Symphonies


O dear heart why are you so unfathomable?

Surround yourself in perplexing mysteries? 

 

Having all those desires is so ineradicable.

Why do you dream of those intangible epiphanies?

 

Leaving me crying with an abundance of tears unpalatable.

Yet there are those desires day and night like effigies. 

 

Losing myself to these I wonder if I am even capable?

Those desires, those effigies leading me to my miseries. 

 


Then there is this sound, unheard yet imaginable.

Resounding this heart into some complex symphonies 

 

Listening to it I am, leaving all my senses unnavigable 

Appears it to me, some well-crafted stories

 

What’s the story is, still a mystery unattainable 

Yet it appears to be there for centuries.

 

The heart resounded to it not knowing any variables

Is it just for a season or is it lasting for many journeys?

 

There are these desires now, that appear achievable 

These effigies and these mysteries seem canvased fantasies 

 

O dear heart this day it’s so fathomable. 

All those stories, desires and effigies making up my new destinies

Padmavat - A Review

Padmavat - A Review By Ahmed RIK Padmavat or a Sanjay Leela Bhansali's power ballad praising the valor, pride, and honor of the Rajputs. A film that had initially faced numerous crisis and controversies within India and that too by Rajputs themselves nowhere depicts Rajputs in an irksome position. Padmavat, as said in disclaimer too, is not a history lesson. So if you're thinking to get a history lesson on the real story of either the Sultan Khilji or Maharawal Rattan Singh and the conquest of Chittor than let me warn you at this stage, it not a history lesson. Rather it’s a beautiful and an epic visual adaptations of the epic poetry by Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi. Though the synopsis of the film and the story within the poetry differ but the main characters of the poem resemble. The film opens with a great depiction of what could possibly be the 1300s in Afghanistan and then centers into the dark dynasty of the Khaljis. Tha...

The Unorthodox Love

I don’t know how it all happened and I would never know how it would come to an end? All I now know is that I would have a green Khirqah (robe) and a saffron Stola covering me. There would be vermillion embossed between the parting of my hair and there would be garland around my neck. There would be anklets around my ankles and bangles around my wrist. The blood within me would be rushing out in your name and my eyes would be seeking your face. There would be loud blows of shehnai and battering of dhol. I would be swirling around, like the moon around the earth, in ecstasy while in my heart I would be chanting your name.There would be nothing unless it's you and then there would be you and me worshiping you. It would be your name that would be my fame. It's unorthodox, Wrong, Frowned upon but why doesn't it feel like it. Why does it feel right? Euphoric?  Mystic?
