Barefoot dance on open road,
Amidst the clamor, a sudden code.
Hailstones fell, embers alight,
No umbrella to shield the light.
Didn't dawn, the mind's escape,
To flee or stand, in defiant shape?
Then thought, what's wet, must dry,
Be it female or a male sigh,
Attention!
Rolled a new die, a trick she spun,
Trapped me in chains, this life is done.
Rolled a new die, a trick she spun,
Trapped me, this life is a silly pun, you know.
You, the one I played hide-and-seek,
Laila, Shirin, Sohni, Juliet, speak!
Search me not in forests, nor in fairs,
WhatsApp, yes, yes, yes, beyond all cares.
Neither yours nor mine, this age's sway,
Neither female nor male, to hold at bay.
You, who pulled my dhoti low,
You seek the lost, where do you go?
Neither Kaaba nor Kashi I embrace,
On Twitter, my DP, find my space.
Listen, friend, the heart betrayed,
Eyes met yours, a love displayed.
My senses lost, my reason gone,
The heart's command, the eyes' drawn.
New dreams are dreamt each day,
The heart's bee calls, listen, stay.
Hide not in your veil, deceiver,
The love-priest's heart, a believer.
Wept and spoke of love's fire,
Wept and sang, higher, higher, higher.
Hide not in your veil, deceiver,
The love-priest's heart, a believer,
Wept and sang, higher, higher,
Dope dang dang ding ding dang.
