A dirge from Aasifa
I was a pure-hearted soul,
Innocence would live in myself.
I was a girl,
Who always kept a stoic attitude.
I was a girl,
Of a proud nation.
I was a girl,
Who always remained loyal to her family.
Never had I thought of,
Becoming prey to some savages.
Never had I thought of,
Undergoing something strange.
Never had I thought of,
Reaching death this way!
Never had I thought of,
Seeing my corpse lying in the woods!
Never had I thought of people creating hullabaloo-
In favour of my culprits who spoiled my fragile soul!
Never had I thought of people deferring punishment for the culprits.
But-
I was born to teach you a lesson.
I was born to protect the other same like me.
And-
I was born to be remembered each passing day!
