In “Ayodhya”, Gulzar writes: “Where he once lived Is a very small town now;/ Now he is spread across the sky/ Like the light of the sun;/ I came to Ayodhya to see his ‘janmabhoomi’./ Surrounded by iron bars/ He sits behind strong barricades/ Listening to people now…/ Hordes of people come to see him;/ If you go too close/ The sentry on duty/ Pushes the crowd back with his gun./ He was an avatar once – / But looks completely like a minister today/ Not moving an inch without security!”
The topics of the other poems range from Indo-Pak relations, border posts, neighbours and Karachi to traffic jam, procession, Ramzan and newspapers, to high heels, kabaddi, blood test and tattoo.
