भवतु सब्ब मंगलं

Sometimes

The best of our intentions

Twist in the wind

And become

Papercuts

अब्रू

This is to announce in public awareness

The Bulls are in full throttle today

And they shall be herding through

You are to lie down quietly 

Your honour is for nation's stake

Your intelligence, your dignity

Your sensitivity, all your soft parts

Are mandatory sacrificial offerings

For our nation's image

You are to comply, to obey

Later,

When the Bulls are done

You may cry in a jail

Or you can flee at your will

Trailing your blood-soaked dupatta

रचीत

When all names are nouns

You stand out alone

As an adjective
