Read the full poem here:
Dear Bhaijaan,
This Eid, you gift me, Sultan.
You gift the producers and distributors 500 crores.
You gift cinema yet another monument of your masculinity.
This Eid, I want to gift you a dictionary.
Assault as a noun means unlawful unwilling intercourse.
Or an act of abuse.
Or the act of seizing by force.
Assault as a verb means to commit the crime of assault.
Or to plunder.
Or to take by force.
An irreparable loss to life as she had ever known it. Assault not just physically, but emotionally and verbally too.
Assault to a woman who hasn’t been a victim means the fear of becoming one.
Bhaijaan,
As I read your comment, I realized that you believed you abused your body to give me a 500 crore Blockbuster on Eid.
Perhaps next time, you will learn to value Allah’s gift to you – your body and your humanity. His gift to you is to Be Human.
And in doing that, you might just learn the value of other bodies and humans that are influenced or corrupted by your callous use of language.
Or the way you abuse it.
May Allah be with you.
Eid Mubarak. In advance.
