Kazi Nazrul Islam - Rise Up, Women - Rise Up Like the Flaming Fire

Rise up Women, rise up like the flaming fire! <br />Rise up, O wife of the Sun-god, <br />with the mark of blood on your forehead! ! ! <br />Dangling your tongues all around <br />dance on, you mad, naked women! <br />Rise up, you wretched, raped serpents, <br />awaken your power to burn the world! ! ! <br />Like the fire blazing out of a smoke heap, <br />rise up all you mothers, daughters, wives, sisters! <br />Redeemers of the sinners, the fallen <br />like the flowing Ganges rise up, <br />all you downtrodden; <br />fill the clouds with blazing thunder, <br />O Women the ever-victorious <br />awaken in you the goddess Durga! <br /> <br />[Translation: Sajed Kamal]<br /><br />Kazi Nazrul Islam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem..../rise-up-women-rise-
