Beauty standards of today

In a world consumed by shape and form,
Beauty standards of today are being reborn.
Gone are the days of natural grace,
Now replaced by a plastic face.

Frozen expressions, lips swollen and plump,
Eyes pepper sprayed, lost in a cosmetic slump.
Noses tiny, nostrils hard to find,
A world entranced by an elusive design.

At a funeral, a somber affair,
Faces painted white, a ghostly stare.

Life is a test

In this life, a test we face,
Of faith, a trial, in every place.
Who believes, who won't, we shall see,
In Allah, the Almighty, our plea.

He created the heavens and the earth,
Fashioned us from dust, gave us birth.
The sun, moon, and stars in the sky,
A universe vast, where our souls shall fly.

A test of knowledge, we must endure,
To seek the truth, to be secure.
Religion and world, ...

Ghazala Lari - an ode to myself 🤪

Ghazala Lari, a shining star✨
With grace and beauty from afar💫
Her eyes like pools of liquid night🌠
Her presence fills the room with light 🕯️

Her voice, a melody so sweet 🎶
It carries on the gentle breeze 🍃
A poet's heart, a soul so pure ❤️
She weaves her words with skill and lure 🧶

In her presence, time stands still ⌚
Her laughter, like a gentle rill 😂
She captivates with every glan...

Temporary visit

I'm but a mortal 

A temporary life on earth 

Living and surviving

 

I'm but a woman 

In a big bad man's world 

From father to brother, husband to son 

 

I'm but a believer 

Chased after by evil one's

Being pulled in a hell circle 

 

I'm but what I wanted to be 

Peaceful, tranquil soul to see 

Living in obedience eternally

 

I'm but a temporary being

Allah is my friend

When blessings start to pour 

There's no room to store 

The cup overflows 

And life's miracles starts to show 

 

When Allah chooses you 

Tests upon tests shall rain upon you 

With every hardship there's doubled ease 

To make you strong comrade of Almighty 

 

It's not when you feel the pain 

It's not when you receive mercy 

Rather it's in the divine grace 

Tha...

The risen soul (revisited)

"With every fall my soul did rise" this poem was written long back in 2010. I was experiencing lots of turmoil, tests and tribulations back then. But my belief, faith, hope and trust in Allah kept me going. Believing in Allah didn't mean I'll have no more storms in life, rather The Belief in Almighty only gave me courage and motivation in every downfall.

 

I'm reposting this poem with a few ...
