~ Beauty ~

May all beings be filled with joy and peace.
May all beings everywhere, the strong and the weak,
The great and the small, the mean and the powerful,
The short and the long, the subtle and the gross:
May all beings everywhere, seen and unseen,
Dwelling far off or nearby, being or waiting to become:
May all be filled with lasting joy.

Let no one deceive another,
Let no one anywhere despise another,
Let no one out of anger or resentment
Wish suffering on anyone at all.
Just as a mother with her own life
Protects her child, her only child, from harm,
So within yourself
Let grow a boundless love for all creatures.

Let our love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as we stand or walk, sit or lie down,
As long as we are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Our life will bring heaven to earth.

~ In This Life ~

In this life ......

In this life we need insight to follow the light

In this life we must do just what is right

In this life for many survival is a fight

In this life for some comfort is out of sight

In this life not all will find it pretty and bright

In this life belief will bring us relief

Then Let's live faithful with hope,

Keep on believing in the words of Allah

Follow not those who are proud

As only in Allah's word

In this life we'll ever learn how to cope

In this life belief will bring relief

In this life everything has an end

In this life our lives He just lend

However there will come a time

According to His words

Hereafter life will be happy and bright

In this life only belief will bring us relief

In this life we need His mercy and grace

In this life however hard be your case

Make no waste but with Him keep the pace

In this life belief will bring us relief.

~ I Want ~

I want .......



I don't want life
to be hard and cold

I want to be surrounded
by kindness and love
feel the soft caress
of family,
friends
and
loved ones

I want happiness to flow
so deep and fast
that sadness drowns
and is washed away

I want anger and harsh words
soften by love
melted by forgiveness

I want everyone to help
by building a bridge
to a kinder
and
softer world

" I Wish I Could................"

~ I Wish I Could ~


I wish I could be
the face you see
when you close your eyes and sleep

I wish I were the photo in your frame
and that my name
was the song you'd always sing

I wish I had the shoulder
you'd cry on
when things don't go your way

I wish I could tell you
how I'm feeling
well, maybe some day

I wish I could be
the one you'd run to
when your life won't treat you right

I wish I could be
the one you'd want to
be with for the rest of your life

I wish that I could
hold you close
be the one you need the most

I wish I could
I wish I could
I wish I could be with you

I wish you would
wrap your arms around me
whisper 'how ya doin?'
in my ear

Sometimes
these nights get lonely
how I wish that you were here

I wish that I could
hold your hand
try to make you understand

That meetin' you
turned my life around
I never knew what I'd found
'til now

I wish I was a chapter
in your life story
the one without an end
livin' happily ever after
wanna be your closest friend

Wanna love that's true
eternally
wish I meant to you
what you mean to me

I wish I could be
what's on your mind
when all you do is smile

I wish you'd call me
all the time
number 1
on your speed dial

I wish that we could dance the night away
under moonlight

I wish I may
I wish I might
some day
if just for one day

I wish I could
I wish I could
Be with you

" Crying.................."

Crying.........


Have you ever cried without shedding a tear?
Have you felt the pain of another when they are near?
Have you cried when a new born baby arrives
And cried when you see that child as it thrives

Have you ever loved someone so much you cry?
Knowing that you will fail them no matter how you try
To keep the pain of harm, of loss, of love, of life
Turning it into joy and goodness, instead of strife

Have you felt the tears fall like raindrops as you smile?
Realizing that this is peace, glad you walked that mile...
Have you loved so hard, that it hurts deep inside
When what you need is a touch, or love that doesn't hide
It seems that there are days when the tears fall
No matter what is good, the sadness removes it all

Crying they say is good for so many things....is that true?
Good for the soul,
good to cleanse the hurt,
heal the blues

Lately life brings many tears, as the crying doesn't cease
The wars,
the famine,
the abuses,
neverending diseases
Loss of jobs,
being homeless,
addictions and dispair

Rarely do we see any happiness, only sadness in the air
I've felt the joys of motherhood, and captured all that love
Praying they would be safe and content as the white dove
Instead sometimes we fail, although it was not the intent
We do our best, still fail the test, tears can't fix the dents

Crying, crying, crying...seems that is what we do.....
The tears do not fix everything, they simply fail as glue

Although we try, the years go by,
We see through different eyes, no matter how I tried

Have you ever felt the tears as they drop like heavy rain
Thinking that soon, they will dry and there will be no pain

Have you ever cried so much that there are none left
Then realized that it doesn't really matter; it is all set

I have cried the tears of joy,
the tears of gladness,
the tears of sorrow,
the tears of forgiveness,
the tears of laughter,
the tears of anger,
the tears of grieving

I have cried a river, and filled every crack within my soul
yet, for some reason, I am certain, that there will be more
because no matter what life brings us,
tears come to shore

Of all the tears that I have shed, the one that means
the most to me..
is when I held my hands and asked
to be forgiven!

" Sometimes The Day Comes .......... "

Sometimes The Day Comes ..........

Sometimes the day comes
when you try your level best
to achieve something
but you fail

Sometimes the day comes
when nobody understands you
and you feel that you are isolated
from the world

Sometimes the day comes
when you want to help the needy
but find yourself unable to
because of some reasons

Sometimes the day comes
when you are hungry and have a few bucks
but you see the child laborers and buy food for them

Sometimes the day comes
when Mom comes up with one answer
and Father with another
and you have to make your own decision

Sometimes the day comes
when you see that some people ditch others
because of their selfishness

Sometimes the day comes
when you want to tell something to your parents
but find yourself unable to because
you think that they might get hurt or misunderstand you

Sometimes the day comes
when your friends drift apart
not because you were not able to understand them
but because they were not able to understand you

Sometimes the day comes
when you want to smile
but can't find a place to even weep

Sometimes the day comes
when your beloved can't understand your feelings
and leaves you alone
and you look down and feel ashamed or embarrassed

But sometimes the day comes
when you learn from all your failure and think
"Those who dare to fail greatly can achieve greatly."

Don't look down, look up.

You are one of the persons to whom GOD is closest
and He loves you.

" Let Go and Let Allah....................."

Let Go and Let Allah...........


When the clouds seem their darkest
And the daylight won’t come;

When you’re up to your ears and drowning
And can’t find a straw to hang on.

When your load gets too heavy,
or your shoes get too tight;

When you’re faced with life’s battles
and have no will to fight;

Remember:
Let go and let Allah

Remember:
He is the way.

You just trust in Allah's mercy
every night and every day;

Remember:
All thru the darkness

Remember:
All thru the storm

There’s a Light there to guide you.
And to Allah to lean on.

" Journey Through Time................"

Journey through time..................


As we journey back in time
We must always look ahead
Thoughts of past are written
We must not feel their dread
Obstacles are always there

But through them we must find
Journey on a brand new day
By each of us designed
In life so much to overcome
But each new day we see
Chance to feel the calmness

Life's quite harmonies
Crystal streams to soothe us
Air to breathe so clear
Within this peaceful glowing

Each day a new premiere
With hope for bright tomorrow
With love that fills the mind
The joy and peace of knowing
Each new day is divined.

Elaika...........

Here are my highest requests for you the God of creation
Even if I was a criminal, you are the generous

And when my heart became hard and my ways were narrowed
I only asked for your forgiveness

You always pardoning our guilt
You forgive and pardon through your highness and kindness

Weren't you the one who guided and feeded me
And you still giving me gifts and treat me with kindness

Perhaps from his charity forgive myself
And hide my past bad deeds

So if you forgive, then you are forgiving a rebel
And a wicked and bad person

So if you revenge from me then I am not sad
Even if they put my soul in hellfire

Articulate when mentioning his God
And like a stranger in anything else.

Says: My Beloved, you are my cause and who I ask
It's enough for me to only ask and enjoy you

I protect my love to be changed from my personal emotions
And I keep the convient of Love from being covered or changed

When I am awake, I miss you and when I am asleep I have wishes
These feelings keep following me with happiness and satisfaction

So my past and recent sins are great
And your forgiveness for your slaves are much greater than that.

" Yaa Allah......................."

Yaa Allah ........


Ya Allah
I need your help to stay my very self
I need your help to keep my thoughts pure
I need help to live life in belief
I need help to die as a believer
I need your help to overcome pain
I need help to become my happy self again

Ya Allah
I need you day and night
for the evil seed has started to grow
in my very soul and heart
I dont wish this seed to become tree
for it would be hard for me to cut it
when it be strong from root to stem

Ya Allah
I dont want to defile my thoughts
I dont want to think wrongly about you
and I just wish to die in grief only for you

" To err is human................"

To err is human................

I wish I were a doctor so talented
I could have saved lives of many and
wouldn’t have let anyone die in pain

I wish I were a scientist so intelligent
I would have invented an instrument
to save the world from all calamities

I wish I were an astronaut so daring
I would have definitely found
another earth for survival of mankind

I wish I were a magician so perfect
I would have turned all the sorrows
of the people into joy

I wish I were a judge so just
I would have punished only the guilty
and set free the innocent

But .........
I am just human who makes mistakes
So I should try to be a better human
and let Allah do his work

" A Letter To Allah......................"

" The Beggar.........................."

The Beggar............


I am a beggar at my lord’s door
Repenting tears of quick relief
Sitting patiently I do cry and weep
Glorifying and thanking my lord

I am a beggar at my lord’s door
Pleading my sins be wiped off
Expecting paradise a sincere reward
For deeds righteous done with rightful ease

I am a beggar crying forgiveness at my lord’s door
the day my lord shall open the door
he shall find me at his doorstep
crying weeping and begging forgiveness

I am a beggar at my lord’s door
thanking and patiently waiting for the open door
for I be lucky to have my lord standing tall
and I shall weep away my guilt
holding his rope strong
there is none better than my lord
who responds the distressed’s call
saves his people from drowning
cures the sick and guides the lost

Yaa Rabb!

I am a beggar at your door
sitting patiently at your doorstep
pure hoping my cry to be heard by you
relieving me my pain and sufferings

Yaa Rabb!

I am a beggar at your door
you had guided me to this way
when I lost my home, I did astray
only to havefound you on my darkest day

Yaa Rabb!

I am but a beggar at your doorstep
pleading my sins be washed away
I am a beggar crying and profusely weeping at your pious doorstep
morning till evening

Yaa Rabb!

I am a beggar I crying at your door
hear my prayers true that i make unto you
accept my apologies and my guilts
cleaning away my heart of dirt and grit
leaving it shining as the water pure
or a mirror reflecting truth for sure

" Deep Recession......................"

Deep Recession................


Goodbye Sanity!
Your world is
Too harsh for me
Too many masks to wear
Too heavy to bear.

Hello Insanity!
At least in your’s
I can be sane.

A dark tunnel
Extends from my head
Passing through my spine
To the centre of the earth.

I am sinking
Just dropping
Like a bird’s feather
The other end of which
Is tied to a heavy thought.

Darkness always
Reminds me of you
It is ephemeral
You can’t hold it for long
Like you can
Light, resting on an object.
Like you, darkness swallows me.

It is an abyss
Without a bottom
Yet I am relaxed
Just dropping –
No mass; no matter
No matter; no mind
No mind; no thought
Just drifting –

I have left my mind
At your doorstep
It belongs to you.

Here in this world
Ah, Bliss!

" Material Things..............."

Material things,………….

What do they bring?

Sorrow and pain, Drive you insane!

Spend all our time, Wondering if that, Could be mine!
Things that won't last,

Worry about the past! What have I got? Not a lot!

Except the gifts that God gave,

That we might be saved

Instead of enslaved,

Until the things are paid

Save our lives from this hell,

Don't worry where we dwell

Hope we compel

We judge on possessions,

It becomes An obsession

This is regression, It comes from oppression

Have some discretion!

All that we see, Won't last for infinity,

Don't give up your divinity

All of this earth, What is it worth?
Everything comes from the dust,

So will it return

Stop your yearning, Start your learning!

Don't be tempted by the lure,

Definitely don't adore.
Only thing that endure

Stuff we learn, That's pure?
Only then can we assure,

Our lives are worth more!

" I Dream To Be........................."

I dream to be .......

A page in the book of history
An eagle soaring high and free.
A squirrel leaping from tree to tree
The dolphin swimming the azure sea.

I yearn to know -

The glow of love within my soul
Companionship as I grow old.
The warmth of friends banishing the cold
The meaning of life without being told.

I ache to find -

Tranquility within my mind
An oasis of calm in the desert of life.
An island of hope in the ocean of time
And read the book of the dead before I die.

I long to see -

People freed from fear and savagery
Creatures saved from lives of misery.
The light of God coming for me
As I enter a realm of complete liberty.

All these things I dream to be...

" The Forest of Illusions............."

The Forest of Illusions.............

I walk through the forest where no dreams lie
I see many ruins but I can only sigh
I see here that many die
I see here that many cry
But no one ever wonders why
The forest is alive
It feels like its following me everywhere I strive
This feeling says wherever I may lie
I will always follow the sky
Out of these emotions
Out of the Forest of Illusions
As I walk down the forest where no dreams lie
As I uncover the great mystery inside
My mind has played tricks on my ability
But it knows the forest will never die
Neither will I
Come chant the songs of mystery
Come alive with the visions of immortality
Come down with the power of pity
These feelings stay wherever I may lay
I will always follow the sky
Out of these years of devotion
Out of these emotions
Out of the Forest of Illusions
I now realize that I am lost
Lost and I have paid the cost
I shouldn't have wandered into the forest
I start to run in the shadows
Only to find many closed windows
I yell for them to be opened
There's never anyone to depend on in the end
I have wandered and ran for years
My mind moving through the years
As I run through the forest of mystery
I realize it was done mindlessly
I plan on flying
I am now dying
I have been a fool of the illusion of immortality
Another fool of a great calamity
Another poor victim of illusion
Another fool of devotion
I am finally leaving the forest
I now lay my soul to rest
Cause I have left for the west
It is so much easier to rest
I lay at night thinking
About how close I came to death
How close I came to breaking
I think where my travels will lead me
What kind of places will deceive me
Nothing will deceive me more
Than the forest I had once adored
I am leaving the forest
I don't know how I left
I now head west
Still following the sky
I now know reason why
I have followed the sun
I have run
I have followed the stars
They can leave many scars
Out of the forest I go
Through the illusions I grow
I have finally left
I have finally left
I will still follow the sky
Until the day I die
I've never had such a bad experience
Such a one that made me more serious
I have found the solution
I am out of the Forest of Illusion
I am out of the Forest of Illusion
I will never look back
I will never go back
If I do, I will get trapped
Never again will I venture
Into the Forest of Illusion

" Fly off to eternity........"

Fly off to eternity........

( Wed, July 11, 2007 - 2:32 AM )

"....In the dead of night, a Sufi began to weep.
He said, "This world is like a closed coffin, in which
We are shut and in which, through our ignorance,
We spend our lives in folly and desolation.

When Death comes to open the lid of the coffin,
Each one who has wings will fly off to Eternity,
But those without will remain locked in the coffin.

So, my friends, before the lid of this coffin is taken off,
Do all you can to become a bird of the Way to God;
Do all you can to develop your wings and your feathers......"

" The Soul That Does not Live in God is not Alive............"

The Soul That Does not Live in God is not Alive............

(Thu, July 12, 2007 - 1:29 AM)


Spring makes red and white flowers appear on the trees,
But the spring that is the origin of colors is colorless.

Understand what I have said, and give up all talk;
Run to the Origin without color and unite yourself to it.

Annihilate yourself before the One Existence
So that thousands of worlds leap out of you

And your pure existence flames out of itself
And goes on and on birthing different forms.

Of course, none of these forms will last.
Happy is the one who knows this mystery!

Happy is he who gives his life to know this!
He leaves this house for another far more radiant.

You cannot understand this mystery through reason;
The Way to Knowledge winds through suffering and torment.

If you do not feel pain, you do not look for healing.
The soul that does not live in God is not alive.

She seems like a soul, but does not deserve the name:
She has not been made alive by the Beloved.

The soul is given life by the four-elements
Like a lamp that burns through the night:

The light is from oil and wick, it is not eternal.
While the oil exists, the lamp burns, but then goes out.

The one made alive by God will never die.
He lives through God and not through gold or bread.

God is the Light, the Eternal Source of Lights.
The Light is causeless, as is His fiery radiance.

Like gold, God's value comes from His pure, perfect essence.
