Motivational Poetry for the Muslim Ummah..
الحلا يحتويها
و الغلا يرتجيها
إبنتي حبيبتي
الله هالله عليها
لا أحد مثلها جائتني
و زينها على شاني
القوافي لا يكفي
تستحق إبنتي فيها
لها قدمت الروايا
و استحت الهدايا
من الشرور تحية
و صعوبة حمية
لأن إبنتي هدية
من إله البرية
مثل القلوب الندية
لو ضمت ترتويها
و نور الشمس تعلى
فوق بدر تجلى
غاية الحسن إبنتي
عنها الوصف … Continue Reading
Baba comes home and I shrivel,
The tired look on his face pushes me back.
He asks for a glass of water,
And I run to fetch one for him.
Handing it over, I secretly wish
It would wash down all his weariness.
Baba lies down, shuts his eyes
And orders for every noise to shut down.
Hence my task … Continue Reading
They barge into my room,
And make nonsensical requests.
I, with a smile plastered on my face
And a ‘yes, of course’,
involuntarily join their quests.
In my dictionary,
there lies only a word with which I respond.
Illiteracy is not quite the reason why,

the fear of making them dissatisfy.
I speak their … Continue Reading
“Ya Abati!” (My dear father)
A son calls
“Ya Bunaiyya” (My little son)
A dad responds.
A dream he narrates,
Insignificant for a man;
Yet he first seeks
None other than his dad.
A father-son conversation
With utmost appreciation,
Love and trust you can’t deny.
Do fathers now give kids their time?
Patience, a quality essential,… Continue Reading
Broken relationships, severed ties,
Mistrust, distrust, so many fights!
To prevent this growing ailment in society,
Make good character a part of your identity.
Trust your parents
With your problems,
Just like Prophet Yusuf, who shared his vision
To find proper guidance and direction.
Treat your parents with due respect
Even if world’s riches you accumulate,
Do not say ‘uff’,… Continue Reading
المواضيع و العناوين فيها معاني
و الزواج منها مثل فيافي
عرفنا طريقنا سنة نبينا
لكن لماذا الدروب… فاني
أتكلم عن الوقت حالي
ولا احترام رأت عيني
الحب بين المحبين كلامي
أين هو هذا سؤالي
نبينا محمد ﷺ أحبب زوجاته
و خديجة (رضي الله عنها) كانت أقرب له
وزعت مالها إلى طريق الله
و مرت حياتها بسيطة
هل في أحد مثلها … Continue Reading
Born without a choice of name,
Born without a choice of color or shade of skin.
They say the first seven years dictate the coming years of life,
And the next set of years is largely struggle and strife.
The fickle world that has nothing to offer but false promises,
Funny how we surrender and fritter in sought of its … Continue Reading
