I am a feminist. I’ve been female for a long time now. I’d be stupid not to be on my own side.

you may beat the drum and proclaim that you rule the universe but without Truth and self-realization death hovers over your head like the rest of us
sabh jag meh dhohi feriay bin navay ssir kaal gurunanak(sriraag)
the world is deceived by youth, money, greed and egotism the drug of emotional attachment has destroyed me, just like its destroyed the whole world
dhan joban jjag thugia labh lobh ahunkaar moh thugoli hoi mueesa vartay sunsaar
gurunanak(sriraag)
the self-abosrbed make fierce plans and calculations about how life will pass but the Universe will take its course no one can estimate it, despite our longings and wishes
munmukh gunhuth gunhavarnhi karta karay so hoi taa kee keemath na pvay jey lochay sabh koi gurunanak(sriraag)
we praise ourselves and believe that we are the greatest but really, we are unaware of ourselves and thus nothing can be accomplished if you only speak of greatness
sabh salahay aap ko vado vaderi hoi gur bin aap na chiniay kahay suunhay kiaa hoi gurunanak(sriraag)
everyone begs for happiness no one asks for suffering but in the wake of happiness, there come great suffering the self-abosrbed don't understand this
sukh ko magay sabh ko dukh na magay koi sukhay ko dukh ugla mumukh booj na hoi gurunanak(sriraag)
the Universal Energy distributes truth and spreads truth one who recognizes the Universal Energy as true that humble being is absorbed in the truth
saach varthay sacha pasaar
parbrhaam jin sach kar jata
nanak so jan sach smata
guru arjan dev
in an instant the Divine establishes and disestablishes through the Universal Energy, I frighten you
khin meh thap uthapanhara tis tay tujeh dhravuh ray
guru arjan dev
those who realize the eternal unchanging knowledge of the Divine they are immortal they cross over the terrifying world-ocean in an instant, the ocean in only a bubble of water
jinoh baath nischal throo jaani taey jeev kaal taey bchaa
tin tareo sumudr rudr khin ik meh jalhar binb jugth jag rchaa
bhatt gayandh
when doubts are eliminated then you will be in ecstasy
gayia bharam rehhea parmanandha
kabeer ji
everyone says 'i will die, i will die' but the souls that die with intuitive understanding, become immortal
marno maray khay sabh koiee
sehjay maray amar hoye soiee
kabeer ji
the life of my soul is with the Universal Energy
saadha meh eyyh humri jindh

how do you convince a woman
how do you convince
a woman
that she is a
glowing ball of inferno
that the
world is afraid of her very existence
because
she has the ability to create
an army of
lovers&revolutionaries
she can
tear the universe apart
with her
honey caressed love
how do you tell her
that she is
everything
without a man
that there is
nothing
stronger than her independence
and patriarchy&misogyny
could never
touch her tender body
how do you teach her
to love womanhood&sisterhood
that her body,
filled with its wonders
are all purely breathtaking
that her hair is the
soul’s way of showing her
warmth on lonely&cold nights
how do you assure her
that the power
of the cosmos
belongs to a woman’s mind
because
today is the
last day
she will believe she is
less
a.k
a widow's cry for justice
is it unnecessary attachments
is it ego
when you
demand for your people
is it ever too much
to invest
in the search
for a sense of
humanity, equality, sanity
the conclusion I have drawn
is that pain&wanting
like hers
is impossible
to put into
words of desperation&metaphors
there is
nothing that will romanticize
a widow’s cry for justice
there is nothing that can
mask her
cracking voice
that still
booms with
every memory she has
etched onto her tongue
but
she is
done being the victim
there is a thousand things
she wills to change
with her mahogany cane
her nights are filled with
conversations
held for her lover
she is
a drop of wild fury
with every crowd she greets
every officer she
repeats her story to
with every longing glance
she stretches to the
blank faces of the crowd
hoping
that the world would spin
her chunni glimmer
and give her
another glance of her
dead son
maybe her dead father
her dead lover
her dead sister
but
her Divine is testing her
waiting for her to
arouse revolutionaries
that will
put their women first
and let them
tear open fresh wounds
because
nothing heals better
than the freshness of pain
that lulls you to sleep
but
you see
the healing will never cease
we are too afraid
to be alive
to be young
we are afraid to demand
elaborate accommodations for
women that set
fire to the corpses of their own children
we are afraid to want
freedom within our own anatomy
we still can not agree on
sovereignty
there are a million and one things
our strength can buy
yet we still cower
at the sight of rebellion
the widow
the orphan
the disabled
will hold on
but eternity is not ours
to hold off
