In the echo of slogans, a promise we weave,
Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, a chant we believe.
In the tale is half told and the truth is not so sweet.
For safety exclusive where shadows still creep.
Success blooms bright, dreams take their flight.
Yet the shadows of dangers linger in the night.
Let our actions be more than slogans we say,
Let the world change to keep shadows at bay.
Changes must be more than words and page,
It’s time for a world where they’re safe at each stage.
A graceful girl just six months old,
With a princess twirl and story not so old.
Her journey begun with a gentle breeze,
Her tragedy so stubborn made her freeze.
Cuts on her body of regrets and reliefs,
This was the story her life briefs.
Not just one child but many daughters grown up,
Her struggle begins when he threw at her a cup.
Blood in eyes, not just tears,
It was the only time in life for fears.
He just plucked her like flower,
But what about her dream of becoming a star.
No one catches him… Why?
Why only girls leaving this world with a sigh?
We seek for justice and another murder,
Leave me please was her last scutter.
He killed her to be safe,
But one day of this life will just leave him like a waif.
Not all men but there’s always a man,
Why are there just a few left as gentleman?
The pain, the blood, the story of the cruel night, we will never forget,
This world needs to promise that every girl will be safe and set.
