"namaz" poems
Namaz have been prayed,
Duas have have been said,
Sev khurma and biryani is ready,
Just go slow and steady.
Make the most of this joyous day I request,
I wish you and your family all the best,
On this Eid Day

Namaz Namaz keh, koi Namazi na banjai
Namaz khuda ke liye hai bando'n ko kyu'n dikhlayei'n
Ayea hum aapko apni kalam ki roshnaai dikhayei'n
Gaur se gar dekhei'n aap kaali roshnaai mei'n hraa rang dikhjaye.

Namaz was less prayer and more about
Standing beside Amma and mirroring her,
When as a toddler I stood on the chataai
Murmuring as she did,
Bending down as she did,
Resting my head on the floor
And then waiting to come back up
When she did,
Some days I'd be so sleepy I'd sway on the mat,
Only to be jolted up by an angry Hmph! from her side,
Some days the patterns on the mat seemed like
They were God's silhouette- something she always denied,
Times of silently bonding with the Almighty and the Amma,
Slowly faded into me deciding to pray solo,
When the hour of maghrib coincided with a
Mother-daughter tiff,
And even when we stood praying side by side,
I'd make it a point to not let our sajdas coincide,
On the mat laying bare our rifts and divides.
I wonder if Amma noticed me daydreaming during prayer,
My musings whether God understood English,
My requests to Him to make that crush like me back,
My teenage self angrily bubbling at her obtrusions to my 'freedom'
As she prayed and prayed for me.
Years have passed,
And how I'd love to synchronise again,
The pace of our prayer, the length of our sajda,
But the days, and this new house,
Are now ridden with so much more clutter,
That, though the chataai has stayed the same,
There's not enough space to accommodate
Both daughter and mother.

I've read philosophy n studies astrology,
i even googled numerology a couple of times,
read the Bible and the Quran,
bowed down to an idol,
prayed the namaz,
I've played chess with god and cheated,
fallen in love with the devil,
found heaven on earth and even experienced
the 7th circle......
but of all things that I've learned in life
the truest lesson be this :
" Love is the reason why the Universe exists"

Deep at the tender dawn, when stars were fading,
A maiden came to me, covered in light,
Looked at me with her black eyes, while persuading
Me to do something heavenly and bright.
It was something specific, and disciplined,
I did not know, although I tried to think,
But because of sleep I was limited,
Becoming ignorant with every blink.
She said to me: ''You are in danger, youth.''
I said: ''I see no danger in my bed.''
She said again: ''the fact is far from truth.''
I took it serious, stood up and said:
''Maiden, who're you?'' she said: ''I am Namaz,
Observe me well my friend, and you may pass.''

*Tell me -
What else should I do?
From where I should
Bring some more LOVEz
Than the LOVEz
I am showing to YOUz?
I know you require much LOVEz
What is that extra bit of thing
That you want me to do
To make you forgive me?
OR
To let your LOVEz dewdrop
Form on me for a while
On my thirsty parched heart -
That longs for YOUR rainZ
What words I need to
Utter in my prayers?
What silence I need to
maintain in my namaz?
What lyrics I need to
Sing in my bhajans?
What sacrifices I need to
Offer for LOVEz sake?
What prayers will fulfill
Your deZiRe of LOVEz?
If I offer my death -
Will that keeps my LOVE alive in YOU?
Even if I serve my head on a plate
Will that be enough for
YOU to LOVEz me?
NO running, walking, crawling
And begging works in LOVEz
Because it creates fear
In YOU of my helplessness
I try my best
To bring a smile for YOU
To look as normal as I can
But...
How can I charm YOU
For you to rest your wits
And lean your LOVE
In my heart's favor?
Where to procure the balm
That soothes broken heart?
Where to buy the ointment
That heals life wounds?
Even YOUR little grief kills me
Because I am filled with YOU
BELOVEDz,
YOU pine for ideal LOVEz
While I yearn for YOU
How to become a butterfly
That YOU will allow to
Sit and **** YOUR honey?
From where can transport
YOUR LOVE clouds
That will descend over me
To rain cats & dogs?
From where can I bring
Those days & nights
That will make
Your sun & moon
Set and rise "everyday"
Over my revolving earth
Around your solar orbit?
From where can I flow
The pure water spring of LOVE
That would wash away my life
Into your blue ocean of LOVEz
Tell me -
What else should I do?
From where I should
Bring some more LOVEz for YOU....*
