Singer Meesha Shafi, who has fast become synonymous with the movement for women’s rights, released her new song ‘Rajkumari’ or queen on International Women’s Day.
The song, another collaboration with music producer Abdullah Siddiqui, was dedicated to all of Shafi’s “South Asian queens on this International Women's Day.”
Rajkumari’s lyrics have all the makings of an anthem for women empowerment, as it speaks of how when women decide to stand for themselves, they are a force to reckon with.
It also talks about how women constantly stand up and fight battles for their rights; how one day, the world will bow down to women. It also discusses how women are strong and how many roles they fulfil and how, as Shafi said, “look at you, you look like a queen.”
