the bhaiyyas last stand
away
from the city
of their birth
away from
loved ones
in their
hometown
eking a
living
in a
migrant
city
running
up and down
carrying loads
pushing carts
from the streets
to the godowns
from shops
to taxi stands
in mumbai
boomtown
beaten
mocked
humiliated
in a crackdown
political
scapegoat
of regional
wrath
in some
cities
towns
terrorists
are given more
respect
in our city jails
but the bhaiyyas
cosmic fate
being an
indian
treated as a
stranger
insulted
denounced
his rich
ostentatiously
laid back
leaders
built statues
parks elephants
instead of creating
jobs for them
is the sad story
of north indian
bhaiyya final
count down
Chane jor garam babu main laaya majedaar
Chane jor garam babu
main laaya majedaar
chane jor garam
Chane jor garam babu
main laaya majedaar
chane jor garam
mere chane hain chatpat bhaiya
aur bade lasaani
aur kaise chaav se khaate
dekho Raam aur Ramzaani
aur chunnu munnu ki jabaan bhi
ho gayi paani paana
Aur kahen Kabeer suno bhai saadho
suno guru ki baani
Chane jor garam babu
main laaya majedaar
chane jor garam
Chane jor garam babu
main laaya majedaar
chane jor garam
are madarse ka jeewan to
chand dino ka thaath
aur padh likh kar sab chal doge apni apni baat
phir koyi tumme hoga afsar koyi Governor Laat
tab main aaunga daftar tumre
main aaunga daftar tumre
liye chane ki chat
Chane jor garam babu
main laaya majedaar
chane jor garam
Chane jor garam babu
main laaya majedaar
chane jor garam
Chane jor garam babu (Bandhan) (1939) Singer-Arun Kumar, Lyrics-Pradeep,MD-Saraswati Devi

although
i said
'bhaiyya
knowing well
he was from UP
not jhoomri talaya
he got upset
looked at me
glaringly
he retorted
i am pucca
mumbaiyya
in shudh marathi
he had changed
his attitude
personality
total ravaiya
than he asked me
whether i was
a muslim or a miya
i told him
i was from italy
mama mia
though i
did confess
i was poetically
a hindu shia
circumcised
but i could
do ling kriya
