Response poem 3: Yatish




जिस दिल में
भय बैठा हो
वहाँ इश्क़ के
लिए कैसे जगह
बन सकती है
या फिर जिस
दिल में इश्क़
सेंध लगा दे
वहाँ फिर भय
कैसे और कितनी
देर टिक सकता है
जहाँ पर हो सोच-विचार
तर्क-वितर्क की दरकार
इश्क़ नही वो है व्यापार

जो जूनून जूनून में
मजनूँ हो जाए
लोक लाज समाज
के भय से दूर
वही इश्क है
वो इबलीस जिसकी
मोहब्बत का सिला
क़ैद-ए-जहन्नुम निकले
जो हल्लाज बन
अल –हक़ हो जाए
वही इश्क है
जो फैज़ बन
जेलों में सिगरेट
के डिब्बो पर
हम देखेंगे लिख जाए
जो ज़ुल्मत-ए-ज़िया
से लड़कर जालिब
की तरह आज़ाद हो जाए
वही इश्क है

Love Poem: Rubina

Over-wait  by Rubina  How long must you wait, To finally lose enough weight? To have hair that's smooth and straight, But still be hairless bait?  Do you remember all the jalebi you ate? Was it really worth the jiggly gait? And those glasses aren't exactly ornate, Although they do hide those sideburns, at any rate.  You've been on a diet since you were eight. Getting monthly waxes since 2008. Always trying to find the perfect breastplate, To enhance, modify, and accentuate.  Letting too many around you berate, What you and your body create. How long must you wait, To finally lose the hate? To not let the social dictate, Your worth and your fate?

Moonlit Roundabout:Response Poem 2

Narrow was the lane, But so broad the intent. Bought were the things too small, But long was the journey it went. Starry was the surrounding, Glamorous the walls, Sumptuous the history Eerie lifelines so said them all. Meatloaf jumping in the air, Fruits glittering the moonlight, Prayers riding from pointing buildings, Blessed the kid with a visage so bright. Clumsy households, So thin the closing doors, They broke from the surrounding world, Even ruling statues, couldn't bring them close.
