Ali ibn Abi Talib (r.a.)
Hail the glory of valiant martyr, Who embraced martyrdom from his Maker, Fear of death never entered his heart, Ali ibn Abi Talib(r.a.) a gallant warrior, Fourth caliph of islam,brave and chivalrous, In battles he played the knightly part, His eyes with intense passion scanned, Zulfiqar he gazed upon for combat, From his falchion,gushed enemies…

Elysium in Ashes
We are the wind and the fire, You called us Allah,we’re here, Your commmand we follow forever, We’re not like this wretched world’s rebels, Whose face now turned pale,the coquettish ones! We turned to shreds,their regal fortresses, Beautiful palm trees,in flames crackled, Animals laments like,heart forlorn ones, The fires roared and the planes faltered, Our…

Echoes of Silence
In echoes of silence,my heart hears Divine Whispers, This earthly soul is in chains, where I’m a prisoner, You are the Malik, You are the King of this wretched heart, The remembrance of Al-Muhaymin,makes me oblivious of myself, I’m just a dust,who is in awe,of her Creator, My soul beats wings,hoping to meet The Most…

Sa’ad ibn Muadh(r.a.)
A gallant man with radiant face, Siddiq al ansar a man of grace, Bold and strong, a defender of faith, How beautifully he fought against quraysh! To protect the Prophet(s.a.w),was his sole aim, Banu qurayzah’s promise,a pact betrayed, The sword of justice shall not be swayed, He spoke the law on people’s face, Banu qurayzah’s…

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,…

Solitude in Wilderness
Is the sweet scent wafting from meadow of this locale? Ah the clear blue skies and evergreen turf! Here i want to laugh,leap,run in happiness, Where one finds new delights,cool streams and dell, Going on a journey is so pleasant! Drinking whole cup of tea,cheered me up, Before cool breeze,i want to be like thistle,…

Silent Chains
In dungeons deep, human souls outcried, With darkness visible and no light, People hopelessly deformed by sight, There comes the torture,without respite, Not feared Allah,that undaunted fiend, The dark floors and its chilling tiles, Where rodents squeaked in black night, Here freedom was engraved in every mind In sednaya prison the chilling confine! Fettered in…

Whispers of Grace
Sweet-faced one, who always spoke with smile, Lovely words from a blessed tongue,made my spirits re-energised, She ate halwa,lavished praise,there in her kindness lies, Every morning with a word of salaam,the angelic face smiled, Through small token of gifts,she made me mesmerised, Verily i escaped from sorrow and agony, with her as a guide, Her…
