She rises with sun
Giving light to the earth
And sleeps with stars
Ever since your birth
She weeps when you ail
She laughs when you sing
She is always full of love,
Be it autumn or spring
She lies to the world,
After you beat her,
“He is very kind and gentle”
She tells your neighbor
She hides her pain
But eyes can not lie
She lies to the world
But tears don’t lie
She lives for you,
And she dies for you
And when you find someone else
She leaves for you!!
She leaves your house
Which she built with her blood
And you treat her, as if
She is made of mud!!
Very silent and simple
She is lady of my valley
My heroes and my strength
All women of my valley
Hi Amina khan
Fantastic poetry I hop you will be the first women poet of Gojal try to use literal words in yours poetry. But really very nice and productive initiative, this expression shows yours love passion and devotion toward the area.
Well
Dear readers of PT,
It is indeed a marvellous initiative by Miss Amina to create a conducive environment through her NAMA especially towards the eradication of gender discrimination.
We have been having the issues of gender discrimination which is although not very much deep rooted compared to the areas found in our vicinity.
The concept of working together for a common cause and a common goal is really desired in our region.We need to open up our minds and come out of the boudaries developed because of the external intervention.We have a very sound back groud and enriched and value added cultural practices.It nevers teaches us the lessons of being narrow and conservative.
I hope women like Miss Amina will come forward and play their due role in changing the mindset for better future prospects.

thanks everyone for ur support, yes irfan u can
With very kind permission of you all… I just want to ask is this a literary appreciation or a bias one. I think one must be knowing something about poetics before writing. Its a suggestion. And amina frankly i do not see a single word that is capable of grabbing a soul. which is real essence of poetry.
