'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 storm<br />The radiant flame is Shaheen Bagh.<br />If you want to see insistence, come, see it<br />Not the Jama, see this masjid of truth.<br /><br />Warm your hands in the calor of hearts<br />Measure the heights of the mountain’s spirits<br />Where you will find no stain in the hem<br />The name of that cloth is Shaheen Bagh.<br /><br />Come see Lakshmibai, see Razia Sultan<br />See a new India emerge from the hijab<br />Tearing the dark, hear the chorus of appeal<br />Hear the nation of women, transform, rise<br />These women sacrificed their homes<br />Their new dwelling is Shaheen Bagh.
