Captive of Love: Ode to the Cocoa Bean
Within your humble shell, a treasure lies,
A sea of flavors, rich and deeply sweet.
An exotic dream beneath the skies,
A love affair no other can defeat.
You capture hearts, eternal in your snare,
A bite, and Eden’s garden comes alive.
Surrender to the bliss beyond compare,
A tangy heaven where our dreams survive.
As simple as life, as smooth as soft silk,
I soothe the ache your fleeting lovers leave.
Dark, white, or fruity, nutty, purest milk,
A joy for passion’s night or Christmas Eve.
Am I enslaved, or simply ever fond?
Is this true bondage—or an endless bond?
Saadia Syed
Life Can Be Beautiful After a Rape
"I am the voice of your soul,"
Whispered a quiet strength from within.
"You are pure, you are whole, your heart still beats true.
I know the darkness feels endless,
And the world seems unbearably cruel,
But from the ashes of this moment,
You can rise toward a life worth living.
Trust yourself.
Because life can be beautiful after a rape."
I know you hate your reflection.
Your spirit feels crushed,
And time seems like an enemy—
Moving too slow, yet too fast.
Perhaps you've thought of an end,
A heaven far removed from this pain.
But pause.
Breathe.
Remember, the fire inside you still burns,
And you still have what it takes to live freely,
To live fully,
Because life can be beautiful after a rape.
You are not the first to face this storm,
Nor will you be the last.
The past is scarred,
And the future holds more shadows,
But your strength can break this darkness.
You don't have to bury yourself
In the shroud of disdain,
Self-loathing,
Or mistrust.
You can rebuild.
You can find light again.
You can create something beautiful,
Even after a rape.

True hero never claims to be a hero.
His work speaks for itself.
His service for the society and
community makes him a hero.
Our hero is Iqrar ul Hassan Syed.
Who is your hero Supari killer?
Who is your hero Gangster?

"What Makes Me a Woman?"
Sitting in my bed,
One idle afternoon.
Looking in the mirror.
I asked myself,
For a millionth time,
What makes me a woman?
Is it the role of a daughter?
Mother, wife and a sister?
A heart that is selfless,
Kindness unconditional,
Generous and giving soul.
Beauty that embarrasses the moon,
Warmth that melts snow,
Or passion brighter than the fire.
Or to have no
Desire of my own
And
No hopes that are mine.
Is it the unlived moments,
Unseen dreams
Giving up my life,
My goals for the greater good,
And
Living the life
Chosen for me by the loved ones or
Beloved.
Is it the same epic, eternal question Eve asked when she looked at Adam?
I thought.
My heart,
As stubborn and childish as it could be,
Smiled and whispered to me, “all that makes you human."
Knowing that
You belong to yourself first,
That's what makes you a woman.

Hijab
Hijab, niqab, jilbab, or chador of ridah.
Draping eloquently the notion of obscurity with expressions so holy.
Living an invisible existence on screen of life.
Suffering in silence; and protecting honor of riwayaat daily.
Should I surrender the will of life, being, self, or khudi?
Don’t show, just hide: don’t feel, but survive.
Don’t love just subsist in this infertile valley.
Don’t cry,
You are a daughter of a contemporary,
Traditional, man of Islam.
For you life hereafter is the prize.
To find yourself when everything is hidden in the ideals of hijab
Is a miracle of love
It’s life greatest surprise.

Beware of Syed Adam Ahmed
When you take a flight.
Yes evil Syed Adam Ahmed
Is sure to cause a fright!
When he was born, he never cried,
Which people thought was weird.
He creepily just looked and spied.
'He's plotting! ' people feared.
Then at the tender age of one,
Or so the experts say,
He screamed 'BOOM' just like a bomb,
Scared everyone away.
Perhaps that's why he caught the eye
Of top security -
He now was watched by the FBI -
To keep us safe, you see.
For when it comes to saving us
From dangers big and small,
There is no question what is just -
Protecting one and all.
And that is why, at age of six,
They have him on a list.
For who would want to take the risk
That he's a terrorist?
Yes, beware of Syed Adam Ahmed -
Scary six year old!
He's dangerous and wants you dead,
If you believe what you are told.

Those who are the educated,
In society, highly rated,
If ethical not, they are to people,
Half of their wisdom is wasted.

Those who kill innocents are cruel,
Their bodies will always be hell’s fuel,
Islam teaches about honor and dignity,
Care and love for the whole humanity,
But black sheeps are found everywhere,
Like KKK or Taliban, “Be aware”,
They do things on their own,
Their very own people, they disown.

Divine Message
If you are able, help the disable
This is the message of Koran & Bible,
This action of helping is very noble,
That's how society will always be stable.
Where every one cares about others,
Not only friends and family members,
Starting from your own neighbors,
Till your city's all corners.
Helping hand you should extend,
Try it and you will like this trend,
Where to do good, has no end,
When, a stranger becomes your friend.
Helping others bring prosperity,
Let's be honest, its reality,
It develops the whole community,
So don't rely always on charity.
Disabled are not a burden to us,
They are talented if we really do notice,
When we teach them, they always progress,
Colors need to fill-in, in their canvas.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
When innocent dies,
Whole universe cries,
Even of dear earth,
We can hear, outcries,
But selfish human being,
Never even sighs.

My life
It’s hard for me to tell what I went through,
Those who understand me are very few,
In trash, my heart, people repeatedly threw,
But that's the way I learnt and grew,

Rose
If we all become flowers of rose,
Whose scent always outgrows,
Even those hands crush us, in an instance,
Will be left with our fragrance.
