After a 7-year long legal battle, Nirbhaya and her family have finally got justice. As per reports by ANI, the court issued death warrants against all 4 convicts, and the date of their hanging has been fixed on 22nd January. The convicts will be hanged in Tihar jail in Delhi at 7 am.
In order to celebrate this winning moment, we are sharing the beautiful heart-wrenching poem that Amitabh Bachchan narrated on the death of Nirbhaya 7 years ago. Nirbhaya – a young girl who was brutally gang-raped and assaulted on the moving bus and was later thrown on the roads to die.
In this video before narrating the poem, you can hear him saying how sad and depressed he is as Nirbhaya has left us.
Samay Chaltey Mombatiyan, Chal Kar Bujh Jayeingi,
Shradha Mein Dale Pushp, Jal Heen Murjha Jayeingein,
Swar Viroddh Ke Aur Shanti Ke Apni Prabalta Kho Dengein,
Kintu ‘Nirbhyata’ Ki Jalai Agni Humarey Hridhyon Ko Prajwalit Karegi,
Jal Heen Murjhaye Pushpon Ko Humari Ashru Dharayein Jeevit Rakheingi,
Dagdh Kandh Se Damini Ki Amanat Aatma Viswa Bhar Mein Ghoonjegi,
Swar Mere Tum, Dal Kuchalkar Pis Na Paogey,
Main Bharat Ki Ma, Behen Yaan Beti Hoon,
Aadar Aur Satkar Ki Main Hakdar Hoon,
Bharat Desh Humari Mata Hai,
Meri Chodho, Apni Mata Ki Toh Pehchaan Bano!!
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 !!
