Twinkle Not Little Star
Thariq
Is to be up on Sky glittering as a star
But his fate his name to be with his birth registrar
Thariq
Not of tricks
But a sick of Autistic
Just seen
His fourteen
Mother to leave
Letting his father to relieve
A sportsman turned salesman
His father
Sweating hard for his son’s wellbeing further
Breaking the dark in a day of locked down In Dharga Town
Thariq walked in the time day passing down town
In a state of physically his mind came down
In a police post at a junction
The curfew made it a lonely location
Thariq drew the police attention
To beat,to bleed the agony how to mention?
Beyond the child’s repeated objection
Thariq fell down like a star wounded
Burned down not but turned down
Thariq the sick,was in a state of critic
In the hands of police behaved lunatic
Forgetting their oath to be patriotic
Public torture all what the complain
In assault of police going mental pain
He cried of pain
Beating again and again like with a chain
In the enviers of catching virus
News caught via media making it viral
One to no Mother
More mothers to join
One to only father
Further to come on line
To bear all his pain asking where is mine?
To the one in his puberty
To share his poverty
To bring to books all guilty
To see his smile in his prosperity
To give to his affairs a top priority
To think to be with him is their responsibility
To go down for him to pray Allah the almighty
What happened to Thariq is a matter of shy
The grace of God to all comes from Sky
He is near like a star to one comes in cry
How blessed Thariq to make his eyes wet God dry?
