Hijab

I have seen her without a hijab.

In this month of Ramadan
In this month-long fasting
First time saw her in a hijab;

For me,
she is like a radiant light with full of energy
And I couldn't resist myself
touching her affectionately!

Even though she is beautiful in both
I would prefer her without a hijab.

Testing I

Before she sleeps
in this early morning
She can proudly say that she had a bit of productive time;
--amidst a lot of fuzziness

Sometimes it is better not to resist
the flow and flux of the universe!
And when it passes, what remains
is only serenity and bliss!!

Venue

If I am always surrounded by you
how could I function?
So, I have decided to meet you only at the Cliff!

Genre

It's not that I only write about YOU.
It's just that YOU are the most convenient genre to write
                                                                               for me!

Chaos

If everybody on this planet
becomes a poet
the world will surely
fall into a chaos!

Mom, I am hungry;
Beta, I can't serve the dinner right now.

Sobbing and Crying-Why? Why? Why?
Because, I have no INSPIRATION!
So, get lost and engage yourself with something else.

Note: Not based on my own idea; inspired by a hilarious video I watched recently.

Disjunct I

She has been living like this for a long time.

Her materiality and her magical world
There is always a great disjunct.

Manto

If I ever give you a gift
I would give you a Saadat Hasan Manto.

Again, the Cliff

Here, people are asleep
And I found a solitary moment
With gentle breeze;
Ah, finally the cliff is empty!

It's not that
I didn't notice
Your brief glance at me
But I am very good at pretending and hiding things :)
