Pradnya Surve
She was a lovely daughter
Full of life and laughter
An angel with diverse interests
She loved music and reading as well
Ambitiously moved ahead
Took to human service
In her good stead
Dedicated and sincere was she
A brilliant physician was he
A bond of friendship formed
Into love soon it transformed
Resistance from her clan
An outsider was the man
Fate further played unfair
To the lady who was fair
A faltering worker caught
Avenger laid a plot
A beautiful flower crushed
Destroyed her with lust
Just darkness around her
She lay still for years
A kind heart and sweet smile
Faded by pain so vile
She could not cry out for justice
The world failed to protest
She was a lovely daughter
Now lifeless and devoid of laughter
