You should have an existence of your own,
This is the dream that I have sown.
Don’t get lost in this crowd,
Do stand apart and make yourself feel proud.
You always sacrifice yourself for others,
Retaining many oceans of sorrows.
Sometimes mother, sometimes wife, sometimes sister,
Who gives her best in every character.
Buried deep down are your desires,
Which are burnt in various pyres.
Your own life has been a complex plot,
To others you taught to untie the knot.
A world of compassion and humility you encapsulate,
which is difficult to emulate.
The one who is your groom,
Steps forward to trample you soon.
Every single moment you die,
Those are concealed in your eyes.
For every one you are a burden,
But they don’t realize the potential hidden.
Don’t get disappointed, have faith,
For your flight will be great.
Don’t question the law of nature,
It’s the society that makes you such a creature.
I salute you, O Women!
For under your feet there is heaven.
