MALICE TO NONE

Centuries passed night comes after dusk,

King’s palace to pedestrian mad at musk,

Dance halls in lanes nameless in light,

The nightlong the song dances damsels delight,

Wine is thicker than blood intoxicate all,

Bondage never painful every evening call,

From rag to riches throw money at the dancer,

Music classical enchanting her steps allure,

Year after year humans spend the night in wine,

Days near old age family away thrills decline,

Illness weak frame mind entraps depression,

The melodious the music dances distant erosion,

Alone in house solitude torture temptation,

No one to comfort fragile frame with emotion,

Lifelong never looked in love family kids,

Youth enslave to wine dancer adult yields,

Wife children got social taunts in shame,

An alcoholic never know sweet home wane,

Poverty hunger illness drive the family to the village,

Never saw lone spirit return to love to assuage,

Silent the dark house no more home,

Past family life smiles aromas feast n fun,

Mind dread in fraught to scroll past life,

The scintillating time in night hunt as a knife,

A canvas of a soul of Mughal time uncommon,

Poems in Urdu soaked in human pain drawn,

Conjugal life question dancers ruin in step,

Trample kid’s growth decent wine a spider web,

Society crumbles in moral ethics poem acclaim,

The dancer Music night nostalgic amuse won,

Relives pain worries fear sing malice to none,

Centuries after clubs in modern time owe,

Drug ecstatic dances madness females to bow,

Young minds gender-free lose mind night long,

Smoke drink frames in steps to the rapturous song,

Decades of madness steals life age reckons,

Family life ruined cruel acts in family beacons,

The act of the play of a lonely life in pain n solitude,

Family faraway parents in shame to the attitude,

Broken home parent decay in shelter homes,

Conjugal life cries in tears failed in gruesome,

Still, the dance bar night club repeat n goes on,

Death depression dark future illness hovers on,

The dancer Music night nostalgic amuse won,

Relives pain worries new age malice to none,

Time changes capture youth to the cyber world,

Music to millions of hook videos project emerald,

World over addiction gender-free across ages,

Interact on chatting tweet post amorous pages,

Decency lost life ruined again mobile earplug,

The digital dance halls money-spinning urge,

Glamour on the viral overnight pseudo name,

Society ashamed looks down to kin in tame,

Disastrous human life priceless to study,

Growth of mind rot notorious instincts rowdy,

New age drug to media net cyber night long

Rarest precious human life smoked to the song,

The dancer Music night nostalgic amuse won,

Relives pain worries digital age malice to none,

The saga of human follies ecstasy in epitome,

The Shayari immortal poems feelings beacon,

The new age styles of life digital age owe,

Extrovert mind on rampage decay in toes,

Human life short awake within to vision,

Self destructs at will alert malice to none.
