The Muslim girl child
must be thoroughly
educated
on her two feet
must be taught to stand
her growth our growth
their future
lies in our hand
unfortunately
the relics
the antiquarians
the rigid clergy
does not wish
to understand
the Muslim girl child
her path ahead
we have to plan
changing times
changing needs
create a changing
demand
Islam a torch bearer
of human love
peace and brotherhood
Hindus Muslims
Christians Sikhs
living peacefully
mutually in this
beautiful land
