baba ek paise ka sawal hai
moutaj hoon
musalman hoon
badkismati ka yeh hal hai
zindagi bediyon se bandhi
jeena janjal hai
khuda ka khayal hai
alam behaal hai


sir give me a coin or two
my tears soaked in a
dry tissue
no hope no avenue
womanly woes
my residue
shadows that i pursue
to move away from
this heartless world
i wait in a queue

a woman is a woman
its true
a womans pain
in public view
scarred
through and through
whether muslim or hindu
its a mans world
where womanhood
they misconstrue
use abuse misuse
depraved destroyed
by a few
a fallen woman
nothing but a taboo
