СКАЧАТЬ ordinary Muslim would've been out of senses

      About his greatness, how can there be any disagreement or debate?

      Muhammad said, "If I am the city of knowledge, Ali is its gate"!

      Just a small thought

      Since the advent of Adam and Eve,

      Mystics have asked us to believe

      that the highest achievement is self-annihilation

      Yet since we are captivated by self-actualization

      this idea doesn't appeal to us at all

      It is only when we break down and fall

      we realize that how feeble we truly are

      for us to work and shine like a star

      each and every iota of our very complex body

      should be in a state of perfect tranquility

      To such an unbelievable extent

      we depend on God's intent

      If He doesn't take care of us

      and grant us bounties surplus

      We are nothing but just another organism

      this humility isn't taught by any ism

      only religious experience can guarantee

      such a profound sense of spirituality

      in which you don't get carried away

      by your normal routine every day

      so much gratitude we should offer

      that only seldom we have to suffer

      No wonder, the prophets laughed little and wept more

      because life's reality is an ocean without a shore

      Such a deceiving illusion is this material world's outer getup

      That's why Muhammad said, "people are asleep; when they die, they wake-up"!

      A Bundle of Contradictions

      O' God

      I have such a strange relationship with you

      I can't comprehend what you put me through

      Sometimes you grant me suprises of the most pleasant nature

      I feel like laying my head in prostration forever

      But sometimes you put me through so much hell

      that I feel so hurt, I can't even yell

      Sometimes you seem to be the Grand Designer of the cosmos

      No Science or Philosophy can bring in my faith any loss

      Sometimes your creation has so many imperfections

      I simply fail to be in a state of appreciation

      Sometimes you give me so much honor and glory

      As if between you and I, there is a love story

      Sometimes you make me go through so much humiliation

      As if you want to teach me a bitter lesson

      Sometimes I am flattered by the talents you let me taste

      Sometimes I am frustrated by seeing them go to waste

      Sometimes my complaint against you is a neverending river

      Sometimes, at the thought of your majesty, I shiver

      In my life, you have so many roles to play

      That I am baffled as to what to pray

      Perhaps, you'll always remain a wondrous mystery

      Only death will unveil you infront of me!

      Thank you Dear Readers

      You may not be aware of it at all

      but you raise me when I fall

      When I had totally given up writing

      My literary spark, you kept igniting

      When I think my mind has become fully empty

      you sow the seed of intellect's tree

      When I see your name in my inbox

      I get rid of my mental blocks

      Whether a critique or an appreciation

      You help me in self-transformation

      You may encourage me or you may belittle me

      In either case I testify to your sincerity

      I may not know each one of you on a personal level

      Yet our bond is pure without the whims of devil

      Since many years, my career has been in a state of crisis

      But your presence in my life is a source of bliss

      Never think you just belong to an emailing list

      Ask my heart, how often you are missed

      Lets hope our relationship forever remains alive

      And of your input, I am never deprived

      You can criticize my works as much as you like it

      But I'll always consider it in the right spirit

      As long as you take out time from your busy schedule

      In my lyrical kingdom, you'll always rule

      Pray that God keeps moving you with my words

      and grants me the best of both worlds!

      A Message to Islam

      I have written around 100 poems about you

      Yet I fail to understand what is true

      Truth does not seem as simple as is portrayed

      Reality is far more complex than is displayed

      I do know that you are the best religion
