Reyhaneh Jabari-Girl Hero Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Reyhaneh Jabari-Girl hero
Sunday,27th June 2021

She was hanged
for countering the rape attempt
the Iranian court gave an order
hanged to death for a particular counter

she not only managed
but kept at bay
the rapist
and resisted

the rapist was insured in chest
the girl could her best
to protect her modesty
and integrity

they could have gone to the extent
of presenting a bravery award
with word of 'holy character'
who defended her honour

in my country or elsewhere
she could defend her
appealed to all peace-loving
and make-believe attempt for defending the cause

she is no more in this world
she is hanged with a death award
it is not only unjust
but speaks of mistrust step thrust upon
