–Anya Gupta

In a world full of men,

Dominating others,

It is hard for girls to study

Who are only expected to be mothers.

But one girl came through,

Her eyes shining bright,

She guided women on the path of education

With a few words of might.

She said girls are not silhouettes,

To be hidden from the world,

They should also have education

To be strong and bold.

But some fanatic believers

Did not approve of this,

They hid near her school bus,

And shot her without a miss

But still she fought,

Dauntless she was,

And saw to it, that girls got education

Without a second thought.

She is the kind of girl,

Who holds her head high,

Capture her by storm ;

But she won’t let you break her

She is strong, she is unique

With a will stronger than steel

And substantiated pride,

She created her own resplendence and light

She emerged a warrior through the tempests,

Rising winsome and alluring from the ashes,

She is driven and tenacious,

She is strong, she is vivacious.
