'A mina' incident
Take me home mother for the deed is done,
I have completed the task myself
The burning that begun with brutal thrusts
Has now engulfed me entirely,
I am free
Take me home mother for the deed is done
The skin they devoured has melted off
There is nothing left to turn them on,
I have made sure I look as hideous as death
God should make us all like this
Dripping with our own flesh and blood
Then perhaps they will leave us be
Or maybe not
Like vultures they will come
They have, can you see mother?
I told you I was telling you the truth
Now they believe me as I light the torch
As I am licked clean
They believe me mother and so do you
As I bid adieu
O! Mukhtaran
I know what you meant
There is no pain like the one we tasted
But I cannot live with the shame
Take me home mother for the deed is done,
I have completed the task myself.
