She was barefoot too, remember?
A warrior, a survivor, a mother, a daughter
Like a water drop, hiding a spectrum of colours
Like a silver lining, unveiling a world new
Benazir Bhutto, a peerless woman
Like a Tapestry, weaving
The traditional notes with contemporary lines,
The western thoughts with religious mind
She was barefoot too, remember?
Standing against the same society
Raising against the same men
Conquering against the same norms.
She was barefoot too, don’t you remember?
Access yourself and let her echo in you
Embrace her and let her become your barefoot companion
Because she was barefoot too, remember?

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem serves as a heartfelt tribute to Benazir Bhutto, Pakistan's first female prime minister, a resolute and unwavering leader. As the daughter of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, she embodied a remarkable blend of distinction and ambition throughout her political career. Fearlessly, she championed the cause of truth, never hesitating to stand firm even in solitude. In a powerful and symbolic image, a barefooted woman emerges, calling upon her fellow women to contemplate their approach in demanding their rights.
