bahut
naraz
isi hai
sukun
chain
ki talash
kash ise
mil jata
woh shaks
jisne
ise luta
tha woh
badmash
chadar ke
andar kala
akash
hidden away
from the face
of sorrow
grieving
for unborn
tomorrow
she has a
body this
poets soul
she borrows
with a promise
she will return
it day after
tomorrow

Zinda Lash
Corruption Lies In The Soul Of Mumbai
go to pay
stamp duty
or register
your property
hawks vultures
waiting to gobble
your wallet .-in
collusion with the
agent easy money
when illegal buildings
comes up no one
to check ,,till you
are conned than
letting the builder go
they come to demolish
your 25 year old home
throw you out on the street
blindfolded justice system
hands free luckily not
yet bound politically
slums allowed to proliferate
vote banks ready made votes
for the party.. after elections
given the boot as illegal
towers come up..immediately
yeh hai bambai meri jan
sab kuch bikta hai nothing free
Those Who Rule Uttar Pradesh.. Hardly Know The Hardships of The North Indian In Mumbai

they come
in hordes
a train from
gonda basti
gorakhpur
lucknow
kanpur
azamgarh
to mumbai
they board
living in slums
with their relatives
friends ,..sleep
on the floor
working as
coolies slaves
or even as beggars
zindagi kamar tod
bhoj utha uthakr
toot gaye sare jod
yeh kaisa ruk
yeh kaisa mod
inki shresht neta
ne inke bare man
socha nahi ,,yeh
ghulami yeh zindagi
ki daud...banaye parks
hathi aur statues ..iske
alawa..paisa kiya hoard
politicians kare raj aur
chamche ban gaye
chairman of lucrative
money earning boards
the north indian angst
as it bleeds in the hot
blazing sun on the road
Remembering The Great Cobbler Scam...
businessman
politicians
created
a hit team
formed
cooperative
societies
for a governmental
scheme
siphoned of
the money
of the poor
cobblers
for their
personal
esteem
india land
of corruption
scams .. where
you get wealth
moment you
dream..conmen
protected by
a crooked regime
it is 5 o clock
a tired mind
awakened
from its
sojourn
camera
eye of
a hawk
a thought
exposes
perched
on a
rock
words
arising
out of
nothingness
symmetrical
aligning as
hope poetically
unlocks ..shadows
hunt the soul
talks...grinding
truth out of landless
rock...no more
shock..deadlock
end of an epoch
Uncle We Saw You In Phata Poster Nikla Hero
that you have
become an actor
we could not believe
from a tailor master
to the celluloid screen
a very big leap
with shahid kapoor
our favorite hero
hitting all the villains
in one big sweep
this was one film
we saw till the end
normally by interval
we fall asleep
