[Intro]
If only she lived in a better world, a better place, far away from this wretched world that we are a part of
Things would have turned out different, if only
[Verse 1]
Unnis ki thi woh in a different universe
Jab TV ko kara on, Nirbhaya didn’t occur
Everything was quite normal, she focused on her studies
And raste raat ke safe, naa eve-teasing ka darr
Thi doctor ban'ne ki khwahish toh NEET ko kara clear
MBBS paanch saal, post grad' ko then appear
Admission achhe ek college mein, parents ko karna proud tha
Surakshit thi ye duniya, public transport pе naa doubt tha
[Bridge]
Jaha rishwat lete police nahi (Jaha rishwat lеte police nahi)
And our leaders, they ain’t corrupted (And our leaders, they ain’t corrupted)
Jis dharti par puje Durga ko (Jis dharti pe puje Durga ko)
Hota Mahishasuron ka vadh bhi wahi (Hota Mahishasuron ka vadh bhi wahi)
Woh samaj naa victim ko hi blame (Woh samaj naa victim ko hi blame)
Aur apraadhiyon ko mile bail nahi (Aur apraadhiyon ko mile bail nahi)
Maane jis Bharat ko apni mata hum (Maane jis Bharat ko apni mata hum)
Apmaan uske betiyon par sehte nahi (Apmaan uske betiyon par sehte nahi)
[Verse 2]
Kadi mehnat aur merit ke bal pe R. G. Kar
Bani PG student trainee doctor, sincere thi bohot (Sincere thi bohot)
'Cause jaanein bachana, that’s what she meant to do
Workin' endlessly and sometimes sleeplessly too
Ikkatis ki only 'n' a long life ahead
Sapne PHD ke, gotta do something for mum and dad (Something for mum and dad)
Devoted physician apni thi duty pe
Her friends used to like her work ethic and appreciate
Aur aisi ek shift mein August 8 ki raat
Thirty-six hours ki duty aur kadi daud-bhaag
Usne jo kara ek call, bataya maa ko apni
"Maa tumi kheye shuye poro, ami thik achi"
She ordered food at 1 a.m. with her colleagues
Celebrating the news of silver by NC (NC)
Jab hua time for her friends and for her to leave
That’s when a thought stopped her from the room that she was enterin'
She had a feeling, usse ghar ko waapas jaana chahiye
Its better to sleep at home that she was super tired
Straight to the arms of her mother, hectic friday
So she went home 3 a.m. 9 August ki morning (9 August ki morning)
[Verse 3]
Kaash ye hota toh ab bhi hoti woh zinda
Kaash ye hota toh hoti naa uski hatya
Kaash naa khote ek aur promising beti ko
Now the damage is done 'cause we fed our daughters to predators
Kaash jo chalta aspataalon mein koi racket naa
Kaash hamare principals bhi hote imaandaar
Kaash ye politics insaaf ka naa kaatil banta
Azaad hoke naa azaad, kaun zimmedaar?
Kaash naa koi maa-baap ko aisi dukh mile
Kaash hamari police bhi hoti vigilant
Kaash naa rehti woh haivaniyat ki duniya mein
Kanyashree Diwas, 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 naa apne desh mein rape har ek saulaah minute
Kaash naa 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 naa kisi ka file, court ke chakkar khaaye
Kaash naa pita, beti ki chita khud jalaaye
Kaash aur kaash se ranga laal tiranga apna
Draupadi ke sau chillane pe isiliye naa Govind aaye
