A sorrowful fate's captive,
Woman in this world,
A sorrowful fate's captive,
Woman in this world,
Here, a woman's helplessness weighs,
Heavier than mountains, unfurled.
A sorrowful fate's captive,
Woman in this world.
Two days laughter, a hundred days weep,
This is a woman's lot,
Two days laughter, a hundred days weep,
This is a woman's lot,
Remember, what was the life,
Of Sita, so pure, forgot?
Through fire's trials, her life did flow,
Her whole life through, a shot.
Her whole life through, a shot.
A sorrowful fate's captive,
Woman in this world,
A sorrowful fate's captive,
Woman in this world.
She silently smolders,
Like a pyre of sandalwood,
She silently smolders,
Like a pyre of sandalwood,
None have yet understood,
The pain held in her soul, misunderstood.
In every game of life she played,
She always lost, uncontrolled.
She always lost, uncontrolled.
A sorrowful fate's captive,
Woman in this world,
Here, a woman's helplessness weighs,
Heavier than mountains, controlled.
A sorrowful fate's captive,
Woman in this world.
A sorrowful fate's captive,
Woman in this world.
