The Hijdas of Moti Katra
Originally uploaded by flickr photographerno1
Moti Katra
a home away from home
at Ajmer
fools enter and angels fear to dare
hijdas,eunuchs , transgendered
wing broken, incomplete identity
open hair ,
anklet bells ,
androgynous shenai
all at this festive fair
soul to souls body to body bare
on the khwaja moinuddin chishty s
mazaar sandal, a new hope , share
bhaucahara mata , aryavan of koovagam
also there
Urus time , hijda resurgence
Khwajas Karam
lyrically lilting tilting the air
Basanti queen of the Hijdas
beauty beyond compare
zeenath in serpentine snare
sohel on the balls of his toes
leaps in middair
his entire body in prayer
kaajal her bodily muskish odour
attired emotions in good care
babita, priya from singapore
samba footed on the holy square
O Garib Nawaz..Shakila Syed
Najafgadh a thought do spare
All roads lead to Moti Katra
the Servant of the Lord God
his omniscience
his omnipresence
everywhere
even the poorest of poor
Hijda
becomes a millionaire
at Urus time in Ajmer
