Jab Hijde Ko Gussa Ata Hai

woh khamakha
jaldi bhadak jata hai
kya kya keh jata hai
galiyan de jata hai
taliyan bajata hai
sari uthata hai
ek pahelu dikhata hai
ma bahen kar jata hai
jab hijde ko gussa ata hai
teri maki teri bahen ki
sunata hai lal lal tamatar ki tarah
ghurghurata hai tilmilata hai
raste par majma ekatha kar ke
woh khoob itrata hai
thodi der ke bad thanda ho jata hai
purani batein bhool kar
phir gale se lagata hai
irani hotel par le jakar
pani kam chai pilata hai
brun maska khilata hai
hath main dus rupaye
bhi thamata hai
ek bhikari shayar
ko bus ka bhada dilwata hai
aur dubara milneka
wada bhool jata hai


Perhaps I imagine too much but while going to Ratlam on a pilgrimage a hijra spotted me sitting on the floor , I had a valid ticket but no seat she immediately offered me tea biscuits and than asked me if I needed any money or further help.. she touched my feet kissed my hand and got off at Glubarga.. a spiritual destination of God for the hijras too..
