A weakening heart

Who are you?
- A human
No, I asked who are you?
- A woman
I asked who are you?
- A muslim!
The question was answered, the voice was tough.
Baffled reaction, exasperated they looked.
Falon i was not,
Then why that look?
Is being a muslim a crime?

My religion is as pious as yours,
My book is as echt as yours,
My Allah belongs not only to me, but to you too, Then why do i deserve that reaction on revealing my roots to you?

The evil is dumb, deaf and blind,
Cannot see the truth behind (quran)
Are you like him too?
Then why look at me like that, what did I do?

I pray like you, I enunciate truth like you,
Then why do I look like an evil to you?

I give to poors, my book asks me to,
I dont obliguy on others, my book asks me not to,
I dont drink, My almighty orders me not to,
I take care of my neighbors, so they take care of theirs too,
A better society that will build, a good country that shall make.
Then why? Why do I deserve that look?

Evils kill in the name of my religion,
But does Islam sanction it?
Will my allah forgive them?
No. They shall never be forgiven.
Allah has no place for felons in his jannah,
Then why you look at me like that?

I am a normal humanbeing , I follow Allah's path, path of righteousness , of truth and of peace.

No look can shake my roots, but it can surely weaken my heart.

Sometimes I forget

Sometimes I forget,
I am not the only one,
I am not the only one breathing,
I am not the only beautiful.

Sometimes I forget,
I am not the only one given that award,
I am not the only singer and I am not the only dancer.

Sometimes I forget,
I am not the only one with a beautiful family,
I am not the only one happy.

And then,
Sometimes in joy I dance , love, laugh and live,
Believing that yes I am one of the blessed ones,
And then I understand,
Sometimes forgetting is so much better.

A bye!

She said bye,
But why? He asked her, with a sough
She had an answer, a deep one for sure,
Still, keeping mum was her choice,
As he won't understand she had assumed.

She was a girl, who was heart broken,
Ran away from commitments and relations,
He was a guy, full of love and fun, wanted her more than anyone,

He loved her, she liked him,
Realization of her love for him came anon,
This annoyed her, reality was hard to accept,
She started running from the truth.
But till when would she run, had to take a turn,
Her heart was with him along with her mind,
She said sorry and he hugged her,
Love was there to stay..  !

Try till it ends

It is fine, It is nice, it is good, it Is beautiful.
It brings laughter, it brings joy, it is at times sorrowful.
Challenges come, too much, too many, face them with courage,
Try till the end, try till it ends.

Problems come, stay and go, sorrows come stay and go,
Only for those who try till the end, who try till it ends.

It is wonderful , lovely and beautiful,
It is life , and that's what "it" is.

A night that never went again

It was a night, that came in my life,
I never called it, I never asked it to come.

Did I call you ever? , did I take your name?
Did I ask you to stay forever?

You did not come alone, you brought him along, you stayed, you still are here, but he is no where.
I had heard, things come and go, he too came and has gone,
Then why don't you leave me, O night?
You are a night, that came and never went again.

The time we were together

Do you remember, the time we were together?
We hugged, we kissed, we walked in the bliss,
We shared memories and thoughts,
Together, we saw the night pass,
In the moonlight we sang , we danced,
And, everything seemed so perfect.
Now at this time,
I remember, what you don't,
See I remember you, I remember us.

Who were we ?
Just strangers,
Who are we?
Still strangers.
You came as a dream,
See I remember you, I remember us,
And, that's all, that matters.

A lil more, a lil less

Who says things change with time,
Its just that,
you ve started missing me a lil less
I ve started missing you a lil more,
You ve started caring a lil less,
I ve started bothering a lil more,
You ve started loving a lil less,
I ve started loving a lil more..... !
And so, things havnt changed a lot more....
they have, but a lil less. :)

An open letter to the shahi imam

Assalam-o-alaikum.
Pata chala ki apke bete ki dastaar bandi ka karyakram  Hai, sunkar behad khushi hui. Apko Mubarak ho.
Apne iss awsar par, Pakistan ke wazeer-e-alam ko nimantran diya, yeh bhi jaankar khushi hui. Iss baat ko agar aj ke Hindustani musalman ke chashme se dekha jaye, Toh yeh Ek bohot acha kadam Hai, Hindustan Aur Pakistan ki ekta ko badhane ka, is ke liye apki beintehaa shukr ghuzaar hu,
Saath hi saath yeh sunke, ki apne humare desh ke pradhan mantri Narendra Modi Ji ko amantran nahi diya, yeh jaan kar afsos se zyada mujhey hairani hui!
Apka kehna kuch iss tarah Hai, ki narendra modi Ji, musalmano ke dushman Hai, apka yeh bhi kehna hai ki Gujarat dango ke zakhm  Ab bhi Hindustani musalman ke dil par gehre Hai, yeh apki soch hai , Aur iski izzat karti hu,
Lekin bukhaari sahab, apse Ek baat kehna zarur chahungi,
Ki agar Aap humare pradhan mantri Ji ko, iss awsar par amantrit karte, aur woh ismein shareekh hotey, Toh yeh Ek bohot  acha sandesh jata desh ki awaam ko, ki humare wazeer e Alam, musalmano ke saath Hai,
Aur agar woh nahi atey Toh Hindustani asliyat se wakif hojatey Aur apki baat ko mai sahi maan sakti thee.
Unko amantrit na karke, apne musalmano ka apmaan kiya Hai.  Aaj ka musalman Bhai chaara chahta Hai, par kehte hue afsos hota Hai, ki apne musalmano ka apmaan kiya hai , beshak Aap apne iss kadam se chotey saabit hue hain. Modi Ji kisi warg vishesh ke nahi, poore Hindustan ke pradhan mantri Hai, iss sach ayi ko Aap jitni jaldi apnayein apke liye itna acha hoga.
Shukriya, agar mujhsey koi ghalti hui ho Toh maaf karein.

From a young INDIAN MUSLIM.

Why was Shaitan created?

Why did Allah create shaitan nida api (api : sister) ? Was the question my younger brother asked me, his question made me realise, that this 10 year old kid is now slowly making entry into the "real world". The question was not easy to answer, the biggest challenge was to make Araf understand the real meaning of what shaitan is, of what Allah is, of what insaan is and of what world is.
Because, I was happy about this thought which erupted like a volcano in my brother's mind!
Well, this is what I told him,
God, made man, for him he made woman, he made them perfect, placed them in the jannat (heaven), provided them with all the luxuries, ordered them for just one thing, and that was to obey Allah and not listen to Iblis ( shaitan), (Iblis was an  angel, he is a believer of Allah, but he disobeyed the almighty, he did not bow infront of adam , when Allah asked all the angels to do so. And since then he said to God, that I will make your creation : referring to Adam, disobey you)
Allah, ordered Adam not to eat the apple of that tree, in the jannat, and not listen to Iblis, things did not happen that way, and Allah as a punishment decided to send Adam and Eve along with Shaitan to this world.
Then, Shaitan, told Allah that he will till the last day of judgement , keep making his creation disobey him.
Allah blessed us, with Brain, which provided us with a power of distinguishing between the right and the wrong, he gave us the ability to stay away from shaitan, and then said to the mankind, that I have blessed you with the ability to think, now it is on you, that you stay away from shaitan or not,
If you wish to return to the jannat, from where you have come in this world, you will have to obey me.
So now, it is on you Araf, if you listen to the shaitan, and do what he makes you do, or you stay strong, keep your nerves right, and obey the almighty, and this on the day of qayamat will decide, whether you go to the jahannum (hell) following the shaitan, or you go to the place from where you have come.
This life is an exam, you have to pass it, and earn your reward.
The exam is easy, if you follow the path of Allah,
It will be the easiest if you follow the path of shaitan, but remember, if you follow Shaitan's path, you will have to follow him, on the last day of judgement too.
Its you who has to decide. I know you will make a clever choice.

If life would have been a bed of roses, would we ever realise the importance of the flower?

Life! What a wonderful thing it is. The greatest, biggest and the loveliest gift from the almighty to humanity.
Each second we live is indeed precious, because each second passed, is each second earned and gone.
We need to understand that each second we live needs to be "earned" and to earn something labour is required, things don't come easy! Yeah :D
Then why is it, that each hour of labour comes with sorrows, complaints and disappointments? When why and how do we become so selfish, despite of being aware of whatever has been mentioned above?
If life would have been easy, trust me then, you wouldn't have agreed with me on this, that life is the most beautiful gift given by god to us, is it worth living without challenges! Remember, nothing in this world comes easy for anyone.
You gotta be strong and put In efforts.
Next time, when ever you raise your hands for pray, do not ask god for no challenges...ask him for strength to fight those challenges and earn your second of life.

How beautiful is beauty ?

Beauty... ! What a beautiful word, isnt it?
But do we actually know, what does this word mean?
Well, some would say, a beautiful face describes beauty, some would say the nature describes beauty, and some would say that beauty is both external and internal. But are these the only things, which define beauty? If yes, then have you ever thought that why some faces are beautiful for some and not so beautiful for others, and why some places are beautiful for some, and not so beautiful for others..and so on and so forth? No, right!
Beauty is not just that, my friend, it is the beauty of the eyes of the onlooker! Shocked! Yes?
Yes, it is how beautifully the eyes of that person see you! It is not about how beautiful you or your heart is, it is how beautiful are the feelings of that person  towards you, which lets him see your beauty through his eyes.
So next time if someone says, "my god you are beautiful" or "you are a beautiful person" reply humbly that sweetheart its not me its your eyes which are beautiful :)

Jihaad and Terrorism

Terrorists call themselves Jihadis.
Jihadi? Jihaadis are those who practice jihad, but do terrorists practice jihad? NO. then why are they called JIHADIS. Is it just because they call them so?  If a murderer calls him a doctor, will we start calling him so? NO, we never will, then why terrorists are being called jihaadis worldwide. The media worldwide has played a major role, in spreading the word jihaadi as a synonym of the word terrorist.  
Let me first tell you, what jihad is, and what it is not. 
Jihad is often referred as “holy war” but in a purely linguistic sense the word jihad, means struggling or striving.
According to quran as, described by prophet mohammad, jihad is referred as, internal aswell as external efforts to be a good muslim or believer, as well as working to inform people about the faith of islam.
What JIHAAD is NOT. 
Jihaad is not a violent concept.
Jihad is not declaration of war against other religion. 
Military action in the name of islam, has not been common in the history of islam. Scholars say, calls for violent jihad are not sanctioned by ISLAM. 
So, next time before calling a terrorists a JIHADI, please think once.
