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 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 ...
