Look, how beautiful am I,
I am a bobby-cut Indian English poetess,
A city-girl, a town-girl
Hi-fi and good-looking,
...
My God, make me,
Make me the John Dryden, Alexander Pope of India,
The husband of the Burquawalli, the Ghumtawalli, the Purdahwalli Bibi,
My God, make me,
...
A fashionista,
A socialite
Asked me to kiss her
To say it to her,
...
Radha,
You are Radha,
Radha,
Radha, radha,
...
The woman pleading
In the court
As a lawyer, an advocate,
A pleader
...
With the mobile phone set
And the wires plugged into
The ears,
The music director is passing,
...
Drugs, drugs,
Heroin, brown sugar, cocaine,
Where are they going,
Say you,
...
It's a golden dawnbreak,
The crow is crowing
Asking the late-keepers
To awake and arise from.
...
Under the raat ki rani plant,
The woody and aromatic shrub
So romantically fragrant and perfumed
Want I,
...
