Many Girls Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Deaths unnecessary]
Caused to so many
For us to worry
And feel sorry

Death is a real destiny
But not caused by natural calamity
It is due to our greed and lust
As loss of confidence and trust

To have daughter is not curse
But we have made it of course
We demand lots of things in marriage
Bring her in family for use as carriage

Many families still believe
With adoption of old customs and believe
The dowry system is in order
And seek lucrative offer

Many girls commit suicide
So far, many might have died
Either by hanging
Or by burning
