Connection



Connection

Feelings matter, as the basis of connect
Else warm words can be cold, disconnect

Elements




Elements

Anger has no range
Yet they are anagrams, strange!

Foolhardy





Foolhardy

PowerPoint presentation has neither power nor any point
Only bullets with skill that kill the powerful mind

The immeasurable




The immeasurable

A mango, an apple; both are sweet, says the tongue
The difference cannot be written in words

Still movement





Still movement

Light comes from darkness, sound from silence
The movement is in the illusion of the organs

Origin



Origin

Coal and diamond have the same womb
Children with different looks and worth

Doha

State of work

Everyone is working, laughing, playing
Boss, not proud, but worried about the job

Voice

Whenever the energy bundle’s voice rings
It sounds like a child, always, why

Yes, you are right

God is angry, revengeful; up in his arms to see you unsuccessful
Oh! Let me drink my coffee! Please?

Success

We are successful. Wars belong to the museums now.
Borders are protected from by the neighbours.

Personal

I kiss my lady. Onlookers pelt stones.
I burn her to death. Onlookers smell a personal choice.




Doha [normally in Hindi and Urdu], is a couplet with 24 instants (Matras) [13+11]. The rules for distinguishing light and heavy syllables are different in Sanskrit; In the Doha [English] I am trying to write, more than the rules, the message is important; couplet form is the only rule followed here. This is because, I am not a man of strict rules, I like rules when they function as banks of a river to mobilise its flow, nothing more and nothing less. Anybody can come and join in the river of Doha!

Doha on mind

Mind has to die for the soul to emerge
Mind is the part that first needs to purge

Soul only is the search that mind has to find
So lonely is the track in silence has to mind

Doha from an outcast

I love terrorists and I bless them with all my heart
Want to kiss them on their hands, in their minds with all my art …

Kindness to ugliness, a doha

Let me drink a little ugliness
While beauty sleeps in the glass of her partner poetess
