Na main bhagwan hoon

Na main bhagwan hoon

Na main shaitaan hoon
Duniya jo chaahe samjhe
Main toh insaan hoon

Na main bhagwan hoon
Na main shaitaan hoon
Arre duniya jo chaahe samjhe
Main toh insaan hoon

Mujhme bhalaai bhi, mujhme buraai bhi
Laakhon hain mail dil mein, thodi safaai bhi
Oh mujhme bhalaai bhi, mujhme buraai bhi
Laakhon hain mail dil mein, thodi safaai bhi
Thoda sa nek hoon, thoda be-imaan hoon
Arre duniya jo chaahe samjhe
Main toh insaan hoon

Na main bhagwan hoon
Na main shaitaan hoon
Arre duniya jo chaahe samjhe
Main toh insaan hoon

Na koi raaj hai, na sar par taaj hai
Phir bhi humaare dam se dharti ki laaj hai
Na koi raaj hai, na sar par taaj hai
Phir bhi humaare dam se dharti ki laaj hai
Tan ka gareeb hoon, man ka dhanwaan hoon
Arre duniya jo chaahe samjhe
Main toh insaan hoon

Na main bhagwan hoon
Na main shaitaan hoon
Duniya jo chaahe samjhe
Main toh insaan hoon

Jeevan ka geet hai sur mein na taal mein
Uljhi hai saari duniya roti ke jaal mein
Jeevan ka geet hai sur mein na taal mein
Uljhi hai saari duniya roti ke jaal mein
Kaisa andher hai, main bhi hairaan hoon
Arre duniya jo chaahe samjhe
Main toh insaan hoon

Na main bhagwan hoon
Na main shaitaan hoon
Oh duniya jo chaahe samjhe
Main toh insaan hoon

Of late, I have been trying not to be angry and anxious, and to be kind to everyone. It is an uphill battle.

Anyway, despite whatever negativity I harbour and what others may think of me, I am okay with what I am. All I hope is that I am (or become) a good human being.

This song from Mother India reflects some of my thoughts.

PS: Incidentally, May 25 was the death anniversary of Sunil Dutt. He was known more for being a good person than for his acting prowess. ~S
