a benign smile
a torturous path
a muslim beggar
woman on a normal day
because i gave money
to her daughter
she was quite amazed
than i took their pictures
a memory now it stays
she may one day
again pass my way
but i am sure i will
see her tomorrow
on idd namaz day
when head bowed
to Allah you will pray
she will wait eagerly
to wish you idd mubarak
khushali come your way
this too is the path
of salvation sufferings
on the way hardships
hand written by her fate
on her motherly face
this is part and parcel
of Islamic society
a pain that never
goes away
next idd the idd after
the next idd
time and again
motherhood
womanhood
on the streets
disgraced
