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…

The Woman before my Breath
In cradle of mother’s arm, A child finds pure solace and warmth, She watched her grow beneath her skin, An uncrowned queen,with a web of emotions! A soul full of grace,benignity and affection, Who is my guide in time of thorns, Mother dear mother, the years have been long, Since I ate your halwa,which was…

An Ode to Coffee Lovers
O coffee beloved fragrant drink! You stained my abaya,before I could think, You scalded my tongue,yet i won’t repine, My fingers trembled, still i won’t rescind, Yet all through this mess you tasted sublime, Drink of escapists,which lifts me high, The golden beans,first calms then excites! The gift most blessed,send by Allah The Wise.

The Hollow Crown
Virtue is my sin,vice is your grace, O darling you are on fame’s mad voyage! It is the fool we value, not the sage, Who bore the pain, without complaint, O ye with thoughtless pride elate! One who is offended by sun’s glare, Always quarrel like perpetual rain! Who longed for glory,to whom flattery conveys!…

Messenger of Peace
When cool breeze stirs the sylvan tresses, It whispers of Muhammad(s.a.w) the gentlest of all men, Beautiful baby is born out of Aaminah’s womb, Most graceful of all creations that Allah has created, Stood infront of his Maker,when night extends darkness, Eloquently he mentioned his Lord,preceded men in virtuousness, The one who took mankind out…

The Starving Town
A place where hungry humans finds no crumb, There’s a part of earth,that denies ’em bread, By intense crying their eyes hath become wounded, They weep, weep and weep for the glorious dead! Misery! O misery! to the rich please give a check, Howls in a slaughtered town, here wind is breathless! City of famine,…
