Yeh Hum Nahin by Various



A story is being spread in our name;
it is a lie.
These stamps of death on our foreheads
are the signs of strangers.
The name by which you know us--
we are not that.
The eyes with which you see us--
we are not that.

This isn't us, this isn't us,
this isn't us, this isn't us,
this isn't us, this isn't us.

The way, with nightfall,

one loses one's path,
We are scared of the darkness so much,
we are burning our own home.
What is this rising all around us, from every direction?
A story is being spread in our name;

it is a lie.

This isn't us, this isn't us,
this isn't us, this isn't us,
this isn't us, this isn't us.

On the way, the lesson of living together fell from us.
We are scared now even of each other, because of this.
They are other people, whose faces are in your hands.

Your pains are the ocean. Our wounds are deep.

The stories being spread in our name...are lies.

This isn't us, this isn't us, this isn't us,
this isn't us, this isn't us, this isn't us.
This isn't us, this isn't us, this isn't us,
this isn't us, this isn't us, this isn't us.
