understand me
understand me 1994 (Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh)
I am silent but don't consider me silent.
This is my dignity, don't consider it a weakness.
Definitely wander at my feet,
don't consider me careless.
I am also a human being,
don't consider me as God.
If there is a mistake of mine,
then do inform me,
but don't mistake me for being ignorant.
I am also a lamp which I have kept in the corner,
But don't explain my light a little.
I must have offended some words
But this heart of mine is pure,
don't make me feel bad.
I am living the moments in a thousand dreams
So this does not mean that I am ignorant of the reality.
I am away from my own people
but don't make me understand that
I am away from my own people.
I am also a human being,
don't consider me as God.
