Scrum

As the cadence of time is in a hustle,
Life and death undergo a constant scuffle
And it all will end with coup de grace,
Let’s be a li’l heedful of some benevolence.

Time flies, much swifter than thoughts
Do all that you desire, before it’s lost.
Loyal were never the moments of bliss,
Engaging in goodwill would not go amiss.

Let the grime of your heart form a scum,
Try to love each other, its half wisdom
Forgiveness is a trait which blesses two,
The one who is forgiven and the other is you.

-Elina Dawoodani

Lonely Journey

Estranged and confused I entered a town,
with eyes of curiosity I looked around,
Familiar some faces my vision could fetch,
Anxiety I saw throughout the stretch.

Amidst nowhere I found myself,
To get some help I asked a friend,
Neither she saw me, nor smiled, nor said,
astounded by her gesture I was perplexed.

There was a child playing in a nook,
I went to him with a hopeful look,
To ensure myself I repeated twice,
He too couldn't see me, to my surprise!

Like a vagabond, I roamed alone,
Deserted I felt, no hand to hold,
Why can't they hear me, nor get my sight?
This thought got me goosebumps, increased my fright.

I came across a creek, in my lonely search
I ran near water, to quench my thirst,
Stunned I was on getting the glimpse
There was no reflection, myself I missed!!

This town is world and I am life,
alone we are born and alone we die,
people may not see you or hear your heart,
Stay close to God and share your thought.
This world gives nothing, all done is in vain
Expect from God, a reward for each pain.

"Don't change yourself for the world around,
'Cause if you lose yourself, you won't be found!"

Endless Search

As the myriads of destiny unfolds itself,

New quest, new search come into realm.

We all become a part of untold mystery,

Some become memory and some history.

In this weird puzzle we get entangled,

Life has cross lanes, no path is angled.

Lost I am in this confused place..

Which way to go, everyone is in race!!

Think Big, Dream Big!

We all are blessed with immense power,

In this garden of world we bloom like a flower.

We think that life is to live and to die,

But truth is that we all are meant to fly!

So unleash yourself and discover the real you,

 place yourself above the average crew.

Nothing is impossible if you really try..

Ask those who dream, they touch the sky!!

Dreaming is the element that adds the zing,

There is surely some magic in thinking big!!

My Master told this, once long ago,

It made me ponder, gave me a blow..

"Don't think you're too small in this world huge,

There is a whole universe that exists in you!!"

Silent Prayer

We are ignorant, we need a guide

Almighty bless us with that light.

We need someone to guide us throughout,

We need someone to show us the path,

so that we learn to stand with might,

Almighty bless us with that light.

Undeserving and sinful are my eyes,

and His persona is glorious and high, 

Have mercy on me; bless me His sight

Almighty bless us with that light.

Injustice rules this world today,

Corruption has made people go astray,

Help us identify and stand for right

Almighty bless us with that light.

Problems are solved through that light,

Shoulder He gives in pain and fright,

In the dark skies, He is gleaming twilight,

Almighty bless us with that light.

Blood of the brave runs in His veins,

He craves for justice; I feel the pain,

To make the shrine of Baqi upright;

Please Almighty, bless us with that light!

This too shall pass..!

When the ones you loved leave you alone,
When dreams are shattered and in pieces you are broke
When days are dark and nights never end,
When a jeer you find in every other friend;
In worst of times, there's a hope that lasts..
Keep faith in God, this too shall pass!

When critics are pulling you down in the pit,
When your goal is blurred and you feel you should quit;
When you lose the grip of the rope you held,
and success may seem impossible to spell,
Look for the future, what's past is past..
Don't worry for today, this too shall pass!!
