preciously
loved by
all everyone
to his home
in the waters
he returns
the world
his ocean
for just a
few days
everyone's
hearts he
had won
shiva parvatis
lucky son
remover of
obstacles
ashta vinayaka
ashta omkara
carried on
the wings of
angels this
lovable god
weighing
a ton
living
as good
indians
is his
most
important
lesson
oh akhilesh
learn from
the mumbaikar
it is with love
healing touch
your people
you must
govern
or by the same
people who voted
you to power
you will be
forever spurned
cry my beloved
country when
muzaffarnagar
burns ....

toh prem ke
jhande lehrate hain
dur dur se log inke
darshan ke liye
ate hain,, modak
unhe khilate hain
apni kahani sunate
hain .. bacchi ki shadi
jaldi ho jaye .. beta
vilayat chala jaye
unke kan main chupke
se dohrate hain..
ganeshji bhi apne
in farishton ko
joh nahi manga
woh bhi dilwate
hain.. bhaichara
apas main mel
milap pyar apni
asmita se badate
hain.. isliye ham bhi
unke saye ki tarah
unke piche lag jate
hain.. unki shrishti
unki mahima apke
computer tak
pahunchate hain

i shoot beggars per se .., a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

you shoot
what you
shoot
what your
heart soul
mind desires
you shoot
pictures i
shoot pain
lives burnt
out on a
pyre ..
getting
one square
meal..
is what
their stomachs
aspire ..their
stories real
battered souls
tattered attire
i dont know
if they will
ever get
nirvana
when they
expire
begging after
death at
the gates
of the rich
mans paradise
do beggars
really retire
will the angels
above for their
domestic chores
beggars hire
character
certificates
from the beggars
do they require
read it as a
street picture
a poem or
as a rs 12
a meal
a slap on
humanity
political
satire
om namo
narayan
om namo
ashtavinayaka
will beggars
be part of
his empire
fate sits
watches
conspires

Squandered Hope

Squandered Hope, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

you were
beautiful
when you
set out
no doubt
what was
the turning
point that
made you
give your
innocence
your heart
to the lout
mother of
two children
begging
against a
crumbling
wall that
tells your
story
from within
without .
a few more
drunken kicks
he will beat
he will shout
now you wonder
how i guessed
it all..the final
time out
a candle
burnt out


to serene ...the heart is at organ that pumps blood ..than shuts out ,,,a story word by mouth
