Holy Quran
The thirst of my heart remains unquenched, By reading Quran,an Illuminating sun, It’s a deep ocean with pearls hidden, The more i read,the more I realise my ignorance, It guided darkling man to pure guidance, And clear the clouded mind with divine radiance, Recited by Muhammad(s.a.w),Allah’s humble servant, Who ruled the hearts of men and…

Yunus(a.s.)
Yunus(a.s.) from Iraq, Invited people to the right path, People refused to turn to God, Yunus(a.s.) became upset,he left the town, Without seeking consent from Ar-Rahman, Calm skies of nineveh turned red, Soon people gathered at mountain tops, They beseeched forgiveness from God, Finally Allah removed His wrath, Yunus (a.s.) boarded ship,to begin his voyage,…

The Quiet Bloom Of Mercy
I wandered alone on corniche, On the pavement,besides the sea, Far away from train of thoughts, Seeing seagulls in waves scurrying, Bending themselves like a bow-string, Calm and rejoicing in the dark sea, Pacified my restless soul in agony, The moon arose above the castle, Suspended in air calm and serene, A light from Allah…

Khidr Alayhis Salam
Human knowledge can never comprehend, Allah’s ways or His infinite wisdom, In noble Surah Kahf,a path to illumination, Musa(a.s.) met Khidr,Allah’s righteous servant, Where Khidr(a.s.) perform seemingly inexplicable actions, He scuttled the boat,not out of resentment, To save it from the tyrant King’s investigation, He struck the boy,on the spot he succumbed! To save his…

Justice in Exile
Thy days of glory are past now, Thy bank of justice is bankrupt now, Thy people will be judged by faith now, Thy system hath turned upside down, Tyrants hide behind soft faces now, They plunder a thousand shops now, Devastator of thousand houses now, First they came for the marginalised, With fear,none dare cry…

Holy Combat
Palestine thou noble country! Splendour of Arab’s race, West is bent to destroy you, Perseverance your passion,courage your grace, Once lively now barren and desolate, By Allah’s will,one day tyrants will fade, Bound by patience to your wretched fate, Righteous and wicked are now face to face! O people show compassion on your fellow comrades!…

To Allah’s Place
Do not cry my dear Aisha, Put that beautiful pigeon down, Let us take it to veterinarian, Running through streets of Mahmudabad town, Who’ll stitch the creature up and down, His house is besides yonder pond, Who will heal the bird,ease our strain! With gentle touch and healing hands, Come my sister,come Aisha! Take in…

Allah’s Power in Prophetic Miracles
Adam(a.s.) was the one for whom angels bowed in awe, Nuh’s(a.s.) son defied the call,The great floods became his scourge, Yunus(a.s.) in belly of whale,implored his dear God, Ibrahim(a.s.) entered Nimrod’s pyre,with a fierce heart, Yaqub’s(a.s.) eyes were healed with fragrance,of Yusuf’s shirt, While Musa(a.s.) split the sea in two,verily a divine miracle, Dawud’s(a.s.) voice…

His Love is Wordless
My father is a diamond,who is so precious, The values he imparted are so noble, As a daughter i was spell-bound by his strength, He carries within himself an ocean of love, A gift sent by Allah The Gracious, Each dawn he walked besides me to waiting bus, He played with us on grassy surface,…

The Gate Of Eternal Light
The aeon of mists enveloped me, Breathing the spirit of radiant morn, Nature fed me pomegranates and green figs, Soft hooved souls,graze in meadow at dawn’s first kiss, Here there’s no treason,no swords,no guns,no misdeeds- A land of fresh springs and wild berries, Here my eyes dazzled,my heart fluttered like a butterfly! Safe from war…
