“Nirbhaya” is the name they address you with,
Something that means ‘One who's fearless’,
But something that happened which was so
terrible,
It was something that was truly shameless!!
In order to save the ‘brave heart’,
there wasn’t much one could really do,
It would be unfair if we say, ‘we can
understand what she went through’!!
Maybe she died well before she was
declared dead,
And later all this nation saw, was every
genuine heart with a mourned head!
In the entire episode, what was her fault?
Was it her beauty or her feminine gender?
That ended up bringing her life to a halt?
Who gave them the right of sabotaging her life?
Why couldn't they think off their
mother, sister or a wife?
What’s the point when the person is gone, and…
What’s the point when the person is gone, and…
The whole nation now, demonstrating
their strife!!
With the verdict being out,
The whole world may be in a state of
exult,
However, there's still one left who
might be glad,
As per the law, he’s still innocent and
he cannot be termed an adult!
Death sentence is a punishment, not a
solution,
Being a female is a gift too, we need to
flush all other illusions,
Can there really be a penalty to make
someone kind?
Or a tablet to cure something, that is
an illness of a mind?
Thousands of candles at India Gate,
Still, inundate cases pending in the
plate,
Is there really a solution we plan to
come up with?
Or are we just signifying it as a
chapter of their fate?
“Nirbhaya” is the name they address you
with,
Something that means ‘One who's
fearless’,
But something that happened which was so
terrible,
It was something that was truly
shameless!!
