We are day laborers, Sir.
Day in and day out
Thousands crores bank balance sir
We don't have
You live in the palace, Sir
Dreams touch the sky,
Do you understand our sorrow, Sir?
Is there that magic?
You have given lockdown, sir.
Says stay at home,
We agreed, Sir
Trying was in my heart.
I stayed one day, stayed two
I keep thinking more,
I was thinking in my mind Sir
Someone, please understand ..?
After three days, Sir
The hope is over,
The government did not give anything
What to do last-sheep ...
I left hungry, Sir
With the last ingredient,
Walking down the street, Sir
With petrol on both feet.
Once upon a time, once upon a time
No one calls anymore,
He caressed and called me at the end
An uncle in clothes.
How dare you call and say
Why are you coming out?
I begged and said, Sir.
There is no other way.
Boys and girls are dying of hunger today
The mother has no medicine,
My wife will leave, Sir
If not, dal rice.
Sir said to me with red eyes
Keep talking
You are here today as punishment
Sit all day.
I told Sir not to do that
Shall we die?
Sir said threateningly
I will give you the answer.
I did my job
The government has said that,
You are not a human being
Please don't waste it.
I said I would not come, Sir
