Tranquil, peaceful, idyllic

Nature of nature, scenic

And picturesque vales and vegas

Bickering brooks and bird chimes

Clicks only the tranquil spirits

As an elixir of life, sprinkles love

And embellishes the soul

To be collected

And composed

Endearing all downs

It fills the hearts with

Potions of love and warmth

Otherwise it‘s just another

Another beautiful landscape

The cool breeze rekindles

The embers of life

Only in a perceiving heart

That savors life with all its flavours

And touchs reality with all its textures

And that’s how it is

“It takes Purity to discern purity”

As pure speech spurts from pure hearts

Divine words influence clear minds

Truth is perceived not by foggy intellect

As crooked ones seek not The straight

Though the paths cross at some point

It takes clarity to perceive clarity

As moulds doesn’t grow in the sun

So do doubts, never is it born on a heart, illuminated!

Certainty forts it hard, away runs the incertitude

And pessimism at bay, enriched by the flame of hope

It grows and light it emits all over

That is the heart, nourished and nourishing other!

Mixed feelings of old

Enshroud me by the lake

Of anticipation and bleakness

Of brightness and gloom
I fail to understand myself many a times

This carcass, this soul, this heart!

Intricately woven into as one

Yet exhibits myraid hues of the season

Light and dark yet again light and dark

Like a jigsaw puzzle puzzling my nerves

I’m wondering on myself as if an another being

What is this called?

Is it normal or only happening with me

Do others also get into this?

I’m restless!

It was difficult for a moment

For a day as long as it can stretch

But I passed this skirmish

I know the dejected will rest not

And come again hovering near me

With some new tricks and pranks

But I’m now stronger and firmer

With rocks that abide by the foot

The bedrocks that firms my steps

With the Almighty’s help!

From pillar to post

And back again

Leaning on the old queen of mine

In her 60s sluthering fine

Together we Snowball along

New elements within,

Beneficial? Those rolled? I wonder!

Trolling in search of a dear thing

Which I thought easy to prey on

Flutters here and there swiftly

Rendering me tired to chase once more

My spirit of might, melting!

Sighs and fear mixer inside

Ah! Was I in fancy all this time?

Smooth, it slides off my hand!

Sinking inside the sands of self

I’m bemused by the thought

In the mirror I find a being

A look alike but fragments of it look unknown

These plains appear similar yet strange

Casting shadows of hopelessness

But twirling vines of hope!

Twine the walls of darkness

Ah! Glows my spirit again

To march once again

Amidst this hustle I live

A life of a warrior

No feats to boast of

But little victories to carry on

My ship of life


ع ميرة

A prayer


As I grow up and pass through life

As I bow before Allah each day

I pray I be forever me

My prostration be the same

My heart as white as a dove

Spotless and stainless 

As I achieve things in life

And become someone of rank

I pray I be the same old me

Unpretentious and unassuming 

The word has reached me

That many a children of Adam and Eve

Were virtuous souls but as they grew

And become possessions of swelling mines

They tarried and slithered in goodness

By and by they forgot themselves 

Deluged in mine and pride

So I fear while talking steps in life

Of the destruction precedented

Of the eery faith they met

As I pass by life’s vale and plain

I pray I remember YOU!
