The Dark World of the Hijras

133,876 items / 995,328 views

the lamp lies broken
that could light their way
for going against
the gender gifted by god
to fucked society
a price they pay
bodies made of flesh
feet made of clay
once they were nubile
now gone old and gray
in misery in a dark
world of hijras they stay
older than man
their ancestry
yesterday tomorrow today
colored lips pouted pain
they display
the hijra a doomed
beginning
choked on
the river bend
on the way

rest in peace says this poet
for your eternal androgynous
soul i solemnly pray
oh hijra like fair daffodils
bloom and than die away

The Night of the Angels

Most of the pilgrims who come for the Urus of Khwajah Gharib Nawaz are the very poor needy and most of them sleep at any available place on the streets .

Luckily it was not raining in Ajmer.


But granted they are poor , needy they dont complaint for they no all the hardships they incur for the Holy Saint they will be just fully rewarded.

They have come here so that Kjhwajah Gharib Nawaz will hear their passionate plea and remove all obstacles that stand in their way of a good and decent life.

Everywhere you go every by lane has sleeping humanity , making ends meet , most beg for food and for clothing.

The rich come here to ask for more riches and give generously to the poor feed them and give them money too.

The rich come here to escape from the threats of the Mafia dons, and with precarious ill health diabetes blood pressure hernia you name it they have it.

The Hindus are in a majority at the Holy Saints shrine , they love him and he loves them too.

And than you wake up to find that even Sufi safe havens are not safe from the terrorist and suicide bombers.

Datta Ganja Buksh Holy Shrine in Lahore killed a lot of people and caused havoc among the peaceful pilgrims.


This is the flip side of fundamentalism morbid mentality ..killing the innocent for no fault of theirs.

I passed a comment on Facebook on my picture that I copy here.


What hurts more is when Shia Shrines and Mosques or the Ahmadiya mosques are bombed it hardly matters as both sects are considered heretics by the majority of hardcore fundamental Muslims.

But when a Sufi Shrine is bombed entire humanity of Islam wakes up and even Sufism is considered heresy by the Talibans and petro powered preachers of sectarian hate.

Preachers like ... vitriolic Mehraj Rabbani of Ahle Hadeez have added fuel to fire by desecrating Sufi Saints who preached Humanity of Islam without decapitating a single head with a sword.

Today's fundamental Islam as proselytized by these hardcore tele evangelists is not what the Holy Messenger preached or the Shia Imams followed.. and practiced.

Imagine all the Imams were martyred poisoned for standing up for truth and Humanity.

And so this vindicates my position as a photo blogger who has maintained that it is Muslims who lustfully love to kill Muslims per se.

said the sacrificial goat to me life is so bizarre


you shot my picture
with the foreigners

i saw you from afar
at first
i thought
this known face
was perhaps
bollywoods
most wanted film star
but than i realized
seeing you barefeet
you are what you are
i have seen you sit
with the dread headed
malangs
of dam madar
my fate was already
known to me
with the butchers knife
i could not spar
to appease
the soul
of restless humanity
i was sacrificed
life is love and war
no i was not hit by a car

zindagi aur maut
na koie jeet na koie har
tum sab ko mera pyar
toot gaya khamoshi ka tar

The Agony And Shame of the Muslim Beggar

in one part of the world
it is the Muslim who
loves to kill
Muslim blood spill
the rest of the Muslims
watch helplessly
a eunuch silence
soundlessly still
all acts of terrorism
against Allahs will
kill the shias
kill the ahamadiyas
kill the sufis
brotherhood and peace
downhill
petro powered
tele evangelists
their unlawful coffers fill
the royal custodians of
mecca and medina
foot the bill
while on the roads
the poor muslim beggar
face covered
her stomach empty
her life nil
life stands still
a mountain
reflected in the soul
of a molehill
to make her life
more miserable
fatwas
by male muslim
dominated
society
mullahcentric
against her freewill
a muslim beggar
womans life
robbed of
all her womanly
goodwill
only to reproduce
children populate
muslim society
her life on a dung hill
it is the muslim man
she must satisfy
his lust fulfill
