Dear Daughter Determined Poem by Syed Moshahedul Haque

Called with the synonyms of Fatima, Mariam, Sita
Your greatness remains unmatched, unexplained
Scaling a new height with new patience and zeal
Left infallible print on the sands of time
You are the rhythm of life, proctor of discipline

Taught the world the etiquette of live and let live
Adorn the human life with vivid hues and values
A silent nourisher and sustainer of our rich culture
That binds in one community in one chain
Where love and harmony sprout and spread

Though victimized with men's ego, a brave sole
Remained perseverant in pursuit your lost identity
With strong voice and deeds, against all odds
Passed through the test of fire, justifying herself
Humanized the world bearing the balm of bias

What if you quit, a barren land stretched all around
Salute to your positivity, salute to your patience
You played many roles, with all master strokes
With each unmatched, unparalleled, dynamic move
Established your recognition in every walk of life

Thousands salutes to your efforts and sacrifices
That made the world a beautiful and livable place
And justifying the sense of a purposeful living
Smashed old orders spacing for new ones
Preserved human values into the bloody beasts
