Together in pain and happiness
living on a cart two lovers yes
jummah masjid gate no2 is
their permanent address
the filthiest part of delhi
gone to seed our faith
our heritage nonetheless
but these two lovers
conjoined in height
left behind by snow white
simple souls god bless
surely to stay here they
pay the cops the local goon
sharing their earnings
under duress they are
seen by foreigners
tourists bloggers but
never by the chalk
faced members of
the press ..not a
good story ..rape
sodomy political
shenanigans is
what they shoot
to unduly impress
two lovers caught
in a vicious grip of
fate ..fighting all
odds ..more or
less ..
ask them who is in power
who is the new PM.. they
have no interest .. with
every new government
since independence
jummah masjid is a cesspool
of filth apathy neglect ..as yet
who really cares for muslim
areas muslim ghettos muslim
slums an eyesore ..tete a tete
acche din for poor muslims
shall never come ..be my
guest welcome to delhis
ugliest nest ...my case
as a beggar poet from
mumbai i rest...
