Islam Is Peace

I'm a Muslim whose voice remains unheard.
Peace was the first thing I eagerly learned.
Peace, the world's main hope and ambition,
 Is the ultimate goal and name of my religion. 
"Peace be upon you" is my all-time greeting
To everyone I run into or see at a meeting.
Love, the world's greatest aim and ambition,
Is the be-all and end-all of my religion.
Our Prophet once said, "Shall I tell you what to do
to find love, let there be peace among you?"
Let there be peace and love will grow.
Faster and stronger than all we know.
Islam is peace that leads to love
If peace is there, so will be love.

The Child Inside

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
Some take a child for angels, some for birds.
How much is it worth with the child’s face?
I’ll tell you now and rest my  case!
Who can resist the charm she casts?
Who can foretell how long it lasts?
Who can reject the smile she gives?
Who doesn't like the life she lives?
Who can refuse to play with her?
Who can’t be kind? Who can’t be fair?
Who doesn't feel the words she says?
Who can translate or paraphrase?!
It takes a child to learn these facts!
It takes a man to grasp such acts. 
This tiny child inflames our pride.
This shining pearl remains inside.
And comes out like a rising tide .

Tokens of Love

What gift can I give her in token of my love?
It should be something most women think of!
Something like a book, a perfume, or a rose.
She can read the book wherever she goes.
When she reads the book , my love grows
My name shall be on every page she reads.
It’s not the book; it’s my love she heeds.
I know women like perfumes so much.
I think a small bottle will be a nice touch.
Every time she wears some, I’ll be around.
The scent she smells will keep her bound.
I think a rose or two will be a great gift!
As women, we know, identify with it.
It could be red, yellow, white or pink.
A rose of any color is a joy they think.
I think a book, a perfume and a rose.
Shall bear witness to my noble cause.

To All Mothers

Who are we without our mothers? 
Some loveless sisters and brothers! 
She is the only one to love with all her heart, 
She is the only one to love without any art, 
I grew up to be the man I wanted to be, 
And she grew older, with me as her baby, 
I got married and became a parent, 
her love grew and was more apparent, 
This is how mothers see us their way, 
Not as grown-ups or what we say, 
They keep praying for our happiness, 
They want nothing for their truthfulness, 
We sometimes give them a rough deal, 
They always forgive and make us feel, 
Ashamed of what we've said and done, 
Though what is done cannot be undone, 
Suddenly they part with this short life, 
And leave us to go on with our strife, 
With mixed memories and confused souls, 
With heavy hearts and bewildered calls, 
'Is it true? Are they gone forever? ' We ask, 
'We are gone, but our souls are there.' We hark! 
Their lovely faces, their lovely talks, 
Keep coming to us like living folks, 
But soon we realize the vanity of life
And see the false glories of our strife
From the cradle to the grave is but a span
And a nod is enough to the wise man!

Embrace the Change

Winter comes like any other season.
Then comes spring to challenge our reason.
The other seasons follow suit, in a circle.
Nothing changes this order but a miracle.
Some close their eyes in order not to see,
And turn a deaf ear in order not to hear.
But deep inside they hide their fear!
That change will have a price, so dear.
But change will come no matter what!
They like it or they like it not.
Embrace the change and live with it,
And you succeed and make a hit. 
Resist the change or fight it hard,
And train to live your life on guard.

Advice To Students

Let me give you some advice
Take it, leave it but be nice
If you take it, you will pass
If you leave it, you may pass
Attend classes at your college
This will help increase your knowledge
Try to be on friendly terms
With your teachers all the terms
Show them how you play your part
Make them say you are smart
Prepare your work in advance
Or spend your lecture in a trance
Do your homework every week
And in the lecture be so meek
Ask your teachers all the time
Asking them is not a crime
When you ask them, be so kind
This will never make them mind
If you give a wrong answer
Don't think you've caused cancer
Learning means you make a mistake
It's not a matter of make or break
When you learn it, put a side
And you have made a giant stride
If you listen well to me
Happy, happy you will be.

Deathless Child

Who kills a child and gets away, 
Lives to kill more on another day.
The child he kills he fears so much, 
He seeks her soul he cannot touch.
He takes down the life he only sees, 
And grants her life no one can seize.
The death he caused this bird of peace
Shall dog his soul and end his lease.
He shall be damned in hell for this.
As this we know shall not him miss.

Lost In Paradox

I read here and there what people have to say.
They all speak so well; they all preach and pray. 
They never say bad things or cause any harm. 
They claim to be so well and keep so pretty calm.
The world they paint for us is like Paradise on Earth.
The truth they cannot face they always keep  beneath.
We all can see the truth, although we never say. 
They think we are naïve; we know they go astray.

She Is the Nation

Who can live without a woman?
Who can live without ambition?
She is the source of all inspiration.
She is the sweetest of all creation.
She gives without any hesitation.
She fills the world with jubilation.
And injects our lives with sensation
She raises men and builds a nation.
She seeks no reward or compensation.
She preaches patience and toleration.
And cares with so much consideration.
We look up to her with all admiration. 
The greater she is, the greater the nation!

Spend and God Will Send

I've seen so many people. I've known one common type.
I've found them hard to deal with, and harder to describe.
They work so really hard and make a lot of money.
They never wish to use it, or part with any penny.
Some never get married, as this requires money.
They think a wife and children will waste all their money.
They lead a lonely life as this will save more money . 
I wonder why they work and make so much money!
They never enjoy their lives with some of this money! 
No man has ever been buried with all his saved money!
The pleasure of spending money provides no equal lure.
So, spend your dear money and God will send you more.
