Under the burning tent
A tent that feels like blazing furnace, I struggled hard to move or breathe, I am constantly drenched in sweat, Only hope lies in Allah,The Great, Longing for dignity that every human deserves, Soul withhold fury yet burns with silent wrath, To spent whole life in cage is worst, The mask of scorn our enemies…

Grace in every Thorn(inspired by surah Ad-Duha)
When the brave day sunk in beautiful night, And dark mounts,all silvered over with white, When the darkness wanes;dawn is nigh, Verily Allah cleaves the dawn,sun did rise, Lifts up his burning head under each eye, Our Lord is the soul’s repose in darkest times, Allah has not forsaken Muhammad(s.a.w.), Nor left him in darkness…

Beloved of the Hearts(Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.)
A high forehead and imperial cheek, The beautiful eyebrow and eye deep, Arabia became alive by the birth of him, His fame spreads from Najd’s sand to Oman coral deep, Muhammad’s(s.a.w) noble heart chose simplicity, He swept the floor with hands so swiftly, A refuge for the poor and needy, He milked the ewes;mended shoes…

Muzdalifah(Hajj)
In Muzdalifah as i lay under the stars, Breeze upon breeze caressed my soul, Wandering moon peeped through trees with placid cheer, Here no roof but heavens,stars our beacon! With firm devotion,we gather the stones, To throw at devil,symbolising worldly charm, Here Allah esteems each guest rich or poor, Each soul rests after toil and…

Let not thy tongue condemn my Heart
O never say i was false of heart, For thou have never read my mind, And thou are so possessed with hate, Towards myself you verily conspired! That almost freezes up the person’s mind, As i lay down on my couch, Ah! evil thoughts engulfed my mind, And kept my drooping eyelids open wide, Lo!…
