07. Mazloom  

 

One of the oldest songs on the album – written in 2008, recorded in 2012 but released only now. It is a song about transgenders, and how Swarathma perceives their lives to be.

Lyrics: 

Kabhi shuruat hoon

Kabhi main ant hoon

Kisi ka beta hoon

Kisi ki maa hoon main

 

Andar jab shor tha

Bahar ka gul gaya

Khidki jo band hui

Darwaza khul gaya

 

Raaste pe jo chala

Har kadam pe jala

Phir bhi main chala

 

Majloom hoon par mehfuz hoon

Dard mein bhi mehzuz hoon

Meri masoomiyat bekasur hai

Haqeeqat mujhko bhi

Haan ab manzoor hai

 

Jiyale mein jeena

Andar mar jana hai

Isse ab ud jaana kahan hai

Jaisa bhi hai yeh mera jahan hai

Maana hoon gamzada

Par ye sun le sada

Ab hoon apna khuda
