Excerpt: "Is ke baad toh koi bhi harf Nahin utha sakta mere liye Mera jism ek farsh hai Aur har zakhm ek nayi kahani." Translation: After this, no word can Rise for me anymore, My body is a floor, And every wound, a new story. Her poetry is intense, confronting both personal and political struggles. It resonates with women who bear the scars of injustice but continue to exist with strength and defiance.
