Maa, thou art the cosmos
Thou hast the one in your core
Hold me tight in thy arms
For I am perfectly safe there
Thou art the greatest teacher
God hath made.
One of a kind,
An idol of renunciation,
Tender-hearted thou art,
I am deeply indebted to you
The blood running through our veins
is yours, O! maa
Hold me tight in thy arms
for I am perfectly safe there!

Happy mothers day
On the black blazing ‘coal-tar
A thirty pound
Rotten flesh, lies bare
It stinks..
One broken yellowish bowl
Lying beside and the blanket
Abode of so many louse
Now on the flesh
Having lunch, not so piquant
Eyes which have no fire
Squirted blood until now
And closed itself
With so many dreams and hopes,
Many vehicles have passed
How eerie with so many young boys and the lass
It is still there!
I assure it will not get its pyre
But,How benevolent our God is
Providing him fire
More than any pyre
Yes more than any pyre…..
Glossary- god means sun god here

An old laywoman
And her earthen pot
Not having an iota of grain
And chulah which has no fire O! God
The paper thick layer
On feeble bone
Having nobody to care
She is all alone
Broken glasses
With rubber band in it
Memories converted into ashes
Tears sliding down her cheeks
Sitting by the door
Knees drawn to her chest
Having no hope in its core
Soul is yearning for the chapel of ‘rest
Shabby hut
With blazing heat inside
Sweat, alms and handful of guts
Except these she has nothing in her hide
Ah! Except these she has nothing …….

This is the naked picture of our abode
We have to fight it, and change it
Rise o dreamer rise from your dream
