'Dowry' Poem by Dr Arshia Sheikh

Accept the love of your educated wife,

Money can't be the solution of your strife.

Being gentle is enough for you,

Respect her emotion by being loyal and true.

If dowry is the condition of your marriage,

You are disrespecting womanhood.

Ensure the respect of your lady whom you love,

Believe me, you will be honoured and wished with luck.

Taking dowry is like selling your soul,

Choose integrity that must be your goal.
