BROKEN

The system , the people who rule

the people who follow all blind

the people who chose to be silent 

the invaders who create difference

the protestors who are never present 

the class who is in their own fence

the lost ones who can only listen 

the unshaken ones in their actions

the ignorant's who never  reason

the speaker's who never think

the bigots who least of all care

the followers who are all unaware

the people who know of the misery

the people who close their eyes to it


The people who chose to be in Oblivion!

to all the happenings around

the failures , injustice , 

the corruption, killing,

the hunger , misery

the collapsed systems effect

the Covid ,deaths

the Oxygen ,no beds

the BLACK markets flourishing to RED


Are all BROKEN in their Conscience 

Dead to their self and the human call

To such people 

there is just one and only one question

Aren't you ashamed of your existence?

If not ,ponder deep in self  of your presence

A living dead walking for no reason !

Intriguing Mind

To the world and it's existence

A million questions pop in

Why and How move around 

Thinking deep and loud

Unheard they are 

And Unsettled to its call !

From the Globalization

To the pre- civilization 

How humans traversed 

In their thoughts and actions

Why do some people 

Behave in a particular way

While others walk ahead

Of the time and space !

How does one root in belief 

What does ethnography

write of these in reads ?

To the countless motions

roping in the lap of nature

The evading miracles 

that amazes the researchers

What's the answer to all of these

My many questions wander

aimlessly , to quench an answer 

Alas ,I keep drowning in

But that's what excites me 

to live this leap and 

explore more and more of it .

Like a cosmic ray in many galaxies,

My intriguing thoughts

And the many questions 

Light my life and it's existence 

Unsatisfied I bed my mind today

To wake up and find another way!

When the scare comes near

Since the time we entered a global crisis of covid pandemic ,every breath that surfaces down to our cells is a bonus and the grace of Almighty. Everything around is unpredictable. We have witnessed the first surge ,the fear and panic back in the beginning of 2020 ,our ears have fringed to many deaths ,familiar and unfamiliar succumbing to covid. People have lost their livelihood , business has been hit to be closed ,financial losses has made so many lives crippled to streets .Time again, a year forward , we start from where it was all left .But this time its entering our proximity and in to our lives.

How difficult it is to be responsible and break the chain , to stay indoors wear masks and take precautions. Are we waiting for covid to hit our life to understand the seriousness of the situation.

What happens when the scare comes near , my family came in contact with infected individuals ,who are my relatives (prayers for their speedy recovery) .

After my mother got symptoms and then  i tested positive i followed the guidelines ,traced my contacts , alarmed them to quarantine but the eloping thoughts of the rising scare is much detrimental .Belonging to health care industry i understand the seriousness of the situation a little more closely. Staying in isolation and thanking for each day to go off is routine since a week. Although i got mild symptoms but the fear for family ligers around .Notifications popping up for Oxygen cylinders ,beds and remedesivir is like dark clouds forming their place for a day stay. We don't want to see that scare making a house in our home .So what do we do? Fight it off.

Its the mind space at this moment that accounts for the will to win over the current crisis. All we need to do is follow three rules

1)Be responsible for everyone around , just like you will be for your family.

2)Business can be rebuilt , money can be earned , everything else can take a pause but LIFE once gone ,you will see it only in pictures.

3)Bring the Will ,Mind is the warrior ,keep it in your space and control.


I need not end it with the usual mandate of Stay home and Stay Safe , Because each of us know what to do to be safe

What knocks to Rest

 Something within knocks to rest

Saying need not worry ahead.

Tightly caged for years in a room 

The closed chamber has felt a move.

All that lived within a difficult verse

Dangling to the chord of poetic surge.

Is heading out in a synchronous thought

Resting quietly to let it feel the call !

Gentle breeze is caressing the mind 

But the quiet sea is to feel it's kind

What elopes in there is hard to express 

In the arms of silence my peace rests.

To be Back to my Main

Through the blocks comes a phase

To get back and once again chase

The lost bliss of the mysterious paints

Writing it ripe on the canvas of plains 

Knowing it ain't more but alive

in each of my word to live and  strive 

Blissful it is, to be back, to write again 

For my contentment rests in my pen 

My journey of artistic blend of words

Will now walk another beautiful world !

Shelling out of coccon ,a block so huge

lonesome wanderer has found its muse

Just at the time to be back to writing .

Found a love to write for all of it

The Grace of Almighty is so bountiful

Can't reach through my eyes to HIS Plentiful

Now with the time I get back to my writing

I know it will continue forever ,my therapeutic!

A Girl

 A Girl who always lived in present

Full of optimism and joyous in nature

Gradually withered in self silently calm

The rage within burnt down to fathom !

No it ain't what can be seen to unseen

She was of kind different to be in

If you see her smiling know she ain't

She is living because there is nothing

The dark clouds circled the irony

A light beam shines a single stream 

Looking at it passes by the day

Begins tomorrow and the façade

A Girl who always lived in present

Stares in Space to the unseen

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 and have helped me equally ,to find within myself ,sprinkled it with love,care and knowledge,to beautify 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!
