तेरेलिये बस तेरेलिये
ये रात और नशा
तू ही तो बेवफा , तू ही तो बेवफा (तेरेलिये)
सौंधी सी खुशबू तेरी
और ये बिलखती रात
मद्धम मद्धम सी
सिसकियाँ लेती हुई तन्हा,
बेज़ुबान इस प्यार को कर गयी (तेरेलिये)
नशा ये प्यार का ढल ही जाएगा
कच्चे रंग की तरह धीमे धीमे
घुल जाएगा
उसके कजरारे अखियनन में ।
(तेरेलिये)

This afternoon, I was hunting for hotels for my luncheon. As there are not too many options at
Royapettah, Chennai, the area where I dwell, I decide to have my lunch from a
hotel which is nearby where I reside.
As I progressed to the entrance, I see an old man
approaching me and mumbling something. As he appeared extremely ugly, shabby
and malodorous, I decide to give him an ignore and went in to order food as
nothing came about.
But then, I knew from within that my conduct was
inappropriate, considering his age factor. When
this thought started pricking me, I decide to approach him. As he saw me
approaching, he got down to talk to me in English and politely requested me to
buy him some food. This behavior of his
intrigued me. Somewhere, I felt, he may
have been cast out by his family members.
First time ever, I decide to buy someone, who is neither my friend nor
family, something which he had asked for, and, that too for a homeless man. I ordered food for him, got it parceled and I
paid the bill for the gentle old man.
I became busy with munching down my lunch and by the time I
was done, I could see him nowhere in the vicinity. He had already left.
I walked down the junction, crossed the lane and I hear a
weaker voice trying to reach me from far behind; “Saar, saar. I bless you from
bottom of my heart. You have provided food to an orphan a homeless”.
I could very easily
relate to the word orphan and the emotions attached to it. My eyes got all teary. I requested him for
a photograph with him and he replied with a smile “with all my heart, and with pleasure”. (in English)
What could be his story?
I could be that homeless man tomorrow, who knows. Despite we
cling on to our family and friends, we live a farce life, where we make ourselves
believe that we are amongst those fortunate who are bound by all family and
friends. Maybe, this gentle old man,
also had the same feeling, until life knocked him down.

Here I stand
tall facing you, Naked
This isn’t a
feast for your lustful eyes.
Yes, I have the
bulges at the right place
chiseled
muscles - maybe
Indeed, my
bare chest is bushy
And, I have spiraled
pubes down there
Do you see my
man thighs that are pale?
My limp
manhood?
Do I make
you cringe?
Does me being malodorous suffocate your nostril??
This
shapeless ass of mine, does it offend you?
O, is that
my tanned skin which makes you drool
Or, is it my
stubble?
I am
vulnerable, yet I am strong
Alas, we
both have no choice
I am a male
by birth
And, I have
no womb
This is how
I was born.
But in here,
in the no-man’s land
It is a sin
It is a sin
It is a sin to
be born with no womb
The curse has come upon us
From now on, O’ son of Adam
From now on, O’ son of Adam
You will be
deprived of your own lineage
You will
remain an outcast from your own clan
as, you are merely
a sperm donor.
