A Beggar In Ajmer

a skull cap on his
head long hair
invoking khwaja
garib nawaz karam
kijiye in his prayers
moving feet also
rushing towards
the dargah hardly
care they have their
own problems they
bear powdered faces
at this spiritual fair
with my cosmic eye
i saw pain seeking
comfort everywhere
tears glistening on
the dead soul of
humanity than my
thoughts went over
to the children women
ravaged people of Nepal
reliving a deathly nightmare
i invoked the sultan of hope
to help them get back on
their feet those that god
had spared ..their world
holistically heal repair
buried under a rubble
even that little dog
gasping for air ..


I felt the tremors of the earthquake in Pushkar as I was cut of from the internet newspapers TV I hardly knew the impact of this deadly earthquake ,,

This poem is dedicated to my childhood friend my dear classsmate  actor great humanbeing Sunil Thapa of Nepal..

The Muslim Beggars Untouchables Of Muslim Society

i looked deep into her
eyes ..as she held my
camera vision in a vice
she took me by surprise
begging on bakra eid
much before the goats
were  sacrificed ..waiting
for alms some generosity
compassion she stood
by the roadside ..her pain
within the cosmic darkness
of her hijab she tried to hide
misplaced muslim womanhood
now a beggar once a smiling
bride ..what is her story why
is she begging in silence
her tongue tied ,,forced to
beg because of calamitous
circumstances lost illusions
her dreams much before they
were born had prematurely died

qabool qabool qabool taken for a ride
triple talaq a sword hanging on her head
''Doth God exact day-labor, light deny'd,"

so he sought the only
address . ajmer sharif
khwajah garib nawaz
his noble highness

hopeless homeless

touched healed
revived by his
caress wearing
the saffron color
