In my little cup of tea
I see a beautiful blue sky and sea
And the flying yellow butterfly
The fishes smiled
...
I want to grow this height
And mould this mind
I want to curb this pain
And feel this peace
...
And is the knowledge of the deen not fading?
Replaced by ignorance?
Has adultery not become widespread?
And alcohol so common
...
Here is the dance floor!
Where are the dancers?
Those who instigated the songs
The songs that the musicians sing
...
They treated me badly
And I yearned to treat others well
They showed me pain
And I wanted to kill everybody’s pain
...
When a little girl decides to speak to the elderly
The elderly that would not listen even to their fellow elders
When she wants to take advantage of her innocent mind
To narrate to the high and mighty a story
...
My heart sees
The greatness of your heart
My eyes see the blessings in your actions
Did God not strengthen the hearts of men?
...
Listen! Listen! Listen!
Listen to my words
And not to my voice
For silvery is my voice
...
In one night
A few steps into the fortnight
I had prayed to the Light
Needing His Might
...
The jumpings in my heart
In my little hut
Possessing my mind
A man of a kind
...
In my eyes is a tear
A mixture of pain and fear
In my mind
A surprise of a kind
...
The vice of the soul is ignorance
The virtue of the soul is knowledge
But what happens when knowledge benefits not the knowledgeable?
What happens when the knowledgeable become culprits
...
She walked down the isle
Gracefully, as many said
Ravishing, sexy, daring
Many among the people thought
...
You are sad
Because it is a girl
You hide yourself
You cannot stand the shame
...
In our ears
The sound of music
The singers sing on
From stages up high
...
The Most Beautiful
She is the most beautiful
Everybody says so
She does not have the smoothest skin
Neither does she have the best face or body
But she is the most beautiful
She is not the most intelligent
She did not have the best voice
But everybody called her
The most beautiful
Her beauty was not for the eyes to appreciate
It was for the heart to see
An inner beauty
This is not located in her blood
Nor in her flesh
But deep down her heart
An inner beauty that reflects on her face
And makes it the most beautiful face
A beauty that makes her skin glitter
Like the stars in the sky
A beauty that reaches out to the poor
To give them food and money
To give them hope of a brighter tomorrow
A beauty that lustful men might never see
A beauty that is light
For those living in darkness
A beauty that is hope
For those who are down
A beauty that is company
For those who are lonely
A beauty that is joy
For those who are sad
A ravishing beauty
An adorable beauty
An expensive beauty
Her inner beauty
The most beautiful of all the most beautiful
