I tweaked this picture and posted it without text here at flickr it as garnered 6418 views till date so I thought of pulling it forward and poetizing it for posterity..

hijra eyes
almond like
kohl laden
misty moist
where pain
resides
loves to hide
hijra eyes
neighbors envy
owners pride
hijra eyes
have never lied
born of humility
mouth gagged
both hands tied
the day the hijra
was born
his god died
on his backside
his fate astride
hijra sex
a mere
horse ride
hijra pain
never subsides
cosmic chaos
time and tide
a lonely bedside
fucked
forgotten
on the wayside
hijra eyes
all seeing
from
within
outside
piteous
painful
freeze dried
as a poet
in written
words
of sorrow
i have
described

main zinda lash hoon
she replied ...
i kissed the hijras eyelids
as she sighed
a part of me also died
