**The Unwritten Ending** 😉
It’s always better to leave things untold,
A story without a final page,
It gifts the reader a rush,
An edge of their seat, filled with wonder,
What could have been?
That’s the magic of writing,
To leave trails of mystery,
Don’t wrap it all up,
Let the reader roam in thoughts,
Keeping their hearts racing,
Curiosity glowing like a firefly.

The Mind, A Time Machine
Few voices, soft whispers,
carrying me back to childhood days,
where it felt like each exam was a mountain,
a test of who I could be,
where late nights turned into silent battles
against tired eyes and wandering thoughts,
or novels stretched before me,
as I gazed out the window,
the world a backdrop to my dreams,
the hum of life a constant song.

"Seeking wise counsel and finding the right advisor"
We often find ourselves in situations where, despite knowing right from wrong, our emotional attachments or misleading information cloud our judgment, leading us to make poor decisions for ourselves. In these moments of confusion, we desperately seek guidance from others. But who can we trust to provide truly sound advice and illuminate the right path? Determining the right person to seek cou...

Everlasting happiness
The approach to finding happiness through contentment and gratitude is well-founded in Islamic teachings and indeed, universally recognized as a path to inner peace and well-being. However, the concept of contentment does not imply complacency or a lack of ambition. Instead, it is about being at peace with what one has while also striving for improvement and growth.

Web of illusions and deception
We live in a world of trickery and games,
Voices whisper sweet lies,
Don’t let them stitch your reality,
Hold tight to what your eyes can truly see.
Beneath each mask lies a hidden truth,
Lift them gently, let the light break through,
Don’t let others write your story,
You have the strength, the power to define you.
Shake off their false ideas, the...

"Significance of choosing one's social environment and relationships with discernment"

Lead astray
The spells of illusions and deception,
where whispers weave through the fabric of faith,
modernity dances to a tune,
a trend in vogue, cloaked in shadows.
God-fearing hearts, and demonic shadows,
all donning masks,
mastering the tricks of the unseen.
You bow five times a day reading namaz,
words of tawakkul spill forth,
yet in the quiet of your longing,
the lure of wh...

Follow your light
Amidst the confusion's haze I stand
Not lost in the depths of my soul
Nor paralyzed by indecision's grip
But surrounded by the creations of others
Aiming to challenge my resolve
Their voices loud, their doubts strong
Trying to sway the path I tread
But deep within, a truth flickers
A knowing glimmer of certainty
And in that moment, clarity descends
Like a be...

Live and let live!!!
Life unfolds once, a tapestry of moments
From the first cry to the final breath taken,
We navigate the realm of existence,
Counting each heartbeat, every fleeting second.
Do we drift along destined paths,
Or shape our fate with choices made?
A dance of effort, chance, and destiny intertwine,
As we toil, worship, love, and play.
Gratitude whispered to Allah, the gi...

Angry monster 💀
The face of anger, myriad of forms reside,
Some genuine, raw and untamed,
While others a facade, carefully designed,
A catalyst for conflict, a spark to ignite a flame.
Genuine anger, fierce and wild,
Spewing venomous words, a tempest in the mind,
Seeking release, the only solace found,
In the chaos of emotions, a temporary bind.
Fake anger, a calculated game,

A blissful life, where peace and love intertwine,
Creating a serene and harmonious design.

Need blood but they bleed
O the people of Gaza and Ukraine,
Innocent souls caught in the crossfire,
Orphaned, maimed, their homes demolished,
Yet they cling to hope, their hearts never tire.
Gaza, a land of poverty and despair,
Where the weak and poor struggle to survive,
Ukraine, where orphans roam the streets,
Seeking solace, struggling to stay alive.
But amidst the rubble and tears,

A Million dreams and a million more.....
The velvet cloak of night, she finds her throne,
A million dreams are hers to claim alone.
The angel wraps her in warm embrace,
And sing secrets of heavenly place.
On wings of slumber, angels softly tread,
To serenade her with their songs of grace,
Their lullabies of hope, of wishes untold,
Weaving dreams that no reality can hold.
Her eyes dance closed, she takes ...

True beauty of hijab
29th June, 2024
5.30 a.m.
In the beauty of hijab lies a secret divine,
Not just a cloth, but a soul's pure shrine.
It shields my body, yes, that is true,
Yet its true essence lies in what it imbues.
A canopy of peace, a shade from above,
A symbol of faith, an act of love.
It veils my form, but reveals what's within,
A coolness of spirit, a cleansing of sin.

Wisdom and folly
In the midst of the chaos, they came full force,
Assaulting with words sharp as a sword's course.
Their intentions clear, to belittle and mock,
A gang of rogues with venom to unlock.
With knowledge of their plan to do harm,
They stabbed her, causing alarm.
Piercing her heart with words so vile,
Mocking her life, spreading guile.
Thinking they fought the evil one,

Being me
Being me wasn't that easy
A journey full of twists and turns
Inflamed by the words of others
But still, a road worth the walk
Being me is the icing on the cake
Life's chisel shaping me into gold
Edges smoothed, inner self shining
A masterpiece of authenticity
Being me, a process of highs and lows
An exhilarating roller coaster ride
Each moment a life worth l...

A grand design
In the stillness of night, I saw them,
All the dreams that danced in my mind,
Whispers of the divine, woven in light,
Guiding me to those who would bring them to life.
Through the veil of sleep, they came to me,
Visions so vivid, messages from above,
A sacred mission, a task divine,
To share with those destined to make them shine.
I spoke in hushed tones, my dream...

Finding solace in words
I find solace in the depths of my emotions
Should I write to ease my heart, release the weight
Of burdens carried in my soul's sanctuary
Penning down the truths of my journey
Through life's tumultuous twists and turns
Learning lessons etched in the fabric of time
Not a poet by birth, but by choice
An artistic fluke, they may proclaim
Yet I activate senses with eac...

Jealousy
In jealousy a person turns blind to light,
Ignoring blessings in their reach and sight,
Their eyes fixed on what others possess,
Their hearts consumed by envy, a distress.
The jealous mind descends into the dark,
Losing balance, reason, torn apart,
Unable to fathom why others gain,
What they desire, causing inner pain.
Goodness twisted into shadows deep,

Divine Radiance
Not everything requires our understanding,
Not everything demands our contemplation.
There are whispers too soft for mortal ears,
But Allah hears them clearly,
There are mysteries veiled from mortal eyes,
But Allah sees them all.
Shouldn't this be enough for us,
To accept our frailty, our boundaries,
And find solace in the divine wisdom

Lazy days!!
In those lazy days, once in a while,
You crave the calm of a gentle smile.
Strolling aimlessly, no rush or hurry,
Just savoring life, no need to worry.
Lazing in bed, gazing at the ceiling,
Lost in a dream, a tranquil feeling.
Once in a blue moon, time slows down,
Savoring the peace that laziness has found.
One day at a time, as it slips away,
Laziness brings a...

Life is indeed a fascinating journey filled with twists and turns, ups and downs. As we navigate through it, we inevitably face challenges and obstacles that test our resilience and determination. It's important to remember that success and failure are relative concepts, and what might seem like a failure to someone else could be a valuable learning experience for us.

The road less traveled
In the silence of my steps,
I tread upon the chosen path,
Purpose in my heart, destination in sight,
Effortlessly moving towards the light.
Aligned with my soul's true purpose,
Fate guiding me to this road less taken,
Crossroads once, now a distant memory,
The right path unfolding before me.
Few understand the journey I'm on,
Questions linger, curiosity in the...

After the storm - Remal, the tropical cyclone
After the storm, there's a stillness all around
All that was destroyed now lies on the ground
Plants uprooted, leaves scattered with branches entwined
Vehicles overturned, corrugated roofs left behind
The sight of complete upheaval, an ugly scene to behold
Yet the air is calm, the weather pleasant and bold
An extra sense of gratitude fills the air
For the destruction that...

Surrender
I have no thoughts, no feelings,
No desires, no ambitions, no appeals.
But my heart still yearns for His light,
For the guidance of Allah, the All-Mighty.
I am not an angel, nor a prophet,
Just a humble soul, His servant, His pet.
I have given up on worldly things,
My life now a prayer, my heart His wings.
I don't chase vain desires,
I don't covet what's not me...

Echos of the soul

A humble writer, penning down my truth

Seeking to give voice to what's beyond reach
Crafting verses that touch the soul, akin

Grass will be greener on all sides
When we gaze out of the window, our eyes they do wander,
Seeking beauty in distant horizons, far beyond this border.
But what of where we stand? We give it little thought,
For our vision is fixed on what's yet to be brought.
It seems that we forget the ground beneath our feet,
The world around us, so close, yet so incomplete.
We must tend to our surroundings, make them brigh...

An orphan's paradise
Hidden within the depths of my heart
Are myriad feelings, wrapped in secrecy
Concealed in layers of wrapping paper
Safeguarded from prying eyes
A yearning, like a child's innocent touch
Longing to connect with the soul
Of the one who birthed me
I wonder, how did she look?
What melody did her voice carry?
Do I bear even a hint of her likeness?
I ache to hold ...

Divine timing
In life, there's divine timing for all things,
Miss it, and the opportunity slips away,
Lost to us forever in the ebb of time,
No turning back to fix what's gone astray.
Blessings are sent in their appointed hour,
Whether embraced or left to fade,
Too often we overlook the simple gifts,
In pursuit of glitter, in choices we've made.
Divine opportunities, fleeting and rare,
Once passed,...

Carrying fragrances through the air
Bringing beauty to all who care

In the commotion of human emotions,
Relationships unfold like a complex equation,

Divided by race and culture,
Birthright determining our stature,
Rich and poor, status designated,

Feelings that within me, silently sleep
Awaiting to emerge into the light

In hand-crafted coins, wealth may reside,

In the depths of a poet's mind, a mystery untold
Where emotions dance and stories unfold
Words woven in intricate design

Revealing only glimpses, subtle hints
Misunderstood, their intentions lost

In search of answers we roam
Seeking solace, hoping to mend
The pain that lingers, the hurt that's known
How to bridge the gap, how to transcend
The distance between us, a chasm wide
Neither can bear it, this separation's toll
How to rebuild what once was untied
A broken bond, a wounded soul
The image is blurred, voices faint
Yet unheard, in the silence we wait
How long must we bear ...

Sending positive energies high
Lifting spirits to touch the sky

In the tapestry of life, each thread a lesson
Never brood over your past, it whispers
Days of learning, shaping the soul's progression
Preparing you for future happenings, it's glistening
Don't linger in the shadows of what's gone by
Only to attain wisdom from mistakes made
Or to relive moments of kindness, let them fly

Not a single day since birth...

Truth, a force that cannot be contained
Its essence bound to break free

No need to conform to please another

Shifting positions to suit desires
Is a futile game of ...

Curse of words
In a world of tangled truths and lies,
Where wrongs may be right and rights may be wrong,
A topsy-turvy place, where silence speaks louder
Than the cacophony of words.

Adapting to the needs of the moment,
Navigating the murky waters of virtue and morality.
Balance is the key,
Too much or too little, both can be a curse,

In a world where words can burn like fire's flame,
She penned her poems with a spark so bright,
But critics came, disliking her acclaim,
Their egos scorched by her poetic light.

Labelled as an outsider, so unique,
Their narrow minds, in pride, they did uphold,
Inflated with a sense of false critique.

Where we reset, renew, and vow.
Smiles around us, faces aglow,
Success in every path we sow.
