People of the Cave
They didn’t bow down to earthly king, And didn’t chase the fleeting things, A band of youths with heart throbbing, From Allah The Lord of Heavens they seek blessings, Never lock their tongue from fear of king, To Allah alone their hearts submitting, They fled their land their faith defending, Unto a darkened cavern,they went…

Paradise
Paradise of golden light, Overflow with eternal light, Here runs the crystal streams of life, Honey,wine,milk,water a source of delight, It’s gardens and meadows makes one smile, Which of the blessings of your God,will you both(men and jinns) deny? Al-Muttaqun(righteous) there will enjoy, No faintness will abate their joy, No enemies will be there to…

Non-Conformist(deviation in the name of Prophet Muhammads.a.w)
They rushed from bed with giddy head, And to their alleys dance, Danced in the name of Allah and Prophet(s.a.w), And didn’t think it strange! O people unwise with shallow mind, Ye practiced which he (Prophet s.a.w) didn’t professed, Ye celebrated his(s.a.w) birthday and take pride in excess! If he(s .a.w) was there he would’ve…

Torments Of Hell-Fire
Endless death is a death of hell, Seven score fierce than fire of this world, Ah! the horrible land of darkness, Where there is sorrow,pain and wretchedness, Ah! man left the good,taketh the wicked, His earthly joys,are but superfluous, Within fiery furnace,fornicators writhe in blaze, Their cries ascend to God,their souls in disgrace! Rich will…

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…

The Great Floods
Forty days and forty nights, Nuh’s(a.s.) ark moving under the black sky, Allah’s the Captain of boat so nice! Embarked in the boat,believers took flight, The storms and winds furiously arise, Crashing peals of thunder in night, The rains came heavily making loud noise, Earth hath submerged for the first time, With weakened pulse and…

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…

Patience
Patience my Lord,is the rare virtue You grant, Indifferent to trials or blessings patient people’s heart, Guided by Your wisdom,from which they never part, O envied creature who neither fears nor fall, Who bravely bears all misfortunes with a happy heart, Their soul at peace like Ayyub’s(a.s.) patient heart, Verily distress has seized him,he cried…
