Analysis of Daughter of Kabuliwala
He is the father
Of a grownup daughter.
He has to return to
his country long after.
When he came to India,
she was only fourteen.
Now she is four years more.
She is the daughter of a Kabuliwala.
Now days start in Kabul
With the 'Fatwas' of Taliban.
We can find there only turmoil
as Talibans are in rule.
The Kabuliwala is only
keen to meet with his daughter.
He ignores,
the conflict for power.
I ignore too,
the outcome of conflict.
But I want
the accomplishment of fatherly instinct.
