Lyric: Hindi poem by Shakuntala Sharma English version: Rajni Chhabra

 I have always protected my wings

Have taken flights too

Lest someone should prick my wings

I have managed to fly very cautiously

These wings only are

Companions of my determination

My own....self-resolution 

Don't look at my wings

In this manner

Desires that I had cherished 

Since long

Alas! Pricked me even sharper than

Broken pieces of glass

Your anguish 

That touched my heart

What to say , what to say about it

Just tolerating and tolerating.
