You were considered evil and impure
Endless and intolerable pains you had to endure
For your father and brother you were always a load
Painful obstacles forever blocked your life’s road
Religion after religion came on this earth
Yet cursed the one responsible for man’s birth
Then came the true divine master of creation
Made you a princess and blessed you with jubilation
Starting from Bibi Nanki, my Guru Nanak Dev Jee’s sister
All the way to the Khalsa mothers who suffered every blister
Sacrificed their husbands, brothers and sons
Some to cruel swords, others to fanatic guns
Not a single cry was ever heard from their mouth
Their glory is sung today from the north to the south
Not a wrinkle on their foreheads, not a drop in their eyes
Bowing before their feet one sees the seven skies
But today when I look around it pains my soul
Seeing Gurujee’s daughters forget their goal
Disowning their history, faith and culture
Running after lust, that wretched dark vulture
Disrespecting their body in many disgusting ways
Shying away from all of the Eternal Lord’s plays
Losing their purity and then peace of mind
Falling prey to worldly pleasures that later get unkind
I am no one who has any license to teach
Can’t be a preacher as I am myself a leech
But this much prayer I shall offer at your feet
Wishing that someday the Lord we all can meet
This much prayer I offer with folded hands
That your fame stretches across all possible lands
And the last few words that I have got to express
Are from my inner being and not just to impress
Blessed are you, oh Kaur! For you have prepared
Lions for the battle from whom tyrants are scared
Blessed are you, oh Kaur! For yours is the glory
Which strikes terror within the merciless and the gory
Blessed are you, oh Kaur! Unaware of what is pain
Yearning for martyrdom, not once but again and again
Blessed are you, oh Kaur! With you is my Guru Gobind Singh
Your True Father, True Mother, and True Eternal King
Feel proud! You are Gurujee’s princesses!
