The Poor Girl-Child Of India (On The Eve Of Children's Day)

The poor girl-child of India
Describe and delineate I,
She taking stale food
And the left-overs
...

The world is maya, moha
And it is difficult to cut the bonds of illusion,
The cobwebs of maya,
This house, family, life and world,
...

When I See The Flowers And The Simple Children

When I see the flowers, I feel shame in calling myself a poet,
When see I the beautifully looming flowers,
So radiant, so colourful and fast,
So sparkling and caclking.
...

(Ek mahila ko bus mei tin-chaar baccho ke saath dekhakar)

Bacche bhagavan detei hain.
'Accha thik hai, tumhara koi dosh nahi.'
...

You just try to see,
See
The face of children,
The face of women
...

Children Talking About Animals In The Park

In the park
By the pond
Saw I
The bear, the kangaroo,
...

In the train compartment
The eyes though unaware of
Fell upon
A woman,
...

They really are
The people to celebrate
And it is but sweets
Which make it remember,

On Reading Midnight's Children

Saleem Sinai playing
The shehnoi music
On the eve of midnight freedom
With the likewise midnight children
...

Did we ever invite in
Saleem Sinai
While celebrating
The fifty years
...

The Partition of India,
Who the guilty men of the Partition
And for them,
Why did they suffer the people,
...

The conspiracies of history,
The intrigues of history,
Of politics and time,
Marked he, felt he

Midnight's Children: Facts & Fictions

Salman can feel it
What would it have gone
Into the tryst with independence,
The midnight declaration
...

Midnight's Children

Midnight's children,
Partition's stories
Stitched and re-stitched,
Dream children of Partition,
...

The Alexander Pope, the John Dryden of India
Mocking, poking fun at the Partition plan,
Who the architects of, how the sentiments
Of the people of the then times,
...

Saleem Sinai
The shehnoi man
Playing the music
In the temple of Kashi Viswanath
...

How did they partitions and divide
The nation,
The Indian nation,
How the freedom fighters and nationalists,
...

On World Children Day

The Slum Children

What have we done for the poor children and women
Even after the attainment of India's freedom,
What have we for them,
Are they free today, are they independent,
...

The crows crowing,
Black-black crows cawing
Into the hungry country,
Poverty-stricken,
...

I Think About The Drunkard's Poor Wife And Children

I think,
Think about the drunkard's
Poor wife and poor children,
How does he come drunk and in tipsy,
...

Dalit, Dalit,
Have you,
You ever tried to know,
Know the meaning
...

Blue Whale,
Blue Whale,
Killing the small children,
Claiming innocent lives,
...

27.

I feel it myself sad
When I see them
The women, widows and children
To think
...

With politics to do,
Think I of
The women, widows and children
On Human Rights Day,
...

Those who can fire on the Buddhas,
The Bamiyan Buddhas
Can definitely
On the innocent school children,
...

The Almighty gives,
God-father has,
It's not me,
Said he.
...

Let Us Play Police, Chor, Sepoy Like The Children

Let us play like the small children,
Hiding and seeking and searching,
As the play is famed for,
Police, Chor, Sepoy,
