Grand Touring
Grand Touring
After grand touring in world around
Now is the time to be content and relax
In
Childish old age
And
Face inquisitiveness
From
Who-so-ever
Keen to know our whereabouts!
Let anyone ask
Whatever to be asked!
Let anyone say
Whatever to be said!
Potato-tomato! Where have you been
Basking in grandpa's basket do-si-do
Getting weighed on weighing scale
Or
Holding weighing-scale
Measuring weight
Losing weight
Gaining weight
As weighing-stone
On
Weigh-bridge!
Being sold like dark black brinjal
Or
Being cooked in tomato curry
Rolly-polly in sellers' bag of ration
Or
Being fried as ghee-sugar
In
Confectionery shop!
Being chewed as carrot-radish
In
Wintery moon
Or
Going round and round as
Wheel and rope in curd, lassi, buttermilk
Or
Soothing eyes
At
Beauties on water-shores!
Exchanging smiles
While reading books
And
Studying reason
For
Touch of hand to be Qayamat
While exchanging books!
Impatient to meet each other
Falling sick in separation
Playing doctor-doctor, patient-patient
Looking into mirror ornamenting self
Or
Making face in mirror!
Enough grand touring
Come, let's return now
Let anyone say whatever to be said
Let anyone ask whatever to be asked!
Potato-tomato where have you been
Upto them
Whatever to accept or not
Basking in grandpa's basket do-si-do!
