Freedom

As I wage a war of one,

My armaments can't fail me now, 

My heart whispers to my shrewd mind 

And I offer her vermilion,

But society objects, 

I offer her bangles,

But taboo proscribes, 

I offer her sacred thread, 

But blue blood threatens 

For honour killing.

Can't a widow remarry, 

Can't she choose her new life 

With a new partner, I raise question? 

I can't allow evil eye to fall on her, 

I can't allow her to live insipid life, 

I can't allow her to drop tears silently, 

I love her, I want to own her. 

Yes, Oh! The blind society, 

Stop me if you can, 

I am going to write my epic of love. 

I am going to stand as her saviour, 

I am going to stand as her partner, 

Nobody can sabotage her freedom, 

Nobody can demolish her happiness.
