निशकामिनी


 मौन हूँ, निःशब्द नहीं।

आवाज़ हूँ

बस बोलती नहीं।।

जज़्बात है 

मुंह खोलती नहीं।

चाहत है

किसी से उम्मीद नहीं।।

आते जाते कई लोग मिले,

कूछ याद रहे, कुछ याद बने।।

कुछ साथ चले, चलते ही रहे।

जो चल न सके, किरदार बने।।

पहल न करूं

किसी से डरती नहीं।

जीत की चाह नहीं

हार मानती नहीं।।

दुनिया में अपना किरदार कुछ

इस तरह से निभाना।

की अगर कोई आपके बारे में

गलत भी कहे, तो लोग उस पर

विश्वास न करे।।

मोहताज नहीं किसी ग़ालिब की

वो बागबान है, इस कायनात की

में हूँ निशकामिनी।।

Her Hues


To her glory, to the movers, the makers, the

hustlers, the shakers

Your worth is not in the things you do,

your worth lies in your care and through.

To those who shout loud, who stand strong,

and when needed those who quietly move on.

You go beyond your limit in life,

you are so strong from the inside.

To those who build empires, move mountains

push boundaries, raise babies,

make memories and refuse to take no 

for an answer. You the ladies paving the way

for a new generation, who are ready to play.

You are there for people you love 

all the while, stand tall and stand proud for all

 that you are.

You are a true woman of substance, being so 

pure and true.

She is a storm a magnificent force

writing her story in the lighting.

They tried to burn her, not knowing 

she was a flame.

But she is the force of supreme standing 

now and amazing.

Not to be judged, not to be toyed, not to be 

belittled, but to be cherished, 

to be admired and to be loved.

For she is a phenomenal woman with her hues.
