This War Is Not Going To End

I am hiding in the corner of a house….
Outside is more insecure and unsafe
and might be disastrous
I am in no mood for adventure
Conditions are bad even though suicide attacks
are not yet started in Karachi but are occurring farther North
Life is miserable there…
I can bet this war is not going to end
rather keep spreading to more and more areas
Fighting is not the solution to the problem
when you cannot even locate and catch your real enemy
War is waste of time, energy and money!
War is a bloody affair
The vanquished and the victors both are losers
they pay a price for their ‘caprice’!!

Let People Have Their Way!

It was heartening to hear Hillary Clinton remark a while ago on the TV that holding negotiations with the Talibans is possible provided they delinked themselves from Al-Qaida.

I think this is a good gesture by US leadership because evidently ( the war is entering almost its 9th year without any worthwhile gain!) war is not the solution to the problem. The Talibans and the common men are not the same and this distinction has to be made by the super powers. What is happening now is that the grit is also going with the grind with the result that those (the majority) who are with the Americans and the West are turning against them.

The super powers should also realize the fact that it is almost impossible to change the ideology of the Talibans. They are fundamental Muslims and would literally do any thing to have their own way. Why not let them have it in their own area or devise some way to banish them to some isolated place on earth as was done with criminals to inhabit Australia.

It is not surprising to see that the super powers have already failed to change the minds of people through force and even confining them to the hardships of Gitmo. Let the people have their way as long as they don't pose any threat to you. Mrs Clinton's statement seems to be a positive step in that regard and should be welcome by all.

Mazhur

جندڑی دکھاں پری

اوئے ماں دیا دینیا باز آجا

اے بھار میرے موہنڈے توں لا جا

کنوار کڑی توں روز پھنسائیں

کلیاں کلیں عیش اڈائیں

ونڈ معشوق دی پیندی  نئی وے

ادھی زنانی ہوندی نئی وے

 سانوں وی اپنے نال تو لے چل

ہورے ساڈی وی بن جائے گل

اپنی اپنی معشوق پھنسا کے

چلئیے فیر کشمیر دے لاگے

دل لاکے رل کے سیراں کریئے

کھیڈئیے ھنسئیے گھٹ گھٹ جپھیاں پائیے

رب سوہنے دا ناں سدا وے اچا

آجا شکر کرئیے بھگوان خدا دا

لب ہی جائے گی کوئی سوہن پری

لنگ جائے گی جندڑی دکھاں  پری

The Rape Of Christmas

Man proposes God disposes;
With shadows of death
lurking around,
Suicide bombers ruthlessly killing
innocent men, women and children
with every passing day;
Men in suicide jackets
Men in shiny uniforms
both loaded with paraphernalia of Death
with a singular aim to kill,
rape poor helpless women
abuse every abandoned child
One drunk with overdose of heroine
The Other intoxicated
with the pride of Power and Pelf,
Ah! these shameless rogues!
On the other we, the common men,
cannot even imagine of
Sex, marijuana, Rock n Roll
Every day is hell for us
Every night a purgatory;
Speak not of Christmas or Eid
Both are dead days for me!

Eat!

Meat or veggies
forget them all
come closer boy
kowtow or crawl

lick it for pleasure
or eat it all
the hunger in you
is sure to fall.

you don’t need teeth
to eat this divine gift
forget meat and veggies
to this now shift.

some call it love
some fruit of love
it grows in hearts’
little gourmet’s cove.

The Story of Creation

/
Mankind is here on this Earth
to do its wages as its will proposes;
the Creator has nothing to do with them!
It doesn’t tax you like governments,
It doesn’t impose “speaking” penalties on you;
If you think there’s a Creator(and there should be One)
and It is the Master of our destinies;
If you think It has authored some Books
to show the Right Path to Its Creation;
If you think It sent Jesus and Muhammad
to convey Its message to one and all;
If you think It has given you a will
to decide between Good and Evil;
If you think It allows you to live as you liked
without blaming It for your own successes and failures;
If you think It is the Supreme Being
the Lord of the Seven Worlds;
If you think Nothing happens without It’s leave
yet everything happens on the behest of humans;
If you think It chucked out Adam and Eve from Paradise
for their blatant disobedience;
If you think It punished mankind for your Original Sin
pushing aside its tolerance and mercy;
Then you are definitely Wrong my friend,
in blaming It for your own deeds;
You are overbearing even in holding Jesus
responsible for the sins of Mankind;
Unreasonable it is to hold Messengers liable-
Muhammad, Jesus, Buddha, Moses and all-
for they did convey what they were ordained to;
Prescience goes hand in hand with changing times-
an over watered plant wouldn’t bear fruit spontaneously;
thus were revealed the scriptures to the Mankind-
as the students learn in stages in schools;
O my friend! won’t you note the prudence
the One and the Only manifests in his signs?
If all goes well your way you are happy
If something doesn’t meet your pleasure
you will to cuss God? oh, no, that’s not fair!
The Creator is No Joke, It doesn’t like jokes
It sees you and hears you all
Without imposing It’s will on you!
As shall you sow so shall you reap;
Rightly Man proposes God disposes;
How could You be It’s judge??
It is mightier than Boss of all Bosses!
If a tiny creature of this earth called Boss
can for your shortcomings
chuck you out without Notice
give you an increment as he wishes;
you have No say against him, do you??
mankind is answerable to the Creator
who has done what he intended
leaving choices for you to make!
It is Not of the same substance as any Boss
but the Boss and his Bosses contain
some of It’s traits;
It is It’s will to be tolerant and kind,
merciful or cruel, glad or angry,
It’s traits are in couples, positive and negative!
It is ALL in All!
He makes the final Decision as It may please It;
Mankind is here on this Earth
to do its wages as its will proposes;
the Creator has nothing to do with them!
It doesn’t tax you like governments,
It doesn’t impose speaking penalties on you;
what perhaps it wants from it’s Creation is
good deeds and It’s remembrance
for All It has bestowed on it!
Let Humankind do its ordained wages
for the eternal soul-bird to fly back to It
freed from its corporeal cages!

The Universe Sucks

Crystal wine may evaporate
and turn into drunken clouds
leaving the coarse lees behind;
The Universe only sucks
On the face of the Truth
listen to what my friend says:
gravity doesn’t exist,
that the Universe only sucks.
To his point of view
I may agree in terms of science;
heavy particles fall down
lighter fines whiz up
Crystal wine may evaporate
and turn into drunken clouds
leaving the coarse lees behind;
when the end comes near
the feathery-light soul
flutters to take a leap
into the sky
leaving the dense body behind
until it rots and turns into dust
and finally sucked into the Unknown!
