Bakhtiyar, Your Horses Those Of A Nomadic Invader, A Barbarian Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Bakhtiyar, your horses
Human not, animals,
Galloping with
To loot, plunder, invade
Just as the goons do it,
Criminals do the crime,
The convicts put behind the bars!

Bakhtiyar, were your parents
Not educated,
Cultured and civilized
That destroyed you
Vikramshila,
Devastated and demolished it,
Bakhtiyar, criminally!

Had the people been united,
They would have driven you out,
Had the people been,
An invader you,
A zealot, a bigot
Religiously blind!


Mark it, Bakhtiyar,
Religion is fanaticism,
Blindness,
To be bigoted to one's faith,
Religion is not
Loot and plunder
Of monasteries!

Destroying Vikramshila,
How have you turned
Into a criminal,
A villain
Uncouth and clumsy
And shabby,
Bakhtiyar!
