Conspiracy


               

Who knows them in their inner reality?
It is a conspiracy
Which is visible to the outer eye and audible to the ear
Is being focused as the reality in life


It is a conspiracy to equate the innocents -
Who could not ask food when they are hungry
Who could not ask water when they are thirsty -
With the effluent and secured class in the society

Looking at the beautiful upper shervani
Not looking at the torn inner-shirt
Looking at the mehandi embellished palms
Listening to the beautiful words
Not listening to the inner sorrows
Not looking at the melancholy behind the dazzling eyes
And the long faces behind the burkhas
Not talking about the blazing hunger
On the adolescence burning at hotels
Being soiled in the mechanic sheds
On the childhood that is burning on Ice-cream push carts
The creamy female youth that is sold only for a square meal
It is a conspiracy you never talk the inside

You talk about only
The inherited, empty, abandoned palaces and
Call them Navabs is a conspiracy
Their history through your word is a conspiracy

Can you give them back their old good life?
Which was exposed only by their false prestige
Should I ask the Allah, when can he give
The virtue of their five time namaz
Can they totally lean on Allah can they call him in ‘Azas’
Can they knock at him by their ritual fasting

Branding them as Navabs
covering them by the religious mask of muslims
is it not the hatched conspiracy
They lost the glorious past and the
present day consideration as back ward people

Flattering of their Charminar,
Showing the Tajmahal as symbol of love and cease off love towards them
Talking of Lalkhila, Fatepur sikri, Buland Darwaj, Gumbazas and Minars
Not talking of their hunger and gloomy life
Is a great conspiracy

When all these evidences prove a clear conspiracy
The word, the song the whole of their culture.. ‘they’
Become conspirators against the country.. Branded enemies
They entangled in the conspiracy and struggling for their own life
Velama, Reddy, Karanam, Munsub, Deshmukh
Who transformed the villages as mini forts
Misrules and oppressions of these mini forts
Took shelter under name of Navabs
Never come to fore but only ‘navabs’…
Is a conspiracy

When their religion is not alien while the whole village
Celebrate the ‘Moharram Festival’
When the iids and Idgas are not alien
while every one of village worships there for boons
But few miscreants’ mischiefs make
every one of them enemies to the country – is a conspiracy

Who knows them in their inner reality?
Which is visible to the outer eye and audible to the ear
Is being focused as the reality in life
Is a conspiracy..!!!
