On April 26, actor and producer Farhan Akhtar, who
campaign called MARD (Men Against Rape and Discrimination), will
distribute 70,000 moustaches during the match to raise awareness
about gender inequality and women's safety. That's not all. Farhan will also read out a poem, in Hindi, penned by his
father, the renowned lyricist Javed Akhtar; singer Shaan will read the
poem in Bengali and former cricketer, politician and television
motormouth Navjot Singh Sidhu will read it out in Punjabi. Farhan has also roped in Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta to shoot
promos for the campaign. SRK sports a MARD moustache on one of
them. This is the first time MARD is holding an awareness campaign on
such a big scale. Farhan has urged his Twitter and Facebook fans to adopt the message
the poem conveys. "It can only spread as a pyramid effect through you," he tweeted. So what are you waiting for? If you believe in the cause of gender
equality, when Farhan reads out the poem, read it out with him. THE POEM: Jiski aakhon mein hain jagmagati hui jaise gehri sharafat ki ek roshni
Jiske andaaz mein ek tehzeeb hain
Jiske lahje mein narmi hain
Jiske dil mein bhi aur jiski baaton mein bhi
Aurat ke vaaste poori izzat bhi hain,
poora aadar bhi hain Jisko aurat ke tan mann ka,
jeevan ka sammaan hain
Aurat ke aatm-sammaan ka jisko
har ek pal dhyaan hain
Jo kabhi ek pal bhi nahi bhoolta
aurat insaan hain Jisko apni bhi pehchaan hain
Jisme shakti bhi hain
Jisme himmat bhi hain
Jisme gaurav bhi hain, aatm-vishwas hain
Jo agar saath hain
Jo agar paas hain Uske hone se aurat ko apni suraksha
ka ehsaas hain
Woh jo aurat ka ek sacha saathi hain,
Ek dost hain, ek hamdard hain
Sach toh yeh hain
Wahi mard hain
