haji malang urus
the greatest event
after ajmer sharif
the hijra lets a sigh
breaking her chains
climbs the malangad
mountains on the
wings of angels
she flies
the hijra chaddar
the nach gana
the festivity
the hijra soul cries
to be good
to change into
a better person
with the blessings
of the Holy Saint
the untouchable
of society
the hijra weeps
to androgynous arise
on her reddened cheeks
molten tears dry
neither man nor woman
neither this nor that
the hijra in a woman's
deathly disguise
the lord loves them
he resides in their eyes
they too are his children
no surprise why does
a trustee of haji malang
thinks otherwise
they the hijras give away
whatever they have
at the foot of Holy Tomb
a gesture holistic and nice
yes the hijra beaten bruised
battered raped
sodomized by
the thekedars of
humanity their pain
under priced

yes as a poet
i salute
the hijra community
for respecting all divinity
be it allah ishwar or jesus christ
ardh nari nareshwar
shivas cosmic third eye
