Samman Theme Song

LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN!

(Samman Theme Song)

Dear sisters and brothers, listen!

Epilepsy is neither a crime nor a sin!

It is wrong to hide and not declare,

To yourselves it would be most unfair.

For centuries we have been hearing;

For years we have been repeating

That epilepsy is a blemish, epilepsy is a weakness.

Let us banish this myth

And let them know the truth

Our sons and daughters need to understand,

We ought to let them know.

Dear sisters and brothers, listen ….

With epilepsy we shall have to live,

Bear it with a smile and shed no tear;

Together we shall walk and march ahead without fear.

Why curse our fate and lament?

Why can’t we become self-reliant?

Let us adopt epilepsy as our silent companion

And give our future a new dimension.

–Kavita Shanbhag
