Nostalgia
Posted on January 8, 2022 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
My uncle sent me this video of our beloved village of Beit Iksa, so I wrote
You touched me deeply, dear uncle
I asked my tears
How breathtakingly beautiful this part of earth is!
How deep is her pain and how profound is her her sorrow!
When I saw her, as if my eyesight was lost
The mind wandered like a terrified motherless filly that doesn’t know the way
Heart stopped beating
Soul melted, limbs trembled
Guts churned, breath taken away
Deep love drowned in excruciating pain
Overwhelming joy faded away into eternal sadness
I no longer know who I am, where I came from or where am I going
Do I cry of euphoria or laugh of sorrow and grief?
The strings of my soul intermingled with her soil
You wouldn’t know anymore, which was me or which was her
Sun stood still and earth is no longer revolving
Overwhelmed with nostalgia
Childhood love erupted without warning
The yearning of youth in my being set ablaze
Weaving agony in my grieving heart
I thought I had buried years ago
However,
Laws and Truth of God, can never be changed, forever prevail
From the darkness of agony shines the dawn of glory and hope
From the bitterness of sorrow, the sweetness of patience and gratitude, enjoyed forevermore
“The earth will gleam with the Light of its Lord, and the Records shall be set up, and the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward: and a just decision pronounced between them; and they will not be wronged (in the least).”
Would a rope tightened to God be ever cut off?
Does a heart connected to the Most Loving Sublime, would ever know despondency or despair?
Would a Divine promise from the Most Merciful ever be broken?
God-forbid… No way!
“when the second of the warnings will come to pass, We will raise up a people that they may disgrace your faces and may enter the Mosque as they entered it the first time, and that they may destroy with utter destruction whatsoever extreme power/ hegemony, you may have achieved/accumulated”

لوَّعني الحنين
Posted on January 8, 2022 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
أرسل لي خالي هذا الفيديو لقريتنا الحبيبة السليبة بيت إكسا فكتبت
أثرت يا خال شجوني فسالت دموعي
ما أروع هذه البقعة من الارض وما أجملها
ما أشد الامها وما أعمق احزانها
وكأني حين رأيتها زاغ مني البصروتاهت البصيرة
وشرد العقل كمهرة يتيمة مذعورة لا تعرف الطريق
احتبست أنفاسي التاع كبدي والتَوَت أحشائي
ذابت روحي وارتعشت جوارحي وأطرافي
وتوقف القلب عن الخفقان
امتزج الحب العميق بألم مروِّع شديد
والفرحة العارمة ذابت في حزن سرمدي سحيق
ما عدت ادري من أنا، من أين أتيت ولا الى أين المسير
أأبكي فرحاً أم أضحك حزناً وكمدا
اختلط حابل روحي بنابلها
وسكنت الشمس وما عادت الأرض تدور
غمرني الحنين
لوعني عشقٌ تجذر في الطفولة
وشوق الصِبا صَبا في كياني
وفتّح في حنايا فؤاديَ المكلوم شجوناً
حسبتني دفنتها من سنين
ولكن هي سُنَّةَ ٱللَّهِ ولا تجدن لِسُنَّةِ ٱللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًا
من عتمة الآلام يسطع فجرالحمد والأمل
ومن مرارة الأحزان تذاق حلاوة الصبر والعرفان
“وَأَشْرَقَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ وَجِيءَ بِالنَّبِيِّينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ”
هيهات لحبل وثَّقه الله أن ينقطع
وهل يعرف قلب موصول بالله القنوط؟
وأنى لوعدٍ من الرحمن أن يُخلف
حاشاه
” فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيرًا”

💗 💗 💗 💗 💗 💗 💗
This is how we were created to be
Joyful, innocent, curious
Tender, graceful, awash in love
Prayerful, playful, Full of awe

Children is how the universe smiles
Scattered bundles of poise and joy

Flowers of Heaven
Your Creator I revere, you, I adore
Wouldn’t I give my life and soul
To see the twinkle in your eyes, glow

Have You Ever, Seen a Father Like This?
Posted on November 7, 2021 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
It has been said
Every cup seeps out of what it contains
My father is an exemption
Trenched in sadness
Filled to the brim with pain
Yet always oozing fun and joy
A bundle of delight
Captured in a human form
Bouncing with elation
Sharp in his wit
A magnet of humour
A storyteller without a rival
A sparkle of light
Landed from Heaven
Intense… flowing poise and euphoria
Endearing to the oppressed
Fearless before the cruel
Gentle, yet audacious
Cheeky, mischievous, playful like a child
Adored by little ones
Charming to all around
Graceful like a scented rose
Awesome in his wisdom
Eccentric yet sublime
Serene in his demeanour
Modest in his splendour
Humble yet grand
To his curious mind
Knowledge is his quest and treasure
Learning, from cradle to grave
To his loving heart
Every human is his brother or sister
Every family is his very own
To his sensitive persona
Every person is a saint
Worthy of the prayer, “may God be pleased with you”
To his grateful soul
Every day is Eid
Every moment is anew, worthy of celebration
A smile-painter, life-infuser
A heart-healer, pain-soother
A magic-performer without a wand
A bright light in an ocean of darkness
Earth is much dimmer with his departure
But Heaven is glowing ever brighter
Paradise is rocking with angels’ laughter

Don’t Miss Out
Posted on January 2, 2021 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
Get off your seat
Hold on very tight
Your fractured wings
And tearful soul
Meander outside
With a limping heart
A dreary story
A sack filled with pain
Wander in a meadow
Hug a weeping willow
Kiss a sleepy flower
Sway with the breeze
Flung open the gates
of your weary heart
Exhale all sorrow
Breath in the Light
Send waves of love
Up up so high
Violet and blue
Paint pink the sky
Awe struck in wonder
Bathing in splendour
Draw the world a rainbow
Up above the clouds
Watch God’s glory
Cascade like rain
Watch God’s wonder
Cascade like rain
Watch God’s love
Cascade like rain
