When I pass through my town,
I'm not a citizen like you are
Holding Form-4 authorization,
Just like a nomad
When I go to university,
I'm not a fresher like you are
No professionalism and major
Just like illegitimate
When I approach people,
I'm not acceptable like you are
Suffering apartheid and chauvinism
Just like quarantine
When I want to marry
I'm not a fiancé like you are
Approved for marriage,
Just like an alien
When I want to repair my hut,
I'm not allowed to like you are
Facing palpable denials,
Just like an invader
When I arrange a little trade,
I'm not a vendor like you are
Ongoing restricted and confiscated,
just like a pauper
When I apply for the civil service,
I'm not a candidate like you are
Receiving the motive of rejection,
Just like someone segregated
When I’m hospitalized in the state-run clinic,
I'm not the favorite patient like you are
Marginalized and discriminated,
Just like an outsider
When I choose religion,
I'm not faithful like you are
Restricted worship in a demolished mosque,
Just inhuman
While I'm in the orchestrated riot,
I'm not a survivor like you are
No assurance of safety,
Just like a rape victim
