O that , I was not princess Latifa !

  






Shoot me dead here ,  O Indian soldiers ;

send me not back to that stifling palace , 

That emotionless king and loveless home . 

Set me free from that forced marriage

Performed in the famous Burj khalifa . 

Let me run away a thousand miles 

From that rich cruel king , my father . 



O that , I was not  princess Latifa ! 

I wish I was born in a poor  hut! 

Take away my jewellery and royal name .

Take away my palace and treasures .

Take away all my royal days .

Take away all that makes me princess. But , let me live a day of freedom . 

Let me live a day of true joy . 




A princess is nothing but a caged bird , 

A born slave or a helpless prisoner. 

Honour,  , blood , rank and  royalty–

For these empty and  hollow bubbles ,

All my cherished dreams were dashed ;

All my just desires were suppressed ;

All my freedom was ruthlessly snatched. 

Take all I have , I do not care .

Only let me live my life my way !

Only let me breathe in some fresh air !
