my poems are pictures
you view as you read
born in the captivity
of my mind
your soul has freed
emotionalizing
the angst of disparity
by actions and by deeds
light and shade
on my soul as
they speed
in a workshop
of hope
where words
are my creed
carried
from
one shore
to the other
by RSS feed
a tear drop
of a fragmented bead
sprouting a poem
a pictorial seed
hussain is humanity
what this world needs
as bombs go off
the unborn child bleeds
structured scriptures
misinterpreted
to mislead
another
mosque comes
tumbling down
courtesy yazeed
hate for humanity
100 %guaranteed

all around
it was despair
but it grew tall
i shot
hope perched
on a wall
it would grow into a
giant at the moment
it is small diminutive
undaunted strong
all in all
seeing me
walking away
it did call
take my picture
before the
worst befalls
paying tribute to
its destiny
at its feet
little ants
crawled

This little child and her family consisting of aunts and an uncle including her mother and grandfather visited our house for lunch.


Her grandmother Hashmi from Lucknow was my wife's childhood friend had died a few months back leaving behind several daughters and two sons.

Hashmi was my wife's Lucknow lifeline in Mumbai., and her death hit my wife badly.


So when this family came home Marziya took the shot without being shy and the way she looked back made me feel that her dead grand mother might have whispered in her ears to give Marziya a good shot.

One grand daughter shooting another grand daughter now I let Marziya hold the camera without worrying it falls of her hand though she slings it around her neck..

She took the shot and after taking it checked it on the camera monitor.

Marziya is 2 and a half years old.

a sneak preview
of motherhood
in the silhouette
of the hijab
the same hijab
that terrorists
wore at zahedan iran
to destroy
the soul
of motherhood
in Islam
eunuch silence
to cause more harm
a slithering sorrow
searching for balm
muslims love
killing muslims
unarmed
not just muslims
but the word of Allah
desecrated bombed
with each blow
his kingdom stormed


ma ek bar phir
tujh ko salaam
