The Rainbow


Alone in the dark closet, where my dreams unfold,
Of riches and jewels of diamonds and gold.
I love to love and feel someone in my arm's span,
My dream is to be loved by a man.

Birds of same feather flock together,
It is time to make it true.
I want to be with a man forever,
And paint his body in blue.

Fate smiled at me and threw me on his lap,
He kissed my lips and let me into his trap.
A cage of gold, a drop of honey,
Night long fun and rain of money.
I am the king of his heart,
And a gentleman he is, tall and smart.

My family disowns me, society frowns on me,
They want to kill us but they're not gonna get us.

He will protect me and so will I.
I am the servant of a man.
I have come out of the closet.
The rainbow smiles on me.
The Sun shines and birds fly,
Their colour I vividly see.

I know you are jealous
And you have nothing to say.
I have come out of my closet;
I am happy and gay.

The Whispers

I am born with a defect, you cannot mend it.
I think in an infinite curve, you cannot straighten it.
You can take away my life, I will not defend it.
I will still have my honour, you cannot dent it.

I undergo pain, you cannot imagine it.
I suffer without a word, you cannot bear it.
You can slap me, I will not reciprocate it.
I shed a drop of tear, you cannot taste it.

I still love you, you cannot understand it.
I will take a bullet for you, you won't see it.
You can enjoy my body, I will not resist it.
I moan with pain and happiness, you cannot gauge it.

I bore a life within me, you cannot believe it.
If the life is she, you will not let it live.

You know the defect?
I am a woman, born in captivity and will die in so.



--- Dear reader, please respect the woman in your life.
Its for her you live. She gives you the happiness while
undergoing tremendous pain.
She stands in front so that you do not take a bullet. (Nandigram 2007)
She suffers agonising pain so that secrets of a Nation remains safe. (Noor Inayat Khan)

If we continue to kill female foetus and burn our wives, history will not forgive us.

She

Come in love, I’ll make you a cup of tea,
Let’s go love, I'll take you out in the sea,
We'll play with dolphins and water so blue
And I kiss your lips so deep and true.

Come in love, I'll sing songs for you
That's all I can do
Sparkles and diamonds are so untrue..
A guitar and a fireplace
That's all I've got for you.

If you are bored love, I shall paint for you,
Brush and colours, paper and canvas
A night-long chorus, just for you
The riches are so untrue..
A brush and colours
That's all I've got for you.

Khyapar Gaan

Bandhura shob adda marte
Shomoyer kache harte harte
Diye jaaye sabe jibon'er poroaana

Shob'der pore shobdo shajiye
Din ki raat'er hishabe na giye
Jhore chole joto golper shabudana!

Chai'er cup aar cigg taar
Mukhe fuute chhote fuuljhuri aar
Sune choli saara din-raat taai

Chokhe'te taar harai nijeke
Mobile phone'er chhobi'ta nimeshe
Aar buuke jhore ekmutho icchedana

Ekhon ghorete ekla andhare
Taar kotha bhabi ratri dupure
Guitar'er taare sureder aanagona
