I am trying as a poet to put myself in a poor Muslim womans shoes she is the fourth wife of a Mufti Saab and I caught her daydreaming.. and talking to herself..in the bazar place...


at first
she came as the first wife
of mufti saab dignity and grace
he liked her but was not
happy with the pock marks
on her face taaddud or taajub
i dont know the phrase
after four brats mufti saab
horny as hell took
the second wife in her place
along with the first
the second one stays
one does the domestic chores
the other one prays
mufti saab unsatisfied libido
needed a third one to chase
he could not change his ways
the third one was beautiful
with a childs brain always
in a daze so instead of a wife
its another child to raise
so finally allah be praised
he married the fourth time
a noble one from
the pathan race
a happy family he says
though the first wife
daydreaming mufti saab
wont change his pace
marriage never pays
her bad kismet embrace
muslim woman caught in a vicious
circle going round and round
in a maze.. well this happens
in a neighboring country
where the taliban stays
promoting a polygamous
mind thought and state
muslims killing muslims
cross border terrorism
suicide bombers
bombs detonate
in place of love only hate
a poem also a facebook update
