English Translation:

Kabahoon Aap Bhayau Balaheen,

Sabalani Kari Khaayau Atideen;

Chhedan-Bhedan Bhook-Piyaas,

Bhaar Vahan Him-Aatap Traas.

Meaning:

Further Discussion:

In earlier times animals would face hardships and torture due to labor intensive tasks. Nowadays the animals face hardships and torture due to chemical product testing and genetic engineering.
