On the launch of Gunjan Jain’s book, “She Walks, She Leads”, Shah Rukh Khan spoke of how his life has been shaped by the women in it, and recited a poem he wrote that was inspired by Zayn Malik.
Shah Rukh Khan said, “There was an amazing quote about girls that I read by Zayn Malik… inspired by his thoughts, and writing, I penned a poem for tonight or at least some rhyming lines that I felt about girls all around the world .”
This is for girls who stay up all night,
This is for you who are willing to fight,
For hidden fears,
Hurt, pain, and tears,
Under the smiles, laughs, and giggles we hear.
Let your hair down, straight or curls,
You’re beautiful because you fight like a girl.
For girls who wears short skirts,
And their heart on their sleeve,
For girls who know how difficult,
It is to believe,
The girls who scream and cry,
Into their pillows and tell them their goals,
For girls who have a secret,
But can’t tell a soul.
Let your eyes be your diamond,
Make them your pearls,
You’re beautiful because you fight like a girl.
For girls who have made mistakes,
And have regrets galore,
Because you fight like a girl.
For the girls who love with all their heart,
Although it sometimes gets broke,
To who think it’s over,
To real girls, to all girls,
Who have tears to soak.
You throw, you pick up, and fall,
But just tell the world,
“I’m beautiful,
Because I fight like a girl.”

Shah Rukh Khan also hinted in making a book to dedicate to the women in his life, in which he’ll mention that he owes all his life to them. We surely do hope to see more of his writing skills in the future, because that poem was beautiful!
