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…

Turmoil in their hearts
As they stand amongst the ruins, Usurpers wickedness in their heart remained, As perpetrators burnt their place of residence, All over the streets,the ashes scattered! Killing them all,they buried the hapless, Many are still afraid to be massacred, With bowed head and eyes lowered, They want them broken and shattered, They may oppress them or…

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,…
