If only Lyrics

If only she lived in a better world

A better place

Far away from this wretched world we are a part of

Things would have turned out different

If only

19 ki thi wo

In a different universe

Jab TV ko kara on

Nirbhaya didn't occur

Everything was quite normal

She focused on her studies

& raste raat ke safe

Na eve-teasing ka darr

Thi Doctor banne ki khwaish

Toh NEET ko kara clear

MBBS 5 saal

Post Grad (Neet PG) ko then appear,

Admission ache ek college mein

Parents ko karna proud tha

Surakshit thi ye duniya

Public Transport pe na doubt tha

Jahaan rishvat lete police nahi

& aur leaders, they ain't corrupted

Jis dharti pe puje Durga ko

Hota Mahisaasuron ka vadh bhi wahi

Woh samaj na victim ko hi blame

Aur aparadhiyon ko mile bail nahi

Mane jis Bharat ko apni mata hum

Apmaan uske betiyon par, sehte nahi

Kadi mehnat aur merit ke bal pe RG Kar

Bani PG student trainee doctor, sincere thi boht

Cus jaane bachana

That's what she meant to do

Working endlessly & sometimes sleeplessly too

31 only a long life ahead

Sapne phd ke

Gotta do something for mum & dad

Devoted physician, apni thi duty pe

Her friends, used to like her

Work ethic & appreciate

Aur aisi ek shift mein

August 8 ki raat

36 hours

Ki duty aur kadi daud bhaag

Usne jo kara ek call,

Bataya ko ma apni,

'Ma tumi kheye shuey poro

Ami thik achi'

She ordered food, at 1AM

With her colleagues

Celebrating the news

Of silver by NC (Neeraj Chopra)

Jab hua time, for her friends

& for her to leave

And that's when a thought stopped her,

From the room that she was entering

She had a feeling

Use ghar ko waapis jana chahiye

It's better to sleep at home,

That she was super tired

Straight to the arms of her mother

Hectic friday

So she went home

3AM 9 AUGUST ki morning

Kaash ye hota toh ab bhi hoti woh zinda

Kaash, ye hota toh hoti na uski hatya

Kaash na khote, ek aur promising beti ko

Now the damage is done 'cus we fed our daughters to predators

Kaash jo chalta haspatalon mein koi racket na

Kaash hamare principals, bhi hote imandaar

Kaash ye politics, insaaf ka na qaatil banta

Azaad Hoke Na Azaad kaun zimmedaar?

Kaash, na koi ma baap ko aisi dukh mile

Kaash, hamari police bhi hoti vigilant

Kaash, na rehti woh haivaniyat ki duniya mein

Kanyashree divas? Jab kanyaon ki hoti hatya hai?

Kaash, hamare countrymen we had a conscience

Kaash, no patriarchy, no societal ills

Kaash hoti hamari reed ki haddi, to speak

Hote na apne desh mein rape,

Har ek 16 min

Kaash na hota scaw division ki zaroorat kabhi

Kaash no cover ups, murder ain't a suicide

Kaash, 'harassing' was never this effing normal

Ram ki janmabhumi par never a Sita could survive

Kaash na kisi ka file, court ke chakkar khaye

Kaash na pita, beti ki chita khud jalaye

Kaash aur kaash se ranga laal tiranga apna

Draupadi ke sau chillane pe isiliye na govind aye
