They Don't Know !
So you ask everybody,
Who is the rich man in here?
They will utter the name of my Baba
Why, you don't know ?Tripathi Singh Ji it is!

Baba has got a big Mansion
A daughter of great passion
Our family is an inspiration
to the countless people who look up to us for their ration
I am one lucky girl,oft they say,
what more I want.. they ask..
I smile sheepishly
they don't know!oh!they don't know..

They don't know the scars I hide
behind the turtle-neck sweaters
they don't know the countless times
I sought to escape..
to the wide open landscape..
they don't know I live the life of a puppet
they don't know Baba is the culprit.

They don't know I am the caged bird..
and that my future is blurred..
Bound to serve some filthy rich man
living in a bigger Mansion.
21 years in this prison not living my own life
now I am here waiting to be someone's wife.

The scars are barely covered by the
lace wedding lehenga
"One lucky girl!" someone muttered..
They don't know!OH! they don't know!!
I sighed.
