी नहीं बाप का बा भी नहीं
I am not even a mohalla, not even father's father
Kasturi kya hai meri uchhali meri maa bhi nahi
कस्तूरी क्या है मेरी उचली मेरी मां भी नहीं
What is musk, my height is not even my mother
Tu toh gaandhi bhi nahi tera paiyaan bhi nahi
तू तो गांधी भी नहीं तेरा पैयां भी नहीं
You are not even Gandhi, not even your feet
Teri chaandi bhi nahi
तेरी चाँदी भी नहीं
not even your silver
Kaun hai kaun hai woh koyi batlaaye sahi
कौन है कौन है वो कोई बताता सही
Who is right
Nochkar usaki naqaab koyi toh laaye sahi
नौचकर उसकी नक़ाब कोई तो लाए सही
Somebody should bring his mask after knocking
?? samajho na hamein umada sa ?? hai hum
?? समाधान ना हमा उमादा सा ?? है हम
, The solution is not our best?? is we
Bas abhi maun hai hum - (4)
बस अभी मौन है हम - (4)
We are just silent now - (4)
