Salman Rushdie going with the jinn bhoot
And she not leaving him behind,
A man in the know of nazar-gozar
And he in love with them
...
Syrian daughters,
Small-small,
Beautiful daughters,
I am pained,
...
To hold someone responsible for all is not good,
Let us think if we are good,
If we are not good, how can you that you are good?
...
Jai Sri Ram,
Ram-Ram bhai,
How are you? ,
One Hindustani man

Time has changed,
Time has,
But your memory,
Your memory has not,
...
After having a tryst with
The dish of
The frog, snake, dog, cat,
Lizard, scorpion or chameleon
...
Is a travel dairy, a tour diary
Which he undertakesit Nicaragua,
Telling about the people and places,
Party, politics and power equations,
...
Let there be light and there was light.
Light dispelling darkness,
Illuminating it all,
What it dark, let it be,
...
This is India,
The India of leaders, policemen, politicians, pleaders,
Administrators, academicians, civil servants,
Doctors, teachers, officials,
...
Rushdie is a jinn-lover
And his romance and love for her
Is the source of his stories,
An Ali Baba or Allauddin with the lamp
