Two poems inspired by Asifa’s death
I refuse the idea
That one has to transgress humanity
To kill Asifa
So do not fall for it.

The producer’s words broke his tandra, the reverie. In hard crisp and distant voice, he was saying, “Cut the girl from the story”. Without fully listening and comprehending what the producer had said, Bhudho said, “What? Remove the girl from the story? The girl is at the centre of the story. If we remove the girl, then what will be the centre of the story?”

And her killers, her killers
are they too wandering
or pimping in the temple
aflame with blood?

I write for Asifa,
I hold a pen,
As my daughter sleep besides me.
