Breaking My 4 Fast With Khajur From Nerjis Asif Shakir, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

Normally she gives the date to me than pushes it in her mouth .. with the bit of the Khajur in my mouth I break my fast thank God for his Munificence and Bounty.

I had just returned from some urgent work just in time for breaking my fast..

Today's Iftar had Simla Mirchi bhajias and fried boiled eggs in batter and the usual stuff , some fruits ..I mostly skip dinner and will now get and have Sairi..

This morning I took Nerjis Asif Shakir to a tour of rustic Bandra , what I wanted to shoot I could not find but shall shoot it tomorrow.

roshni dhoob gayi
suraj pasine se dhala
tadap rahi thi
karbo bala
islam ke dhad ko
bacha raha tha
shae ka gala
sad wa waila
sad wa waila
khoon main litpit
karbo bala
lashon pe lashe
karbo bala
sad wa waila
sad wa waila
bewaqt jhuka
lekin waqt na jhuka saki
karbo bala
sad wa waila
sad wa waila
aane wali
yazidiyat
ko yad dilye karbo bala
hussainiyat
main samayi kabo bala
shahe mazloom ka
hai yeh gala
sad wa waila
sad wa waila

We Are Muslims We Beg

We Are Muslims We Beg, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

Yes we are Muslims we beg
Allah ho Akbar
Asking Allah for Peace
Our Faith on the
Soul of our shoulders
Our Destiny
On the creaky
Stumps of our wooden legs
Yes puritanical Islam
Petro –dollars of Wahabbism
Arab barbarism an inheritance
Of the Jehadi killers and Taliban dregs
In the Holy Month of Ramzan
Ajmer shivers with a blast that
Loosening our spiritual pegs
As we see posterity dying unborn
Like feet trampled broken eggs
