Soni Pande

क्या फिर से कली खिल रही संभल कर थोड़ा आज? 
क्या फिर से कोई समंदर करना है इसे पार?
क्या फिर से वीराने में उड़ रहा एक बाज़?
क्या फिर से एक नारी की इज़्ज़त हुई नीलाम?
क्या फिर से एक इंसान ने इंसान को हराया?
क्या फिर से इसकी क़ीमत बच्चों ने चुकाया?
क्या फिर से कोई देश है बिकने को तैयार?
क्या फिर से कोई दे रहा नफ़रत का पैग़ाम?

Kya Phir Se Kali Khil Rahi Sambhal Kar Thoda Aaj?
Kya Phir Se Koi Samundar Karna Hai Ise Paar?
Kya Phir Se Virane Mein Udd Raha Hai EK Baaz?
Kya Phir Se Ek Naari Ki Izzat Hui Nilaam?
Kya Phir Se Ek Insaan Ne Insaan Ko Haraya?
Kya Phir Se Iski Qeemat Bachchon Ne Chukaya?
Ky Phir Se Koi Desh Hai Bikne Ko Taiyaar?
Kya Phir Se Koi De Raha Nafrat Ka Paigaam?

Does the tender bud delay its bloom once more?
Must she traverse the seas of uncertainty once more?
In desolation’s realm, does the falcon surge once more?
Has a woman’s dignity been violated once more?
Has humanity, in strife, its own kin overthrown?
Does the children bear burdens not their own once more?
Is a nation, once proud, now ready to be sold?
Is hatred’s bitter message being buzzed once more?

1-Kali/Tender bud: Teenagers fear growing up and facing the world. Especially in cases of restricted liberty.
2-Crossing the sea: Women need to face the challenges in this world.
3-Falcon represents the men, and the mean world.
4-The burden falls on children, signifying that they endure the consequences of war. Additionally, during their upbringing, children are often taught about the differences that exist among individuals, such as religion, race, culture, social status, and more. In the end, such children bear the brunt.
