There was once an exceptional woman,
A doctor, soldier and captain .
Dedicated to service of the poor,
She was the lionhearted saviour.
A doctor by profession,
Resisting lifelong opression,
She rose to great heights,
A fighter for woman's rights.
Netaji's trusted pilot,
She refused to be silent.
A president nominee,
There was nothing not done by she.
Sent to Burma as a prisioner of war,
She is the forgotten warrior of yore.
So let us remember Lakshmi Sehgal,
The braveheart above all.
