Not Daughter But A Guest Poem by Lity Munshi

Her last day here
She has born, grown up
As guest, one day to leave

Marriage is name
A bridge she has to cross
Being daughter, nwver to return

Today she is getting married
An unknown place
Unknown people, their types of living
Unfamiliar than her birth place
She used to know that is home
Her parents told she is treasure
Belong to else house for the man
At right time

Today is the day
In name of marriage
She has to transform all ideas about
What is belong to her
What does not

They have said, she has strength
To change herself according
Demand of people and the place

Though she is scared
Unknown unfair Unfamiliar world
Woman, transforming phase to phase
During her strange life

She is born migrant
No house is her
Leaving a home in search of home
No one knows, her heart is
Homeless forever
