The Sonnets of
MOHAMMED FAKHRUDDIN
45
Woman is the sweetest of all sweet fruits,
As seed of the fruit man spurts from the roots;
All women deserve respect, love and care,
Man and woman are equal, born to share!
Woman is moon, spreads milky light on earth,
Treasure trove of human race full of mirth;
Act as mother, sister, daughter, wife, friend,
Symbol of patience, the sky has no end.
What makes men ill-treat women? Make them cry?
Serve their men as slaves, in silence they die;
Woman gave birth to prophets, seers, great men,
Yet woman is looked down by ruthless men.
Illiteracy is root cause of all ills,
Let society get rid off these evils.
