पिता आखिर पिता है ...

A poem of Dr Sharad Singh

'फादर्स डे' पर... उन बेटियों की ओर से जिनकी ज़िन्दगी 

छीन ली गई वहशी दरिन्दों के हाथों ...

On 'Father's Day' ...Behalf of those daughters

 whose life was snatched by rapists ...

Father is a father after all...

Those daughters

was called their father

Father could not hear their cry

Could not save them from rapists

Still love daughters to their father

They know

Their father is weak, helpless

Is null before musclemen

If hears a shout

He runs to save

And killed

Those daughters from another world

Recalls

Love

His father

In the same way

As they would if alive

Though Helpless... father is a father after all...
