mai nari hun
wada karun sun babul mere aangan dawar
boharungi tere
wada karun sun babul mere aangan dawar
boharungi tere
vaise bhale beti kahlau beta bankar farj nibhau
rakhi ki kasam mujhe ma ki kasam mai nari hun
na haari hun na harungi
mai nari hun mai nari hun

I am woman, a promise whispered,
Listen, Father, in your courtyard's light,
I will sweep, I will tend, I will keep,
A promise made in morning's bright.

Though daughter I, I'll be the son,
Fulfilling duties, bravely spun.
By Rakhi's thread, by Mother's plea,
I am woman, eternally.

I have not fallen, will not yield,
I am woman, on life's wide field.
I am woman, my spirit free.
I am woman, for all to see.
