Away...

    


  





      Away from the home who stay,
        Know how difficult is a day.

  We lay on bed and count the comfort,
  They rest on stones to check the front!

      Away from the home who stay,
        Know how long is a day.

We cry over the hustle and bustle around,
They smile with the riffles on the ground.

      Away from the home who stay,
         Indifferent is night and day.

     We plan the day to party at night,
 They plan each moment to combat any fight.

        Away from the home who stay,
          Know the dark side of day.

  Work,leisure,food and people we meet,
To them maps,weapons and conflicts greet.

      Away from the home who stay,
        Know the value of a day.

We sit across each other to share no word,
  They live in the memory of last one.

      Away from the home who stay,
       Know what it is to stay away.

  We glance through the news of battle field,
But for us,they freeze at siachen to die at peak.

 Away from the home they stay as warriors,
  for their mother and her ignorant children!

My Lady Lantern


All Praise to the Lady of Heaven and Earth,who lives in the heart of each lover of Ahlubayt (a.s).
 If all the chirping birds roaring midst the blue garden along with all the bounties of the nature come together with the mankind to sing the praise of Fatima Zahra (s.a), and lay their words to write her attributes,none would do justice ,for the Creator and his Ahlubayt .(a.s). The Birth Anniversary of the most pious and the virtuous lady ,the magnificent and the splendid daughter of the Noble Prophet Mohammad (s.w.w) ,Wife of the Light of Mankind, and Mother of the Saviors of Islam embarks a significance which is beyond word's ,to the Creator's World and gives a direction to its Creation.

All praise to Allah,His Mubarka (s.a) is a role model for every women who carries the love of Ahlubayt (a.s) and feels it with every heart beat.Indeed ,HER teachings lives within  us,it lives in you and in me as well.And so my Lady Lantern is living silently within me,she is also living in you,and every other lady who carries her example to lead herself and brighten her path with the radiance of Zahra (s.a).
In times of distress,i look within me to gather the strength and bear the pain ,for it is nothing to what the daughter of Prophet(s.w.w) embraced silently.When my tears shed out,to cry over the hurdles around.I look at the sister next door who smiles all the way and cries only for Fatima(s.a) and her Progeny.
At times when i am perplexed,when halal and haram comes with no boundaries,i call out for my inner instinct who has read and heard of only Ahlubayt (a.s) and it inspires me to choose the difficult path and walk through the thorns to find no scar.When my words don't traverse to speak for me and my mind says to let it go,my heart stands stern for my rights,as the incidence of fidak lives in me.Their is an inspiration in me to remain patient and learn from my mistakes for i know i am imperfect but in hands of a perfect guide.

The sister i spoke to today,narrated her life and her struggles to make the two ends meet and accord it with joy,i questioned her to how she manages,to alter her dream and live it to make her husband's and  her reply made me grin and smile all through her narration.She said, O,dear,We Live by the example of  Zahra (s.a), the honest wife of the loyal husband,when she brought up her children,not placing a single demand on Imam Ali(a.s) and stood behind the burning door to safeguard her children and husband bearing a pain which can never be described in words,How difficult it is for us to alter our life and live in unison.I admired this sister more than before,and found my inspiration in her thoughts through her words.

My dear sisters,Life is a test of our Imaan,and our inspiration pulls us out during difficult times ,to be an inspiration in someone else despair.
Your strength lies within you,may be you can feel it now,may be you are unaware,but the good in you is waiting for an opportunity to explore the optimism you carry ,oblivious to your knowledge.You are wise and kind,but you don't know,knock your self,wake up your faith.If,your heart carries the love of Ahlubayt (a.s)then surely it has the flame of their teachings growing in you.The darkest chamber of any life will be brightened by that flame.
It is present in you,and in me as well.
My Parents have channelized their inspiration to make it grow has helped me equally to find within myself and sprinkled with love,care and knowledge,the garden of my life. 
And so i conclude,My lady lantern is growing in my heart ,my inspiration lies in me and you,And your inspiration lies in you and  me.Hold it tenderly to let it come out and grace the world with its intricacy.
Seek and you shall find!
