  Why is being a girl considered unlucky?
Why is a girl taken to be mucky?
Is being a girl a sin?
Why is a girl treated as a garbage bin?
This male dominated society is great
Girls always kept in a crate
Why the birth of a girl invites bad fate?
Why do girls suffer an outburst of hate?


Life of a girl is always committed
First, as a daughter, to her father
Then, as a wife, to her husband
Next, as a mother, to her children
Doesn’t a girl have a right to live her own life?
But, have you ever heard her complaining?
Or, ever seen her grieving or moaning?
Right from her birth, till her death
What girl gets, is only revulsion, till her last breath


Girl child is killed before birth
No chance given to come into this world and mirth
The day when a girl is born
The whole family seems to mourn
The day when a girl is born
The whole world seems to be as prickly as a thorn
A girl is taken to be a curse for every one
As each family yearns for a son!


Rules are a bane of a girl’s living
Girls are only meant for giving
A girl’s life is full of responsibilities
Be it in villages or be it in cities
Can’t a girl exist for one’s own self?
And live a self- supported life without anybody’s help!
O God! Shower your divine grace
Form a serene world, which brings a smile on every girl’s face!

 

This is my prayer to you, O deity!
Save the sinking world of a girl and have some pity!
