The most dangeorus thing

this is a translation of one of the great poems titled - 'सब तो खतरनाक' of revolutionary poet Avtaar Singh Badhana 'पाश'.

to rob you of your hard earnings is not the most dangerous thing.
to face a third degree in a deep dark dungeon is not the most dangerous thing.
greed, dishonesty are the sinnest of the sins, but still are not the most dangerous things.

to lay mum even under the most grieve of the attrocities is surely bad, but not the most dangerous thing.
to just survive when you should have striven for better is surely bad, but not the most dangerous thing.

the most dangerous of the circumstances is -
the apathy with which you treat all sorrows around,
to be an automaton, go office from your home and rebound.

the most dangerous of the things is -
the self crucification of the dreams with no murmur or sound.
