Miya main kaisa Musalman hain?
I am that Musalman who is being asked
again and again
again and again
if i am from Pakistan
when I say
My name is Ajmal

I am that Musalman
for whom it doesn’t make a difference
if i am a Khoja, Bohra Sunni or a Shiya
But during frisking
if my name is asked
I say my name is Ajmal
then they ask
If i am from Pakisthan

I am that Musalman

I am that Musalman

or see no light even after death

I am that Musalman
who kill his life as an under trial

I am that Musalman numberses

I am that Musalman who will hold the tricolour
in order to be a Hinustani
I am that Musalman who is being asked
again and again
if i am a Pakisthani
I am that Musalman who is made to think
I am an Hindusthani Musalman
Or constantly being threatened
will be sent to Pakisthan.
