Ahuti

माँ बाप ने नाम गलत रखा मेरा 

आकृति का होता है आकार 

मेरी नियति 

जल  

- जिस घर में बसें 

उसका आकार लें

निज का नहीं 

डेढ़ अक्षर की भूल, बस 

मेरा गुण-संगत नाम 

रखते, तो होता

आहुति 

Translation, but the word Ahuti has a very specific connotation - it is sacrifice made to the holy fire where the person making the sacrifice earns good karma or a tangible spiritual or material reward. The piece should be read with that connotation. 

They got the name wrong

It should not have been 

Valerie

- the strong one. 

What use is strength 

in a girl? 

If they had named me 

as they raised me 

My name would have been 

Ahuti 

-  the Sacrifice.
