Felt like bringing this to those who would care to listen once again.
For what wanton crime we are doing to our daughters, and our underprivileged ones

[Paul Holdengraber @holdengraber]

“So long as that woman from the Rijksmuseum
in painted quiet and concentration
keeps pouring milk day after day
from the pitcher to the bowl
the World hasn't earned
the world's end.”
~ Wisława Szymborska

बहुत घुटन है कोई सूरत-ए-बयाँ निकले
अगर सदा न उठे कम से कम फ़ुग़ाँ निकले
सितम के दौर में हम अहल-ए-दिल ही काम आए
ज़बाँ पे नाज़ था जिन को वो बे-ज़बाँ निकले

साँप !
तुम सभ्य तो हुए नहीं
नगर में बसना
भी तुम्हें नहीं आया।
एक बात पूछूँ--(उत्तर दोगे?)
तब कैसे सीखा डँसना--
विष कहाँ पाया?

[Vishal Bhardwaj @VishalBhardwaj]

Ho gayi hai peer parvat si pighalni chahiye
Is Himalaya se koi Ganga nikalni chahiye
Sirf hungama khada karna mera maqsad nahin
Meri koshish hai ki ye soorat badalni chahiye
Mere seene mein nahin, to tere seene mein sahi
Ho kahin bhi aag lekin aag jalni chahiye
- Dushyant Kumar
