leaving
their egos
their cars
their cycles
at the foot
of malangad
carrying
a devotional
heartbeat
head bowed
at the Holy Shrine
of Haji Malang Baba
they meet
invoking
his blessings
people they greet
old young cripple
without
caste color
or creed
man who is human
man who is beast
haji malang
a human bonding feast
some memories
live perish linger
the mind
wont delete
some memories
bitter and sweet
a half circle
on the mound of
silence
defying
to be complete
my humility
that lies at the feet
of her conceit
a slithering soul
seeking release
from the vice
like grip
of a winding sheet
the spiritual angst
a spiritual cry
of a shia blogger
barefeet
microblogging
the soul of
poetic passion

teri duniya se
door jana
chahta hoon
apni kabr
par ek ashiyana
banana chahta hoon
ab bas
dur raho mujhe se
pathar ka sirhana
sar ke neeche
bichane jata hoon
khak ka kambhal
sare wade bhulana
chahta hoon

Shoes Stand

Shoes Stand, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

he looked at me
quizzically
asked me
for my shoes
at haji malang
in sufi land
I told him
I was a barefeet beggar
with a beggars
bowl in my hand
searching for happiness
peace the sufis last stand
muslims dont kill muslims here
a world of piety that
on your soul expands
no suicide bombers
no hate no bigotry
a world that rumi
planned a poet
planting seeds
of words
in moving sand
she dropped
a piece of sweet
which fell of
the beggars bowl
from my useless hand

On Her Blindness

On Her Blindness, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

some things in life
are born in another
persons mind
from his mind
to your mind
seamlessly unwind
love is monochromatic
for the color blind
sometimes cruel
sometimes kind
in the hollowness
of my soul
a spectral silence
of her presence
following me
from behind

my new poem dedicated to nabila h
thank you for your comments and support..

Hijras Like to Have Fun

With this picture I have thus posted 949 pictures at my Flickr photo stream, of the Hijra resurgence at Haji Malang a Holy Shrine of Peace,the hijras come here to rejuvenate their cosmic spirituality.

The Hijra angst is a religiosity itself binding all human Faiths.

They are hijras whether they are Hindus Christians or Muslim period.. their code of Morality is Sarv Dharm Ek..All Religions are One..

They share each others feast and there are no communal riots among Hijras..they fight against each other if somebody steals their overworking virile toy boy , and the toy boy is always walking a tightrope for if he spurns his hijra love next thing you know they will cut off his balls literally..and the hijra population without reproduction increases by one..and I am not joking..

Mona called me recently , the one in black to come home and shoot her pictures I politely refused , the one besides her stalks guys on trains I am told,.she is a great dancer.

And this is my last hijra post for the day, I have a lot of hijra pictures of Gopal Hajis sandal I will keep it on hold and shoot the Haji Malang pending pictures.

My uploading is slow but I manage , the amount of pictures I have shot the Flickr uploader should allow me to upload at least 400 pictures in a day in a batch.

I have till date posted119424 blogs in less than 3 years at Flickr on all subjects close to my heart..

And average view per day is 10000 per day at Flickr - unfortunately leaving aside my efforts , most of the guys use Facebook as a micro blog , so there is no blog stats of my status at Facebook.. I use Twitter to pimp my blogs and I salute Biz Stone for giving me the necessary platform to let lose my blogs on the soul of cyberspace..

The Ring Master and the Eunuch

The Ring Master and the Eunuch, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

each
wary
of the other
playing games
trying their luck
one a blogger
the other a eunuch
in a one way passage
both find themselves stuck
the blogger shooting the hijra angst
walking barefeet in the muck
the hijra pendulous shake
of her buttock looks
at his barefeet and says yuck
destiny running amok
a heaving chest of the hijra
now a mountain once a hillock
frivolously passing the buck
pectoral palpitation
resting in a hammock
doe eyed dumbstruck
a missing womb
a pregnant pause
of the eunuchs
masculine stomach
