jheel ontario (draft)

goodwin  trail per
cycle aur skate kertay hu'aye log
zara hut kay
kuch umar raseeda
chehal qadmi kertay hu'aye

jheel maiN sar e shaam
chakkar lagati kashtiaN
deck per mauseeqi, meh aur mahtaab
kay zair e asar naachtay hu'aye
hungama kertay hu'aye joRay

jheel ontario kay kinaray
maiN in kahayalON maiN
khoya hu'a

aur phir yeh tana bana
lay jata hay oodher
jahaaN donON janib
raj hay nafratouN ka
jahaaN shehri kya, sipahi kya
sub meh'v e gharq haiN
nafratouN kay shikanjay maiN
jahaaN insaniyat maflooj hay
jahaaN haivaniyat zinda hay

do more, do more

refuge seekers dishevelled disoriented they arrive some stay others move on do more, do more they order
and practice
as bombs
rearrange
their disarray

if you feel courageous

look in the mirror look around tell me not what you see share if you feel courageous
why are we children of a lesser god?

diatribes

who needs excuses for diatribes equal opportunity gods have ensured
reasons uniformly accessible to rich and poor
to you and me the world over

A beautiful day for the poets. To rage. Rage. Against the dying of the light. The blanking of the verse. The taking of the nap.

har'f ki azmat

mOtaqid hooN azmat e har'f ka
laikin aye humdum behtar ho ger

no escape

unreal reality
existential dilemma

mid sea
in oarless boat

this drifting
called life
claims its dues

there is no choice
there is no escape

fickle memory

the sepia photo 
found tucked in a book
does no justice
to the smile
ensconced in the mind

word carvers

i

some get away
with murder and
in-your-face lies
with bewildering
machiavellian charm

ii

deflecting words
beaming righteous indignation
flame bloated egos ---
legends in peanut shells
enveloped in glaring darkness
know all- value nothing
march into oblivion
on their own beat

iii

others drink 
from poison bowls
offer unbowed heads
at the altar
and are enshrined
in historical realms
