the land
i was born
is my karbala too
i want to go to
hindustan
words of
imam hussain
thought
to review
hindustan
where
hospitality
humanity
khuloos
iqlakh
respect
for the guru
was on view
the land of hope
brahma shiva vishnu
i am answerable
for my faith
to a mother
i dont need to
answer a mullah
or answer you
my faith is humanity
yes i am proud to be
an indian a shia hindu
if you call me a kafir
or a heretic it would
be an added compliment
no issue what my mother
placed as my birthright
you or even me
cant undo
from any religiosity
that kills in the name of god
from such religiosity
my soul withdrew

only muslims love killing muslims a lustful vengeance on review when you bomb shia mosques you
burn the holy koran too..spilling blood of a believer sadly true

A Muslim Blogger In A Hindu Heartland

both Indians
one motherland
a land of peace
hope and humanity
a unique land
a cherished soil
on which
justice equality
liberty as pillars
of mankind stand
a thought unfortunately
the racist with a hindu voice
or the bigot with a muslim bias
wont understand
a land of diverse colors
a spectrum of unity
one single band
beyond caste color
or religiosity
gods own land
made in india
gods own brand
where tolerance
mutual coexistence
progress future
go hand in hand
shooting hope hindutva
a message of peace
hope and humanity
art culture creativity
heritage ancestry
of man all very grand
himalayas ganges
from kashmir to kanyakumari
held by a strand
of love brotherhood
a pledge between
god and man
whatever your
ethnicity as
INDIANS
one single clan

Musalman aur Hindu Main Shikwa Kis Bat Ka

sath main safar
karte hain
ek jism do hath ka
yeh kaisa
mudda jath path ka
ek hi train
hindustan express
safar ek sath ka


I shot this from my lap level taking the bearded Muslim man and the Hindu gentleman with a red vermilion tilak on his forehead ..while traveling from Mira Road to Bandra in a local train.

The Shia Pandit -Firozen Feet

firozen feet
making love
to a naked street
orgiastic overtures
clean and neat
blood sinew
muscles
some dead meat
dust and heat
beyond
the hellish fires of defeat
wisdom
that was once
the toilet seat
paper weight body
soul concrete
something missing
you could not cheat
surrendered spirituality
incomplete
wrapped in a
blood stained
winding sheet

Doing the Sufi Kaif..The Hindu way

Kaif is a Sufi state of Mind - a dance that takes you into a trance without being induced by drugs.

I gave my camera to the friendly photographer who took this shot..

This the two sided coin called India..

Doing the Sufi Kaif the Hindu way
At Bandra Mumbai
that was once called Bombay
your mind flies while your feet give way
trance like emotions
on your karmic soul
in a tantric way
your heart beat stops
as you pray
touching
the supreme waves
that part your way
your body lifeless husk
your feet turn clay
god within your inner self
paves the way
black and white
some shades of gray
to the sound of om
a path you trace
meeting the maker face to face
shattered dreams
resurface
holistically healing
time and space
a drop of eternity
you embrace


I dedicate this poem to Soulthrash Kowalski

Kaun Hindu Kaun Mussalman ?

Kaun Hindu Kaun Mussalman
Hum kuch bhi nahi
garv Hindustan
sab se pahle
hum ban jaye
acche Insaan
aapas mein
bhav beech rakhkar
ne kare ane wali
pidi ko pareshaan
hindu aur mussalman
ek chehre ki do ankhen
hindutva
islam
hamara imaan
hamari neki aur
hamari shaan
idd aur diwali
mein hum ek dusre ke mehman
gale milte hain ram aur rehman
ek hi manzil ek hi rasta
uparwale tera ehsaan.
do ruh aur ek jaan
na hindu na muslim
sirf ek hindustani
ko pehchan

born and bred in fanaticism
