Hath Pehlane Ke Siwa Kuch Ata Nahi


dil hai tanha
aur zindagi
ka gham
sath chodkar
jata nahi
muflisi ka
hal hai
beeta hua
acha kal
laotkar
ata nahi
ab siwaiey
bhik ke
aur koie
bhi kam
ata nahi

The Cosmic Cycle Of A Muslim Beggars Pain


holding her
inner strength
of survival
in chains
begging her
young life
away in
bandra
by lanes
door to door
shop to shop
her family
she maintains
more than her
mother she gets
more alms
leftover food
milk and grains
for what she is
to whom does
she complain
after all this
to catch
the mumbra
train.. rainy
season potholes
dangerous
drains minding
her step to
stay alive
she has much
to obtain

the only
bollywood
actor who
helps people
of her kind
the lame
crippled blind
he gives them
hope where
no hope exists
an actor as human
like him is hard
to find beyond
caste color creed
he loves mankind
the only khan well
defined .to the
bandra slum dwellers ..
during disasters fires
tragic moments
he has helped them
in cash and kind

The Muslim Beggar Girl


with the milk
she got from
the milk shop
free ...
her family
will make tea
what is left
will be for
the very little
baby ..
ramzan time
is hope for beggars
renewed charity
some coins
milk of kindness
some generosity

The Muslim Beggar Girl Child


ration
from houses
shops she
gets ramzan
hope is alive
never sets
some milk
she rushes
to the nagori
milk man
before she
forgets muslim
beggars their
struggle hardships
i showcase on
the internet
after i shot
her several years
back... we never met
surely she is her
mothers pet ..
eyes sharp
as marbles hair
raven jet..
full of life
she has no
regrets ..
her cosmic fate
her pulsating
child's emotions
caught in a dragnet
her fragile gender
her greatest threat
in muslim society
she will be thrown
to the vultures early
marriage ,, the only
outlet ..if she is lucky
she will survive or
begging on the streets
like her mother
paying off her
husbands debts

The Muslim Beggars Bandra Bazar Road..


humbled
humility
a burkha
the dress
code
carrying
a heavy
load ,
her child
watches
her pain
as streets
unfold
a few
miserly
coins
in ramzan
seems
like precious
gold,,
before
she was
born she
was bowled
her pain
will continue
even when
she turns
old,,getting
relief only
when she
is laid in her
grave stone
cold ...her
child watching
all this on the
threshold
as a picture
devoid of
their souls
