روحي جنة روحي جنة
بها أشجارٌ
بها انهارٌ
بها ازهارُ
فلك الشكر ولَك الحمد
يا ذَا المنة
* * *
روحي جنة روحي جنة
بها أقمارٌ
بها اطيارٌ
بها اسرارُ
ما أكرمك يا ذَا المنة

I came from there
There I belong
Where babies can fly
And prayers have wings
Where poppies dance
And angels do sing
I came from there
Where rainbow souls
With stardust tails
Float in the sky
Despite the curfews
Dazzling, their joy
I came from there
Where skies rain bombs
As air stops breathing
Families hold hands
Bathing in love
Tranquil serene
I came from there
Where furious evil
Rages with hate
Humanity’s saviours
Shining in beauty
Steadfast remain
I came from there
While others watch
Stunned and bemused
My people ascend
Peeking through veils
Where time no more
I came from there
Where truths are born
Infinity meets naught
Miracles are norm
Where loss is gain
And less is more
I came from there
Where prophets still praying
Where children play
On sacred mountains
Splashing their feet
In holy springs
I came from there
Where eyes can hear you
Where tears have smiles
And grins do weep
Where stones have feelings
And martyrs live, forevermore
I came from there
There I belong
Where life is death
And death means life
Where God dwells
Thus sings my soul

To be human is to be hugely affected by what is happening in the world
Sadness, depression and grief may linger in your heart
Colours fade into one tone of grey
You may even gasp at the edge of despair, sometimes
For one breath of hope, you’d give your life
* * *
Often, you may question your sanity
You may wake up screaming at night
Your pillow soaked with tears streaming
You may wonder if it is all but a bad dream,
A nightmare rather
Or is it a 3D horror movie in which you’re sucked into somehow
An observer, helplessly watching
* * *
Your mind rages in furious anger!
Did I read that correctly?
Did I truly hear the little girl saying such words?
Is that world for real?
Are those perpetrators even human?
Did I land in the wrong universe?
* * *
* * *
Volcanoes erupt in your chest
Battles blaze in your head
and you,
YOU… are crushed in between
* * *
* * *
Watching in curious apprehension
You try to regain bearings
To be a voice of reason
Amidst this madness
* * *
You hold your fearful heart, tight
You take your mind by the hand
Hush hush its flying thoughts
Tap its shoulder gently and whisper
Dear mind, do you mind to step aside for a moment
With all due respect, your knowledge is but a speck
Infinitesimal
Oh raging mind calm down
You view the world through a keyhole
You try to squeeze infinity in a soup bowl
Then cry like a baby, the bowl is too small
* * *
* * *
Oh foolish mind step down
You are not the author, you are not the hero
Not even an actor, or a comma in the script
Stop behaving as if you’re the main character or a superstar
* * *
* * *
You want to know the story?
O the story!
Once upon a no-space and non-time
Written on a no-place on plane ∅
A glorious tale with two letters of Light
BE… and it was
An exquisitely-smart explosion
Shattered nothingness into being… Boom…Boom
Time is born
Finely-tuned matter…poof… poof… appeared
A masterpiece
* * *
* * *
Layer upon layer, the cosmos unfolds
Time and space intertwine, majestic embrace
Pages scripted, laws encrypted
Supernovas sprinkled, stars twinkled
Galaxies and atoms hold hands, in a prayerful dance
Their pounding hearts flutter
Dazzled in adoration
Breathtaking beauty
Impatiently awaits to be discovered
Thus the story began
Imagine the ending, in a world unseen !
Heart throbbing, awestruck, serene
Soul weeps of joy, of love, of gratitude
* * * * * * * * * *
* * *
Oh bewildered me beware
Be conscious of the soul you are
Listen to the songs humming inside
Heighten your inner resolve with faith and hope
Tighten your wounds with patience abound
Change what’s within to change outside
Be the one you dream others would be
Fill your heart with kindness refined
With tender care hold your inner child
* * *
* * *
Extend your hands to the One Most High
Thus sings my soul
Receive agape love, bestow far and wide
Forevermore
* * *
* * *
Spread your wings above the clouds, rise up and fly
The story unfolds, the plot is thickening, but don’t you mind
Smile to the rainbow, again… The End is worthwhile
Sings my old soul
Sings my old soul
* * *
‘∅’ read as ‘phi’. In mathematics, ∅ is the empty set, it’s the unique set having no elements; its size or cardinality is zero.
Example: Set X = {}. It is also called a void set or null set.

Waiting
By threshold of existence
Bewildered and spellbound
Watching
Over threshold of death
Perplexed and mystified
Meandering
By threshold of lunacy
One foot in and one foot out
Wondering
At the threshold of love
Awestruck and mesmerized
Imagine
Just imagine
If only
You and I
Could leap over
Cross the line

Life has taught me
The most wonderful thing about it is
All its treasures come free
* * *
Rocks and pebbles
Amazing stones
Mighty trees
Shining stars
Sky that shelters
The air we breathe
Hills and mountains
Shores and valleys
Rivers and seas
Sand and soil
Snow and rain
Clouds and breeze
Hands that feel
Hearts that dance
Joints and knees
Flowers and roses
Colours and shades
The eye that sees
Enchanting sounds
Humming birds
The ear that hears
Friends and family
Love and joy
The smile that heals
I also learned that
All its creatures… born free… born free
Why is the fight then?
Why oppress? why enslave?
When freedom is for ALL
And ALL is FREE

Earth is throbbing in curious anticipation
The avalanche is fast approaching
People dazed in deep sleep
Some eyes are peeled as if they know
Time to retreat, weary soul
Time to retreat
Rest in a niche where Light descends
Hand it all over to the One Supreme
Carve a hole in your heart, braid your loved ones in
One by one
* * *
O soul
Put your temporary house in order
Clean up the mess before the storm
Pluck up the weeds and plow the soil
Scatter the seeds for those to come
Give it back better than you received
Stunning… Atrociously beautiful
Humbly put your head down and pray
A modest sign of ample gratitude
* * *
Raise your gaze up to the sky
Note the signs to your dwelling place
Adorn the garden of your home eternal
Let love flow free, let kindness prevail
Follow your soul, she knows the way
Let her guide you to your heavenly abode
Beneath the Throne of a Gracious Lord
Gaze in amazement at the glorious sight
Wither to nothingness before the Majesty
Splendour no eye had ever seen

The more they deplore, attempt to destroy
* * *
The more they imprison, crush or trash
The more I delight, hold dear and revere
* * *
The more they smash, sever or detach
I will kiss it better, wholeheartedly embrace
* * *
Do as you please, choose evil be vile
Break me, you will never… shake me you will fail
* * *
My inexplicable verve -driving you insane, is not of my own

Up I jump, high I fly
On a rainbow stairs, I reach the sky
To a silver cloud, I tie my dream
So no one could reach, but I
With moon ray blanket, I wrap it tight
Give it a hug, kiss it goodnight
Leave there until a day comes
Heavenly grace, before I die
I pick it up and bring down
No questions asked, no how or why
Plant its seeds in fertile hearts
Then watch it bloom before my eyes
