A Forlorn Desire

I feel like screaming,

All this pain is so agonizing.

There is zilch that I can do,

About the wounds scaring my soul.

My heart is impaled with a thousand knifes,

There is no stopping the downpour of my eyes.

I cannot have what I want,

And all I can do is crave it.

This longing in my heart,

Has become a forlorn desire.

My soul weeps knowing it can't happen.

For it there is neither a cure, nor a consolation.

Yet, there lies a spark in my heart.

Whose light is enough to illuminate my whole world.

It's warmth makes all the doubt fade away.

Hope and faith overcome the feelings of being awry.

Things may be impossible and beyond my expectations.

But my gracious Creator is completely above these limitations.

My Lord has the power to do all things.

He has given me countless blessings.

He can fulfill my forlorn desire too.

Be patient and pray is all I can do.

Now I have no worries, none whatsoever.

Nothing saddens me, not even my forlorn desire.

Life and Lemonade

They say when life throws lemons at you,

You ought to make lemonade.

Who makes this stuff up anyway?

When lemons are being pelted onto your head

In no world can you think about making lemonade

Besides, making lemonade is not that easy

You need to check if the lemons are juicy

Grab sugar and water and a glass to hold them

And salt to make it extra tasty

All this is just a different story

Far away from the truth of reality

Of facing all those nasty hardships

Don’t let the rules of this world hold you down

Rise and aim for the heaven; not frown

Destroy all these silly shackles

Don’t spare any obstacles

Release yourself and be free to follow your heart

Because that is where you will find the truth

Believe in it and all shall be well

Free from worries, your life will be swell

Live it to the fullest and leave no regret

The destination may be the same for everyone

But the path; you have to find your own.

Making lemonade is not the only way

Use your heart and mind; do what they say

The Lonely Girl

A girl sat on damp grass all alone at night

The Moon was glowing with all its might

Cool, scented zephyr blew petals and leaves

The only music was that of the swooshing trees

And an occasional howl from far, far away

Nothing was even the slightest bit awry

Except for that girl, who was lonely and sad

The dew had wet the attire in which she was clad

Her big, glassy eyes stared glumly at the moon

The long winter night seemed far from ending soon

Feelings of envy were sparking inside her

She thought how fortunate the moon and stars were

They knew exactly what they were supposed to do

They didn't have to figure out what was true

In this messed up world filled with illusions

Around every corner there are deceptions

Tears trickled down her cheeks as her patience gave way

She wanted to seek her Lord but knew she was far away

Her existence was shackled in frailty and hopelessness

She felt as if nothing could save her from this distress

How was she supposed to keep track of her whole life?

It wasn't a bed of roses to deal with this strife

Good and bad sound easy to choose from

But in reality web of life is spun way beyond the norm

The worst thing was that she had to do it on her own

No one else could go in her place to atone

For the sins or bear the agony of the punishments

Which she would be subjected to for her transgressions

Her forlorn desire was to achieve redemption

But she was afraid it might never happen

Life was too elaborate how could she resist?

The temptations and illusions enshrouded her like mist

Waging a war more fearsome than one can imagine

Against the desires- in her heart- that were lodged in

There was majestic light and there was awful darkness

She knew, light she had to embrace and the dark, harness

If she let the darkness win she would be lead to ruin

Giving up was, in no wise an option

She knew not what the future would be

All she could do was try and leave the rest be

Would her worries be over and her goal achieved?

That was something only her Lord cognized

You can’t lose

This is life

You have your time

There is none to waste

And yet, you can’t make haste

What you need is to get up

Grab a cup of tea to slurp

And think about your future

You don’t want to end up a loser

Setting of goals is what you need

Towards the purpose of your life, pay heed

There is more than one thing that’s important

The need to realise this is significant

Better not lose sight of what really matters

Be strong, everyone falters

You need to follow your heart

That’s one of the things beloved Prophet (p.b.u.h) taught

Obeying him, do what you love

Work hard, as peacefully as a dove

New challenges a wait

You can’t be late

Come, buckle up and get going

Give it all that you have got

You are not alone

Your Lord’s with you

He has given you people you can count on

Come, put down your cup and get up

You have got much work

Losing is not an option

This is the battle of life, which you must win

The path may be tough

But believe me you can do it!

Leaving Home

Enjoying a cup of Mom-made tea,

With my mum, on a sunny morning.

These days will never come back,

Better make the most of them,

While I still have the chance.

I have my parents by my side now,

But, soon enough it will be time,

For the little bird to finally take flight

And fly far away, leaving all behind.

It’s going to be really hard, I know,

Sadness might penetrate down to my core,

But, I will be strong, I have to vow,

As that’s the only way to achieve, what I adore.

I too need to become, the one to sow,

The seeds of victory all by myself.

The coziness of my home won't be there,

But, still I will have my parent's prayers.

They shall accompany and comfort me,

Whenever I feel down or alone.

I shall have faith in my Lord,

And never lose sight of my goals.

All will be well in the end, I believe so,

Even if not, it will take more than failures,

To make me give up or lose sight of myself.

I believe that whatever life brings me,

Is destined to help me find my way,

And lead me to success instead of awry.

When finally I will have achieved my dreams,

I will be able to look back and be thankful.

On that day I shall be glad that I had left,

The loving embrace and the safety of my home;

Abandoned my nest and dived down,

For it was only after I jumped out of it,

That I was able to spread my wings so wide,

And soar in to the blue sky with all my might.

Sacrifices

At times you have to be selfless, for others

But deep down you know sometimes it bothers

Can't help it you have to do the right thing

Don't know, still, how to deal with the pain it can bring

Even though you want things to be the other way around                               

For your loved ones you have to kill your own desire

God knows, the heart has to be vast as the sky that’s sapphire

Hard it is to not grab it when what you want is right in front

It takes much courage and patience to just quietly grunt

Just then you wonder whether you really want to forsake it

Kudos shall be earned but the thing is that, is it really worth it?

Letting your heart be torn just for the sake of someone else

Maybe it’s that you feel you are not strong enough

Noble it is indeed to make a make a selfless decision

Opting to do it however can become worse than a prison

Possibility is that later you will regret doing so

Quandary will cause you to mop and mow 

Restless your soul shall become causing agony

Sometimes the pain can even become uncanny

Thus you will then wish you could bring back the past

Undo the mistake, you feel could otherwise be your last

Very fatal now the sacrifice seems

Wrong you were in the beginning it means

Xanadu of Paradise though you will get in the afterlife

You will be rewarded then for making the sacrifice

Zilch will be your suffering there, had your intentions been fair here

Do not Despair

Life is so bright

Everything's just alright

It seems nothing can go wrong

But soon God proves you wrong

That is life my friend

God is your one, true friend

There are always points in your life

When darkness is stabbing you like a knife

You know you are all alone                   

And that’s where you need to atone

Just tell yourself you are a moron

Because God is with you, you stupid human

Wen no loved one can reach you

No matter how much they want to

Your Lord is there for you

To save you from your agony

The Great Lord can do what He wants

Whatever He wills for His beings, He grants

All you need is to ask

It may seem a difficult task

But trust me it’s worth the shot

For your Lord loves you a lot

Just have faith and hold His hand

Then there won’t be any problem that you can’t withstand

Patience though you will need

After all there’s a price if you want to succeed

It isn’t even near as high as you think

If you choose the glitter, your life will stink

Just don’t lose hope and don’t despair

For your Lord’s always there

Just call out to Him and He shall help you

All of your problems He shall hew
