Pretension

Let us protest the inner pretension.

Let us not say daughter is equal to son.

When we bring fake smiles upon birth of daughter,

Celebrating it for society not for our pride or ostentation.

With the advent of son,

Inner celebration matches with the outer society.

We impart education to girls,

Aiming to search for her qualified bridegrooms 

As if they are the white burdens 

Of the family.

Sons are encouraged to do higher study even if the standard doesn't permit.

Yes, sons are considered to act for the bosom of family 

And daughters, the visible burden.

If son is prodigal,

Parents hope for the return of prodigal son 

And if the girl is a prodigy,

Rarely she wins attention.

Yes,

Let us protest the inner pretension 

And 

Let us not say daughter is equal to son.
