YOUR ‘HONOR’,

[FOR THE NAME OF LAND GOLD AND WOMEN]

I LIKE TO SAY ……………..

I HONOR MY HONOR

AND I DO NOT DOUBT OTHERS,

WHO HONOR THEIR HONOR

AND

NEEDLESS TO SAY

YOU HONOR YOUR HONOR

AM I ACCURATE, ME LORD

WHAT DO YOU STARING AT?

I AM ASKING THE AUDIENCE NOT YOU, YOUR HONOR

APPARENTLY, THEY HAVE COME TO KNOW THE RESULT OF HOW YOU JUDGE, MY ‘HONOR’,

‘MY PRESTIGE’,

‘MY DESTINY’

WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT

YOU DO NOT WRITE THE DESTINIES OF DESTINED OTHER THAN ACCURATING INACCURACIES, AM I RIGHT,

ME LORD?

SHALL I ASK THEM TO LEAVE THE COURT OF JUSTICE

OR

SHOULD I ASK THEM TO LEAVE US, ALL, ALONE

OH! REALLY!

I DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE IS NO SUCH A LAW IN THE BOOK OF JUSTICE TO ORDER PEOPLE SUCH A WAY

THAT MEANS,

I CAN NOT ASK THE AUDIENCE TO LEAVE MY PREMISES OF PRIVACY

NO! NO! IT IS NOT THAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND

IT IS YOUR PREMISES OF JUSTICE NOT MY PREMISES OF PRIVACY

ME LORD, I HAVE A BURNING QUESTION TO ASK YOU

‘HOW DO YOU PROTECT A PRIVACY OF A VICTIM’ UNTIL YOU WRITE THE SENTENCE OF DESTINY, IN THE COURT OF JUSTICE

I OFTEN USE INACCURATE TERMS AND SENTENCES

PARDON ME FOR THAT, YOUR HONOR

‘SENTENCE’ ARE YOU GOING TO SENTENCE ME TILL DEATH FOR WRITING THIS, ME LORD?

HOPE NOT

WHAT DO YOU ALL STARING AT ME?

WITH AN ODD LOOK

AGAIN I AM ASKING THE ORDINARY NOT YOU, YOUR HONOR

LOOK!

I AM A CLEAN WOMAN

I HAVE NOT COMMITTED ANY CRIME

I HAVE NOT MURDERED A SINGLE MAN OTHER THAN ‘SELF’

WHAT LAW YOU HAVE FOR THAT, YOUR HONOR TO SAFE GUARD A SELF,

A GUARD OF SELF, A GUARDIAN OF A MIND

WHAT PUNISHMENT YOU WRITE FOR ME, YOUR HONOR ‘FOR SAYING THE THINGS THAT YOU DO NOT LIKE’

AND

I HAVE NOT TAKEN A SINGLE RUPEE AS A BRIBE

I HAVE NOT SUPPORTED TO KILL SAIRA, YOUR HONOR

BELIEVE ME,

YOUR HONOR I WRITE ALL THESE IN THE NAME OF THE TERM ‘ HONOR’

AND

BECAUSE I HONOUR, ‘HONOUR’

I DO RESPECT ‘HONOR’, THE TERM AND THE ‘MEANING, THE HONOR’

NO! I DID NOT EVEN KNOW THAT THERE WAS SUCH A PLAN, ME LORD TO KILL SAIRA

NO!

I AM NOT A NEIGHBOUR OF SAIRA either

BELIEVE ME, ME LORD

I DID NOT GIVE A SINGLE CALL TO ‘THE MODERN KHAN FAMILY, ME LORD

WHAT IS WRONG IN believing MODERNIZATION, ME LORD?

WHAT IS WRONG IN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ‘A STAUS OF MIND’ OTHER THAN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, MIND OF A STATUE

PROOF!

MY WORDS ARE MY PROOF, ME LORD

NO! I HAVE NO OTHER PROOF TO SHOW YOU ME LORD, I HAVE SHOWN IT TO MY ‘OWN HEART’, ALREADY

SO ………………………

YOU (PLURAL) THINK I AM A SPOILED WOMAN?

WHAT LAW DEFINES, BETTER, A MIND OF A FATHER, ME LORD?

WHAT LAW DEFINES, BETTER, A MIND OF A LOVER OF A DIFFERENT NATION’, ME LORD?

IN THE NAME OF OUR HONOUR, ME LORD, I SAY, THE LAWS DO NOT UNDERSTAND ‘SOME PAGES OF HUMAN MIND’

IS IT BECAUSE, THE LADY COVERED HER EYES WITH A PIECE OF CLOTH?

NO! NO!

I UNDERSTAND, BETTER, ME LORD

MY INSIGHTS, SAYS SO

THAT IS TO, NOT LOOK AT THE SKIN COLOUR, CLASS, CASTE, REGION OF THE VICTIM, SUSPECT

AM I RIGHT?

WHAT IS THE GOOD-SIDE OF ‘FOLLOWING A MIDDLE PATH’ WITHOUT TRYING TO BE AN EXTREMIST

IS EVERY EXTREMIST A CRIMINAL, ME LORD?

PARDON ME, DID I USE A WRONG SENTENCE?

I AM TENSED, IS IT A CRIME? ME LORD

OR

IS IT PURELY A TERM OF PSYCHOLOGY’,

A STATUS OF MIND OF A HUMAN

I AM TORMENTED WATCHING HOW SAIRA WAS KILLED, ME LORD

WHY GOLD AND GEMS WORTH THAN A BIT OF SAND?

A PECK OF DUST,

FORGET GOLD FOR A MOMENT

A LAND WITH GOLD

HOW ABOUT THE THEORY, ‘ALL IN ONE’

LAND, GOLD AND WOMEN

DO WOMEN EQUAL TO GOLD, ME LORD

IS A LAND ONLY WITH SAND A LESS FERTILE, UNCULTIVATABLE? FOOLISH ME WHAT VALUE IN THAT?

A LAND WITH SAND

ARE THERE ANY VALUERS, ME LORD WHO UNDERSTANDS THAT, FOR A CONCRETE, FOR A BETTER FOUNDATION, YOU NEED A BIT OF SAND NOT GEMS,

EVEN IN THIS MODERN WORLD?

THE STATISTICS, ME LORD

HOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE TERM ‘STATISTICS?’

WHAT STATISTICS IS LOGICAL TO USE, TO WEIGH, TO UNDERSTAND, 

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN,

SAND AND GEMS, ME LORD

A MIND THAT WANDER AROUND SELF AND OTHERS,

A MIND OF A WOMAN ‘WHO LIKES TO STUDY FURTHER’

ABOUT, BEARABLES

AND

UNBEARABLES

ABOUT, PUBLIC

AND COMMON, THEIR FEELINGS, JUDGMENTS, THEIR HARSHNESS, NOT ALWAYS THOUGH

AND ABOUT, GUILT

HOW MANY PAGES YOU HAVE THAT DEFINES ‘GUILT’ AND INNOCENCE’ IN ITS REAL MEANING, TRUE SENSE OF THE TERMS?

ARE MY SENTENCES TOO LONG TO UNDERSTAND?  

AM I ILLOGICAL, ME LORD, IN MY THINKING, IN MY EXPLANATIONS, IN MY LOGICS?

ANY OBJECTIONS! ME LORD FOR REVELING FOR QUESTIONING, FOR ANSWERING

I ASK ……………………..

AND

I SAY ……………………..

DO NOT MISREAD ME LORD, THIS IS NOT AN APPEAL

THIS IS A REVELATION OF ‘SELF’

DO YOU READ ME?

HOW OFTEN?

WHAT IS READING, ME LORD?

AM I ASKING THE WRONG JUDGE?

IF YOU ARE READING,

READ ME ACCURATELY

AND

THANK YOU, ME LORD THANK YOU, FOR READING

AND

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

I HONOR

NOT A BIT

BUT A LOT

‘THE LABOURER’ I AM SAYING THIS TO THE ‘PUBLIC’

HAVE A MEANINGFUL ‘LABOUR DAY’!
