The Man Behind SuperHeavy's Satyameva Jayate Lyrics

MUMBAI: While all are applauding Mick Jagger, AR Rahman and the rest of the SuperHeavy team—Joss Stone, Dave Stewart and Damian Marley—for Satyameva Jayate,... not many have taken note of the lyricist behind the song—Raqueeb Alam. The talented writer has collaborated with Oscar-winning AR Rahman several times in the past, too, including on Ringa Ringa... from Slumdog Millionaire as well as other compositions including Ada, Blue and Connections.

When ARji asked me to write lyrics for this track, I was really happy,... said Raqueeb Alam. I believed that through this song I could write down what my heart felt and have it reach out to audiences—There is only one God—Satya/Truth—and there is only one religion—Satya/Truth—and if one accepts Truth then they can be successful in life. People aren't able to find happiness even through earning lots of money but are able to find happiness through finding truth and Lord Buddha is an example of this, so we should join hearts with truth and not break hearts for false happiness. I am thankful to ARji for giving me the golden opportunity to write this historical song....
