Excerpt:
"Is ke baad toh koi bhi harf
Nahin utha sakta mere liye
Mera jism ek farsh hai
Aur har zakhm ek nayi kahani."

Translation:
After this, no word can
Rise for me anymore,
My body is a floor,
And every wound, a new story.

Her poetry is intense, confronting both personal and political struggles. It resonates with women who bear the scars of injustice but continue to exist with strength and defiance.
