ऐ दुनिया के महिला दीदी, तुम खूब लगाओ नारा
८ मार्च शपथ का दिन है हम सब का,
लहरा दो लाल रंग का झंडा
सन् १८५७ में अँग्रेजो का राज चलाता था
न्यूयार्क के कपड़ा मिलों में महिलाओं का शोषण होता था
आग लगी अचानक, न्यूयार्क के कपड़ा मिलों में, हज़ारों जलाकर शहीद हुए
ए दुनिया के महिला दीदी, ज़रा आँख में भर लो पानी
जो शहीद हुए न्यूयार्क में, उनकी याद करो कुर्बानी
१२ घंटे काम करने पर भी पेट नहीं भर पाता था
रोज ही शोषण के साथ शारीरिक शोषण भी होता था
यूरीन जाने भी नहीं मिलता, बाहर से गेट बंद होता था
आग लगी अचानक, न्यूयार्क के कपड़ा मिलों में, हज़ारों जलाकर शहीद हुए
ये आजादी झूठी है, भारत की महिला भूखी है
१२ घंटे काम करती है ९० रूपए रोजी पाती है
ए दुनिया के महिला दीदी, तुम खूब लड़ो लड़ाई
शासको को उखाड फेकेंगे, चलो रास्ते कुरबानी

Shraddha from Jan Swsthya Sahyog in Ganiari, Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh says that first aid does not require specialists, and can save a life. If someone has experienced a burn due to fire, electric shock, or hot oil, clean cold water should be used immediately, and then the area kept cool by applying it repeatedly. Boils help the skin heal faster because they retain liquid inside. If the area burnt is more than 20%, professional help in a hospital is a must. The sufferer should not be given water to drink in severe burn cases, as it can cause him to vomit blood. For more Shraddha can be reached at 09981367731
