Yesterday I read this poem in a gathering for Hindi Diwas.

After reciting I sat down and looked at it.

How impossible is the situation today, however ? 

The poet is encouraging the protagonist to venture out and expect the Best out in the world. Realty is the opposite today and it's worsening day by day. 

Our leadership is watching silently. They are no longer seized of the women's plight anymore. 

No woman, girl, mother or grandmother is guaranteed safety anymore. Isn't this a ticking time bomb for humanity when India which has 140 crore people, half of them are growingly unsafe ??? 

Why are we silent and blind to this horrible trend when it's rising as a tsunami and taking over every part of the country ? 

Why administrative reforms are not top of the agenda of our leaders ? 

Have we lost the will to bring a change for women to our justice system ? 

Read this poem and then see the news in the image. People are just busy trying to protect false reputations of institutions which have lost much respect of the general public due to this. 

We need police reforms in 2024. 

Here's the poem : 

JYON NIKAL KAR BAADALON KI GOD SE

THI ABHI EK BOOND KUCH AAGE BARHI

SOCHNE PHIR PHIR YAHI MAN ME WO LAGI

AAH KYON GHAR CHOR KAR MEIN YUN CHALI

DAIV MERE BHAGYA MAIN HAI KYA BADA

MEIN BACHUNGI YA MILOONGI DHOOL MAIN

YA JALOONGI GIR ANGARE PAR KISI

JAA PADOONGI YA KAMAL KE PHOOL MAIN

BEH GAI US PAL IK AISI HAWA

WEH SAMUNDAR OR AAYI ANMANI

EK SUNDAR SEEP KAA MUNH THA KHULA

WO USI MAIN JAA PARI MOTI BANI

LOG YUNHI HAI JHIJHAKTE SOCHTE

JAB KI UNKO CHORNA PARTA HAI GHAR

KINTU GHAR KO CHOORNA AKSAR UNHAIN

BOOND SA KUCH AUR HI DETA HAI KAR...
