About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

Opportunity

when it comes knocking
I leap to open the door
neither comes twice
LPG gas or opportunity

(dedicated to my gas distributor who needs to be called dozens of times before he books a refill)

I, me , myself

out with I, me, mine
I told myself
and lauded my
quick progress
till I espied

the ubiquitous my

mautbar

na dil mein reham hai, na aankhon mein aansoo
na dast e duaa kisi muflis ke haq mein
anjuman mein tumhari honge shehdaii laakhon
na ho mautbar tum hamaari nazar mein
