      which is impossible without pain's occurrence

      just like darkness is to light's prevalence

      If no grief be there on a planet like this

      who would be inspired by heaven's bliss

      Monotony is the other name for extinction and death

      Change is the constant since time's first breath

      God is extremely proud of His state of infallibility

      So He confines this trait only for His own majesty

      Human knowledge is of a very fragmentary nature

      We will understand only on meeting our Creator!

      The Great Misconception

      Have you ever wondered why the modern man

      is in such a conflict with the Divine plan?

      Because he sees everything with the wrong lens

      His distance from the truth is thus immense

      He thinks every talent, skill or ability

      is to earn nothing but personal glory

      When he has quenched this desire of caprice

      he feels it's the ultimate level of bliss

      He calls it self-actualization

      I label it self-destruction

      No one is born with any faculty

      that is a hindrance towards reality

      How can God make someone into an actor or a dancer

      when His teachings are to ensure none is a sinner

      A single verse of the Quran, can you quote?

      or from the prophet's life, any anecdote?

      which tells us that instead of piety

      we should only strive for competency

      The entire concept of religion

      is under a spell of delusion

      It is falsely said, "if you've got it, flaunt it"

      God granted woman beauty but ordered to conceal it

      So tough is the path of humility

      to not seek any worldly nobility

      Spiritual masters aren't fools

      to break contemporary rules

      They always stress on the lower-self's annihilation

      Because in God's eyes, worth has a unique criterion

      This isn't another philosophical contradiction

      This is what I call as the great misconception!

      A Small Dialogue with the West

      They say that Islam was spread solely by the sword

      I say it upheld equality among the family of God

      They say that in warfare, Holy Prophet himself took part

      I say self-defense was the motive right from the start

      They say that terrorism is the consequence of only Islam

      I say even during battles, Quran shuns bringing undue harm

      They say that Pakistan is the home of every extremist

      I say your vision is unclear due to rumor's mist

      They say that to technology, this Ummah has no contribution

      I say Science is an outcome of the old Islamic civilization

      They say why don't Muslim countries embrace Western democracy?

      I say Quran claims we'll be misled by following the majority

      They say, "male chauvinism defines the social setup of your religion"

      I say no other society in history has granted more rights to women

      They say why didn't Islam immediately abolish the norm of slavery

      I say it's wisdom to tear off bad habits slowly gradually

      They say that Islam opts for conflict over harmony

      I say why did its founder sign hudaibya treaty?

      They say what are the practical steps for achieving peaceful co-existence?

      I say spirituality, economic justice and political control in sequence

      They say how can we make this world a better place?

      I say apply Muhammad's method in time and space!

      Democracy or Islam?

      So often we hear from the tongue of the pseudo intellectual

      that this Ummah needs democracy to rise from its upheaval

      The so-called learned do not realize the contradiction

      that lies between Islam and democratic dispensation

      In the very definition of democracy

      is the negation of God's sovereignty

      Of all things, man becomes the measure

      of right and wrong, he is the author

      for its operation, skepticism is inevitable

      to any transgression, it can grant approval

      Be it homosexuality or prostitution

      No guidance from divine revelation

      The Quran claims that majority on earth follow mere conjecture

      If you abide by their opinion, you'll be the eventual loser

      Without spirituality, Nafs dictates the mind of a human

      There is no guarantee of truth in such a situation

      According to great scholars, ijtihad is not an open mandate

      Everyone doesn't have the right to it in an Islamic state
