On Karva Chauth Women viewing the moon Through a sieve An wishing long life To their husbands With dishes in another hand Full of flowers, sweets, diyas And others.
Reminding of Savitri and Satyavan Under the banyan tree, Shiva Ratri, The beginning of the commercial crops And the harvest of the rainy ones, The married and marriageable Marking the moon rise to pray to.
But I searching my own Burquawalli bibi In the ghumta, purdah, Hijab and nikab, Going as my shadow, The moon of the clouded skies, Playing hide and seek, The moon under the patches of clouds.
