On Mahila Divas

ये और बात कि आन्धी हमारे बस में नहीं
मगर चराग़ जलाना तो हमारे इख़्तियार में है
-अनजान

ye aur baat hai ki aandhii hamaare bas mein nahiin
magar charaagh jalaanaa to hamaare ikhtiyaar mein hai
-Unknown

It is a different matter that we have no control over storms,
But lighting a lamp is in our hands.
