When I Didn'T Know Pirs Don'T Marry Others

When I Didn't Know Pirs Don't Marry Others O love! How was it before! When we were free… That Nature's our yard; And played whole days, the amusing love-games. When something like ‘society’ we didn’t know; When our families had no role. When I didn’t know your religious father’s as adamant And your charming brother as antagonistic. When I didn’t know, I must make money—somehow And earn you. When I didn’t know, ‘pirs don’t marry others!’ When I presented you on paper-pieces Sweet fragments, and you Acknowledged with slipping smiles, and chic chuckles, Or loud laughs And called it exaggeration. When we thought it as easy And fought on phone, on naming our children, I preffered a flimsy female child And you wanted tough boys. (Pir is a clergyman in kashmiri) and they restrain from marrying Muslims of other castes.
