khuda majboor hai
panchtantra ki kahani ke
us hathi ki tarah
jise 6 andhon ne tatola
6 taraf se
aur maan liya
apne hi nishkarsh ko
sach sabse bada
un andhon ki
aginat andhi santano ne
baant liya hai khuda ko
aur bhi thoda-thoda
aur lad rahi hain aaj
apni-apni sachaiyon ke liye
khuda aaj bhi wahin khada hai
aur kar raha hai
na jane
kis ghadi ka intezaar
god is helpless
like the fabled elephant
of the panchtantra
who was felt over
on six sides
by six blind men
and they came to the conclusion
that theirs was the only true version
innumerable blind progeny
of those six blind men
have further divided god
little by little
and are fighting today
for their own truths
god is still standing there
and is waiting for
who knows
what moment to come

khuda khada hai,
kali ke intezaar mein,
woh anginat santaan jab kat jayenge apne hi haathon...
khuda khada hai apna nishkarsh dene,
jaante hue ki,
koi na ab maana hai na tab maanega...
ki khuda hai wohi...
khuda khada hai haara hua aaj... dehleez par jannat ke...
this is really AMAZING...
and this is what makes me believ that my adi still shows his glimpse at times....
welcome back
well said
Really deep.
Well - written

what r u waiting for before trying to get published as a book??
beautiful!!! and so very true...
god doesn't wait. god is. waiting is characteristic of man. when man stops waiting and starts being, he becomes khuda.
i would like to agree with Dharma, yet i choose to disbelieve for what dharma has said absolves me of any responsibilty...
god can be existential too you see, may be god is also waiting for godot...
This is so very thoughtful and deep.
Well written, Adi.
Cuckoo
beautiful thoughts
this story is used by Molavi (Rumi)too... to show the dogmatism of people...
you have used it very cleverly and beautifully... yes... a futile fight by the "believers"!
loved your sarcasm in the last stanza... very impressive...
shadows: ur adi is everythng what he writes. and not that too. again, u r stuck to just one side of the individual :)
pink: thanks buddy
arti: thanks poetess
howdy: for some chiding by dee and confidence in my market worth :)
chunky: sigh. yes it is true.
dharma: i understand god is what u r, urself. neither am wrong, nor u r right. and both r the same thing :)
OM: maybe. maybe not. maybe there is no god but me. maybe there is no me but only god.
cuckoo: thanks miss :)
shubajit: hey buddy, thanks a lot. how r u doing?
human: it is the believers who kill a belief. the world was much beutiful when we didnt fight for what we held true, so much that every other belief was suppossed untrue :(
if i were not to be stuck on just one side... i would be in love with adi.... this is the adi, im in love with... let it be... let me be the blind one for some time
So well expressed.
beautiful thoughts, well written
