Naam Shaheen Bagh Hai: An Ode to the Protesters Who Sparked a Nationwide Movement | The Quint

'Naam Shaheen Bagh Hai' is a poem by Darab Farooqui, dedicated to the protesters of Shaheen Bagh, a fountainhead of resistance against CAA, NRC and NPR.br br Have you seen streets raise their heads?br Have you seen wounds break into a smile?br Have you seen freedom wrapped in dupattas?br Have you seen an eighty-year-old princess?br br The lamp that lights the centre of this stormbr The radiant flame is Shaheen Bagh.br If you want to see insistence, come, see itbr Not the Jama, see this masjid of truth.br br Warm your hands in the calor of heartsbr Measure the heights of the mountain’s spiritsbr Where you will find no stain in the hembr The name of that cloth is Shaheen Bagh.br br Come see Lakshmibai, see Razia Sultanbr See a new India emerge from the hijabbr Tearing the dark, hear the chorus of appealbr Hear the nation of women, transform, risebr These women sacrificed their homesbr Their new dwelling is Shaheen Bagh.
