The Sufi Ascetic


he is a rafaee
a path he has
picked ..
a monk a mendicant
piercing his body
he does unusual
tricks ..cuts his
tongue with a
sword ...in his
eyeball he pushes
a pointed stick
all over his
frail body
needle pricks
over the years
his pictures
i clicked
be it mahim
ajmer haji
malang.. he
was there
sometimes
extremely
sick.. but
his presence
among the
chancawalli
rafaees ..
as the Sais
favorite
sidekick
hidden in
the orbs of
his eye
pages
of his life
adventurously
dramatic
