I am Kaur
They called me weak,
They said that I’m powerless,
They said that I’m not worthy of your love,
They said that the turban is only worn by Sikh men,
They said that women are lowest of the low,
They said that women can be beaten for no particular reason,
They told me to stay quiet,
They told me to be shy,
They told me to follow the societal norms,
They killed me before I was even born,
They tried to cage me,
They tried to clip my wings,
They tried to dishonor me,
They tried to take away my identity,
They tried to take me away from you,
But, you my Vaheguru, blessed me with strength and stability,
You blessed me with the turban that I tie on my head with pride,
You blessed me with a kirpan that I use to protect my honour,
You blessed me with amrit that gave me a sense of belonging to the Khalsa panth,
You gave me the power to stand up for justice and righteousness,
You defended me when the rest of the world was against me,
You told everyone, “so kio mandhaa aakheeai jith janmehi raajan ||” (SGGS Ang 473)
You promoted equality,
You made me feel precious,
You saved me from the horrors of worldly pleasures,
I have come to your sanctuary,
I seek support only from you Vaheguru,
Make me feel worthy of your love,
Bless me with your divine presence,
Hold onto me and never let me go.
