Then one night They brought in a steamy Citizens Amendment Act and State NRC That shook the roots Of the republic nation Hitting the lion-heart Of the Indian Constitution Poison fangs tore India In religious discrimination While all refugees are welcome As is India’s old kind tradition Making it a chartered law Brings a curse of perdition Those without ancestral papers Would land in concentration camps where millions of Indians Would die like flies and tramps We are still waiting For the CAA and NRC to be drawn back
So the nation arose in protestation Innocent youth were shot and died And others smirked in jubilation While crowds sang songs Waved flags in peace cops droned down on them With weaponry of grease Young men were shot dead In the whirlpool of the battle Lives snuffed like cows and cattle Nation-wide protests broke When realized the plot behind their rationale Fringe groups caused riots To label the protesters as anti-national
In Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh women gathered On -2 degree subzero freezing nights Singing songs, crying Azadi A cry for their lives and children’s rights
Kashmir silenced in the snowy cold Hope was sinking, walls were closing Broken sad harps strings crooned A shattered melody on the sorrow of souls
The CAA, NRC will soon make A sea of good citizens prisoners in chains while a favored few will stand To rule and to material gain
But none will win If the nation is blown away by pens of deceit Then the Indian Constitution Will melt in the flames demonic heat If India is divided, will be shattered and fall Within narrowed dark walls
Without unity in diversity She will lose her song and symphony Remember, if such is denied to a nation That’s when a nation roars! The voice of seas of over a billion Rise in the nation of over a hundred crores!
