BHAND JAMIYE
From woman, man is born;
within woman, man is conceived;
to woman he is engaged and married.
Woman becomes his friend;
through woman,
the future generations come.
When his woman dies,
he seeks another woman;
to woman he is bound.
So why call her bad?
From her, kings are born.
From woman, woman is born;
without woman, there would
be no one at all.
These are words that were uttered by the founder of Sikhism,
Sri Guru Nanak Dev in about 1499.
