Respect Her Honour

I was returning home from work past 10 at night,

I did not know, it would result in a lifetime fight. 

A group of devils, on a silent street,

Attacked me and called it a treat.

Every means to escape I tried, 

In vain for help I cried, while my esteem broke inside. 

I went around asking for justice,

Not a single door did I miss.

While the number of people who sympathized were very less,

The rest of them blamed me for not wearing an appropriate dress.

Such humiliations no more give me a scare,

For sure, none of them will I spare.

We will not sit back crying over these woes,

With hope and strength we will get on our toes. 

My whole clan will I now empower,

As sisters and mothers,

Let's teach our sons and brothers

To respect our honour.
