The Stars


Talking about stars
The ones we call celebrities
Talking about people worth walking the red carpet
The people who bring Goosebumps to our skin
Talking about men and women of true fame

And what are these names I hear?
The names of people who do these acts
The people who walk these miles
The names of people who talk these stuffs
What are these names I hear?

Why can’t I see the glittering of their glow?
Why am I not seeing the flames of their fame?
Why are my Goosebumps not giggling?
Why is my heart not exhilarated in excitement?
Why am I unable to feel the penchant of their presence?

Subhaanallaah! Subhaanallaah! Subhaanallaah!
No! They are not my stars
Yes! Those names which you mention
And I do not wish even to mention their names also
Subhaanallaah! Subhaanallaah! Subhaanallaah!
They are not my men and women of fame


So let me tell you about those who have won this heart
Men and women whose famous flames I still feel
Yes, so many are long gone and so many still live
They who teach me this life and this death
The companions of the best of men and them who follow suit
