Ek Awaaz Uthakar to Dekho

A poem in wake of the Delhi gang rape case. It's for those you think that this issue is related to particular person or a region. This might not help but collectively, we can make a difference.

'Ek Awaaz Uthakar to Dekho'

Kab talak yeh sochkar chhup rahogey,
Ki uss ghar mein aag lagi hain.

Pata bhi na chalega aur,
Ek chigaari tumhaarey ghar bhi aa gireygi.

Royoge bahut, chillaogey tab;
Naa ayega jab koi,
Tab shayad yeh dard samajh paoge.

Aag chaahei'n jaha'n lagey,
Iski lapet mein har koi giraft hota hain.

Aaj gar na roka isse,
Kal tumhara ghar bhi sulag jayega.

Aao aaj awaaz uthayei'n;
Kisi ek ke khaatir nahi,
Janhit ke khaatir, hum ek ho jaayei'n.

Hain asar bahut awaaz-e-awaam mein,
Khud ko kamzor samajhne ki bhool na karna.

Har-su badlega yaha'n ik roz,
Tum fakt ek awaaz uthakar to dekho.
