KHUDKUSHI

(The fact that the Moon is drifting away from the Earth at 1.5 inches per year)

Wada e tawaf ke zer e asar

Markaz e zameen ko kahan hai khabar

Ki qadam ba qadam su e khala bhi

Chaand ka chal raha hai safar

خود کشی

(کہ چاند ۱.۵ انچ کی شرح سے ہر سال زمین سے دور جا رہا ہے)

وعدۂ طواف کے زیرِ اثر

مرکزِ زمین کو کہاں ہے خبر

کہ قدم بہ قدم سوئے خلا بھی

چاند کا چل رہا ہے سفر 

CHANDRAYAAN

Moon is our ancestral home
Where elder souls go to live
That's why it's so bright
My grandmother belived so

(Not really! We're not so simpleton
Illiterate or superstitious
We never have been
We the nation of Kalhana
Abhinavagupta,and Budshah
But it fits your narration of us
We the uncivilized, gullible
Terrorist nation
So be it)

As you expunge violently
Lynchings, custodial killings, mob violence
Rape cries, witch-huntings, justice
And launch your backwardness into space
I hope you've spacetech advanced enough
To hear the slogans of our ancestors
On Moon
