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…

Times of Distress
A court, constitution and national assembly, All these have been altered imprudently, They have become words and words only! Country-folks are disunited, people longs for justice, Colour of blood is alike,yet people are devoid of mercy, A tyrant doing wrong,yet his praises are sung at gatherings, Injustice is rampant in these untrusted times Man is…

Ode to narcissism
A spirit delicate, unwilling to offend, Never forgives himself, for mere slip of tongue, He gives each person, an unremitting attention, They are Allah’s Almighty gentlemen, Unlike vain men, who seeks others admiration, Whose blood is diseased, in their veins meandering, Who hates all the grace and elegance! They are torment to themselves and everyone,…

In the wake of forsaken souls
O Allah fire burns, in our chests! Whom shall we trust,we’re speechless? Our hearts are filled, with restlessness, Iblees is dancing, around us to mislead, Ummah is bleeding,everywhere is unrest, So many veils of flesh, lies on our enemies heart, How long will, the enemies cheat us? They had set for us,the hidden snare, O…

Silence is Golden
When fools speak don’t reciprocate, Their wit is like witless ass, Lending ear will ease their strain, Ignoring them their breathe might wane, With trivial discourse they took offense, That shows great pride or little sense, They walk in trance with exaggerated gait, Their mouths vomits all,nothing digests, From tongues of fools nobody were spared,…

Identity Card
Our colourful history turned into farce, In crowded streets our voices lost, Our hopes and dreams are trampled upon, Verily our souls are smitten and scourged, Frightened from brutes we submitted to harsh, Who break our homes and shattered walls, Tyrants played their heinous part, From marginalised they seek identity cards! Their tongues drip poison…

Portrait of a Wicked Woman
Mirror!Mirror! who’s the fairest amongst all? Says La belle dame sans merci with haughty heart, Her smile a veil, a deceptive facade, Trampled on heart of gold with utter disgrace! And dances to the tune of her own praise, Looked upon herself and praised her fate, The queen of vanity,the narcissist’s facade, Tell you tales…

Cold Eyes
Icy eyes and it’s long stare, Unmoved,cold devoid of care, A heart wrapped in layers of ice, No words are said to empathise, No hope lingers in frosty cold air, All comfort and cheer is verily gone, A heart full of love now turned to stone, Cold stare that pierce the darkest night, Pierce the…

Self Indulgence
Drowned in sea of self love, Wisdom of man is put to rest, Woe to man who always transgress, He grieves in vain,his joys are superfluous, Here motley life in modern trapping dressed, He loses himself in world spiritless, Here lunatics considered observant of ethics, The wise here are most mistreated, Sleepers considered this place…

Foolish Whispers
Woe to every sneering defamer, Who spy and slander one another, Woe to tongue that spread venom, Who defame their believing sisters and brothers, Beware o heart of this treacherous art, Of spreading tales and fuelling fires, Gossip is a harvest of malicious tongue, That steals people’s dignity and reputation, It chokes people with no…
