Daughter of Fire
Daughter of Fire
The Fire Born Princess,
The Holy Goddess,
Pride of the Pandava,
Friend of Madhava.
My tales reached the masses,
But the cries went unheard,
Cause I was the major of the war's causes.
My Birth was a plan to revenge on my father's clan.
In Swayamavar saw the mighty Partha,
dressed as a saint
With whom I was excited to acquaint myself.
The respected mother of the Pandavas who asked me to be shared
Mother's word are equal to god my beloved declared
I was to marry all of them
My fate had decided
Never once in it all Arjuna chided
I was hailed as the Lucky bride
Of the Kuru clan, I was proud
How was I supposed to know my smile won't last a mile?
The doomed game was now in session
The upholder of dharma lost his possession
Drag her by hair the uncouth one declared
Humiliated in the court even my soul wasn't spared
The elders and learned kept quiet
Hundreds of eyes but none to see my plight
My husbands had their heads bowed
Helplessness in their eyes clearly showed
Called out To Govind to put my misery to end
Indeed was he an true friend
We lost the palace lost our peace
But our sorrows were just about to increase
12 years spend in exile
The unjust rejoiced while
My fate was supposed to be happy feature
Wouldn't have agreed if I knew my future
The mighty Pandavas were now mere servant
But to my plight, they were still unobservant
Soon the testing times ended We learnt our lessons Bitter and Sweet
We're prepared for Adharam to defeat
The war began the pilage came undone
Adharma was finally condemn
Arjun was guided by the cow herder
Abhimanyu become the victim of cowards
Millions killed on both side
Blamed was the Pandav bride
The bringer of war, I was called
My pride and anger were the root cause
The doomed queen I was
Lost my son and my brother
The greatest curse for a sister and mother
Blamed and shamed I could only cry
Did my loss had no price
Years from now it will be a cautionary tale
Women cause war they'll say
Does justice for us has no importance
Or Cause it agrees to society's accordance
