"She has saved many lives and souls. God, how could her fate end so tragically? She was not safe even in a place where everyone knew her. Today, we all ask you, is it a curse to be born a girl in this world?" read the translated lyrics, sung in Punjabi.

What happened 12 years ago continues to happen today. Why do we still have to march for women to live in peace?” he further sang.
