The cables tied, Like a death invitation from the picnic, The rope with which Corrupt and malicious, Played the game of death. The hoodlums jumped along the hanging bridge, With a half-shut mind lost sideways, As the bridge overloaded fast, The cables pave the way for the picnic-going thugs, The guiltless is in his place […]
Don’t know my identity, Male or female or something else, Not sure about it truly, “But surely not a curse.” People laugh and clap, On my identity, buried; Given an opportunity, All want to play erotically. Nothing new or wrong with this, God has played with me, Nature has played with me, Even my mother […]
Can answer to none, Stands naked facing himself, Stands by no one else, Tale narrates man as a fool. Always moving on the path Of self-destruction and rot, With hard fingers and a harsh heart, A dark flash of hate and gluttony. Toppling every indication of humanity, Dreaming of inaccessible goals, He axes down his […]
She is my spouse sitting beside me coolly, Looking very ordinary and simple. Appearing very calm but self-full of hidden arrogance, Like Narcissus superiority and there she lives with me. Designed by parents but people failed simple countenance, The ignorance and passion hid behind silence, How such a guise came there? Such stuff Crafted after […]
Shahrukh was the best friend of mine, We studied together in childhood time, He was always last in studies and line, And never cares about the lessons fine. When asked some questions about history, He thought it as if was an Arabian mystery, All laughed at his mess as if he was a jockey, […]

The sin that humans perform lives after death; The good is mostly burnt with the bones; So let it be with the guiltless soul. The gracious MeLord Hath blamed that comment from an arrogant […]
With sound high I come, with my agenda and my manifesto,I celebrate poverty for usual victors only, I shout poverty-poverty for dead and defeated persons.A defeated man’s thoughts of schools, A defeated man enjoying freebies and never-ending rest, Blooms with life itself, cannot have. Now I know the masses and the leaders;And these I observe […]
It has become a fashion in this country to discuss and talk about secularism on the one hand but supporting special benefits and privileges for minorities. Secular democracy is boasted as the best asset in India but in practice, secularism and democracy rotate only in appeasing some castes and minorities. The Hindu community is the […]
A foggy winter evening, Covered in dark clothing, Through the haze, silently sitting; Hot-coffee and me–sipping; In a desolate corner of the cafe. A Muslim, a Jew, a Christian; A Hindu, an Atheist-all sitting; They gossip, drink, laughing, Like good old friends, beaming; Life became good and teeming. Then came two gentlemen, staring; […]
