MASKED WORLD

The mask o a Naqaab as we call it in Hindi is normally used to cover your face but as the human evolution has progressed, so has progressed the volumes of mask. Everyone in this world is wearing a mask.

As I walk and see things happening around me, I can see a mask of different characters and emotions. An evil-intentioned person wearing the mask of sweet-mouthed guy while a lonely guy wearing a mask of full-of-life attitude.
I have observed an uncountable number of such incidents in my life which I’ve tried to present through a poem.










PS:- I've written both in hindi and English dialects as some of my friends can speak hindi but can't read or write it..

Hindi Dialect:
नकाब
आगे देखो पीछे देखो ऊपर या नीचे देखो,
हर तरफ है इक नकाब !

खुबसूरती के पीछे फरेबी का नकाब,
दिलनशीं महजबीं के पीछे दिल्लगी का नकाब!


ज़िन्दगी के पीछे मौत का नकाब,
मौत के पीछे जहन्नुम या ज़न्नत का नकाब!

मीठी बातों के पीछे बद्फरोशी का नकाब,
मुस्कराहट के पीछे गम का नकाब!

लुभावनी वादों के पीछे सत्ता पाने का नकाब,
लाज और शर्म के पीछे वासना का नकाब !

माँ-बाप की कडवी बातों के पीछे चिंता का नकाब,
चाय की गर्म प्याली के पीछे ताजगी का नकाब !

जिहाद के पीछे आतंक का नकाब,
मज़हबी बातों के पीछे भोली जनता को ठगने का नकाब !


नकाब
, नकाब आखिर क्यों है ये नकाब?????



English Dialcet:

Aage dekho piche dekho upar ya niche dekho,
har taraf hai ek Naqaab !

Khubsurati ke piche farebi ka Naqaab,
Dilnasheen mahjabeen ke piche dillagi ka Naqaab!

Zindagi ke piche maut ka Naqaab,
Maut ke piche jahannum ya zannat ka naqaab !

Mithi batton ke piche badfaroshi ka naqaab,
Muskurahat ke piche gum ka naqaab!

Lubhawani wadon ke piche satta pane ka naqaab,
Laaj or sharm ke piche wasna ka naqaab!

Maa-baap ki kadwi baaton ke piche chinta ka naqaab,
Chai ki garam pyali ke piche taazgi ka naqaab!

Jihad ke piche aatank ka naqaab,
Mazhabi baton ke piche bholi janta ko thagne ka naqaab!


Naqaab, naqaab aakhir kyon hai ye naqaab?????

I thought you were going to translate this to English. Its just spelled in English yet the words are still Hindi and i would really love to read this.

BTW, which mask are you wearing.

Not Bad, but do answer Akum's Q

Hey Akum
I am wearing the mask of an arrogant and tough guy who is actually honest and polite at heart. A mask of confident guy, afraid of not knowing many things...
