I am not done yet

I am not done yet
as possible as yeast
as imminent as bread
a collection of safe habits
a collection of cares
less certain than i seem
more certain than i was
a changed changer
i continue to continue
what i have been
most of my lives is
where i’m going

Alif Laila - Title Song Lyrics - Doordarshan

 अलिफ लैला ओ ओ…

अलिफ लैला, अलिफ लैला, अलिफ लैला ओ ओ

अलिफ लैला, अलिफ लैला, अलिफ लैला

हर शब नई कहानी

दिलचस्प है बयानी

सदियाँ गुज़र गयी है

लेकिन न हो पुरानी

परियों को जीत लाये

जीनो को भी हराए

इंसान में वो ताकत

सब पे करे हुकूमत

अलिफ लैला ओ ओ ओ….

Additional Sessions Judge Amitabh Rawat - Poem

“Babu pleading for his bail;State opposing tooth and nail.
Summers bygone, winters have arrived;
But crime you did, and Rahul cried.
I am not the one, I am not the one;
Too grave the charge, don’t pretend.
Whom did I attack, where is he;
Oh! That we know, in the trial we will see.
You say I have said & I deny from the first blush;
Rahul may be gone yet Satish said.
Didn’t we say; don’t rush;
Let me go, let me go, even Imran is on bail.
Even then, even then; it wouldn’t be a smooth sail.
Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop;
I have heard, heard a lot.
Mind is clear, with claims tall;
Its my time to take a call.
Babu has a sordid past;
proof is scant, which may not last.
His omnipotence can’t be assumed;
Peril to vanished Rahul, is legally fumed.”
Take your freedom from the cage you are in;
Till the trial is over, the state is reigned in.
The State proclaims; to have the cake and eat it too; The Court comes calling ;
before the cake is eaten, bake it too.

--- Judge Amitabh Rawat
