DAY 1718
Jalsa, Mumbai Dec 29/30, 2012 Sat/Sun 1:56 AM

Anguished and disturbed at the events of the day … a day when we all hang our heads in shame … a day when we lost a daughter of India, brutally subjected to inhuman torture, I sit in the afternoon by myself and write some lines : I noticed the candles and the flower offerings at the site of the crime the entire day, from masses of our countrymen and women, paying their respects to the departed soul … and that is what inspired me for this :
समय चलते मोमबत्तियां, जल कर बुझ जाएँगी …
श्रद्धा में डाले पुष्प, जल हीन मुर्झा जायेंगे …
स्वर विरोध के और शांति के अपनी प्रबलता खो देंगे …
किन्तु ‘निर्भयता’ की जलाई अग्नि हमारे ह्रदय को प्रज्वलित करेगी …
जल हीन मुरझाये पुष्पों को हमारी अश्रु धाराएं जीवित रखेंगी …
दग्ध कंठ से ‘दामिनी’ की ‘अमानत’ आत्मा विश्व भर में गूंजेगी …
स्वर मेरे तुम, दल कुचलकर पीस न पाओगे …
मै भारत की माँ बहेंनिया बेटी हूँ ,
आदर और सत्कार की मै हक़दार हूँ …
भारत देश हमारी माता है ,
मेरी छोड़ो, अपनी माता की तो पहचान बनो !!
With the passage of time, the candles shall burn out and lose their flame ..
The flowers offered with devotion, shall in the absence of water, get dry and weathered out …
The voices of protest both vocal and silent, shall lose their strength ..
But the ‘fearless’ ( nirbhayata ) fire that has been ignited, shall rekindle the flames in our hearts ..
The waterless dry and weathered flowers, shall be brought to life drenched by the tears in our eyes ..
With burning throat the soul of ‘Damini’ and ‘Amaanat’, shall resound in the entire universe ..
My agonised voice you shall not ever crush or trample upon, for ..
I am the Mother, sister and daughter of my Bharat ..
Respect and dignity are my birthright possessions ..
Bharat the country is my Mother ..
Forget about me, become at least the recognised worthy face of your Mother ..!!
( ‘Damini’ and ‘Amaanat’ are the two names being used for her, as her actual details are not being given out. And another name being given to her is ‘Nirbhaya’, so “Nirbhayata” in the poem has been used not as a noun, but a state of being, almost verb or adverb like)

Good night … travel again tomorrow and so must rest … but rest from what ? the events from the last two weeks … ??
