Kanyadaan (The Social And Matrimonial Gifting Of A Daughter) Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Kanyadaan,
Mahadan,
Esase badhakar koi dana nahi,
The social and matrimonial gift of a daughter,
A greater gift,
There is no greater gift than this,
The father giving away his daughter
And she going as a newly-wed bride
To a new house
And now feel you what it is taking place
In her psyche,
How the condition of it?

How far is she going,
Leaving her home,
She is departing for a new man's house,
Leaving her kith and kin,
Near and dear ones,
Her blood relations,
She is departing,
Leaving for,
God knows, how will she adjust with,
How will she in her newly-found house?

Kanyadaan,
Mahadan,
The daughter is going to her in-laws' home,
Let it take place,
Do not disrupt it,
Do not disrupt it,
Kanyadaan,
Mahadan,
There is no greater than this,
The father giving away his daughter
And she going to the in-laws' house as a bride.
