Purrrrrrr!!

Oh Oh! it's so cold,
Hide me in your blanket fold,
Purrrrrrrr!
Winter has arrived in it's full bloom,
Please knit mittens for me soon,
Purrrrrr!
My paws are cold,
My nose is wet,
My ears are frozen,
My life has a threat,
Purrrrrrr!
Will drink milk all day long,
Yet my tummy would never fill,
Will get dirty as much as I can,
But a bath would always kill,
Purrrrrrrr!
My eyes twinkle with mischief,
My pointed tail tells a tale,
My face full of innocence,
My meow is the sweetest gale,
Purrrrrrr!
It's time for my yearly hibernation,
Will wake up in the season of creation,
Purrrrrr!
Iam of to sleep with a sign,
Do not disturb,
But remember me at the time of,
Lasagne and herb,
Purrrrrrr!

Time To Return

Beyond those skies You exist somewhere,
If looked within You are right there,
There is nothing to fear Oh! human,
For Him all are equal man or woman,
No matter how rich or famous one becomes,
Your blessings can never be counted in sums,
You protect us through Your angels,
Who are elegantly dressed without bangles,
Even thou we cross all limits,
Never realizing its demerits,
Our ego has grown taller than the mountains,
Your Beloved's prayers keep flowing towards us,
Like huge fountains,
May we come back on the right track,
Beg forgiveness and fulfill everything that we lack,
You will embrace us once again,
Losing this Forbidden fruit does not matter,
Heaven is all that we have to gain

Justice - An Extinguishing Flame

As I walked past a silent road
Where now no life exists
Sound of music flew to my ears
Did not know from where it came

It pulled me towards itself
Hypnotized I was

Reached a door of a ruined house
It opened with a low creak
Dust and webs adorned the room
Darkness and destruction embraced it

In a corner could see a damaged piano
Which longed to be touched

A portrait hung in the corner
With worn-out expressions
Yet the eyes had a shine
Which held numerous memories

While missing the lost ones
Drowned them in tears

An angel emerged with a masked face
Which seemed to hide a lot behind it
Empty stares and silence within
Coffin of innocence wrapped it in its arms

Everyone cried for one another
Mourned till the last breaths

Regretted the crude inventions
But from death no one can return
Time moves on
Becomes a part of history
A memory

Lessons are left behind to learn
Despite of all the facts and realities
Nothing are we willing to understand
How many think on these lines?

Reason being
We are not faced with it

Alas!!!

I walk away from those ruins
Heavy at heart
In remorse, pain, anguish

In this loss Iam also to be blamed
Some where now
Justice seems like an extinguishing flame....
Saqii

The poem was written after I watched this video...

Threads

We are spread all over,
We are the threads of one cover,
No matter what you do,
No matter what you brew,
You will never reach us,
You will never preach us,
Nor will you demolish our motives
Or our gifted positives
We are the followers of the Pious Prophet P.B.U.H
The reciters of the holy Quran,
Our faith is too strong to break,
Satan thinking we should eliminate,
Dont make an effort to tear us,
You wont be able to bear us,
Learn from History,
Its all no mystery,
Facing towards the Kabah we all unite,
Where ever we may be thats our might,
We are spreading all over,
We are threads of one cover....
Saqii...

Who am I?

Who am i?
Even i dont know,
Where do i belong from,
Where do my roots grow,
Some threw me in the dungeons,
Some showed me the world of fantasy,
Some took me childhood away,
Deprived my youth of ecstasy,
Alone I traveled all these years,
On the sharp edged sword of life,
People came, exploited and left,
It all bore in like a knife,
Eyes were drowned in tears,
Soul is lost in fear,
Heart is full of pain,
In life there is nothing left to gain,
No one answers me,
No one hears my plea,
I dont know what to do,
I dont know where to flee...
Saqii

Reality Of Love

Dreams are indications of warning,
Happiness is meant to fly away,
Moments are just to be made memories,
Colours gradually fade away,
Seasons are to remind constant change,
Pictures are to blur away,
Love is to spread the poison of pain,
Dagger of anguish pierces tears to flow away...
Saqii

THE HEART PALACE 

In the depth of our eyes, we sow thousands of dreams. Some gets nourished and flourished, while some decay for forever. Such seeds were sown by two innocent souls as well, but they existed in such a world where they were in the grasps of wild climbers and weeds, which did not allow them to live and grow freely. One day, when they slept on their respective soils, found them in a world that was unknown for the rest; A world, which no one could ever imagine – A world, which was meant for those, who exist on earth in separate bodies but having one soul.

They met on the land of clouds; from where they travelled to the land unknown. On reaching there, they were welcomed by thousands of butterflies and fireflies, all possessing variety of colors. They fluttered their wings in a rhythm and sang the melodious songs. Bells were ringing in Bell flowers, clouds were pouring into the petals, and the water dancing in the circles. On watching this site, their hearts got filled with joy.

Soon they were served with grape wine in flower petals. They sat on the grass, which smelled like a fresh mint, giving a feeling of sedation. The drink spread a feel of calmness within them. As they got up to leave, all the fireflies gathered in a circle and formed a shape of a girl with wings. Soon a fairy was standing in front of them, all in pink with silver wings, blond hairs, skin as white as snow and face as innocent as a child. She seemed like a beauty queen.

Both the souls were mesmerized by her looks and were enchanted by all the happenings around them. Fairy asked did they know what this land was called. Princess said she did. Prince got a little confused and asked where they were? The Fairy kept quiet and looked towards the Princess and asked did they come to cross the lake. Princess had tears in her eyes, while she nodded in yes. Prince grew more inquisitive. Fairy gave the Princess some leaves, wrapped by an invisible thread. She asked her not to open it before they reach to the other side. They had to keep it between their palms when they were holding each others’ hands while travelling. The Prince questioned what was in the leaves and what its purpose was. The fairy told him that he would know soon.

Fairy turned towards the Princess and asked did she know what the requirement was to cross the lake, and what value it held? With heavy heart and glistering eyes, Princess said she did.
Fairy bade them farewell and told that she would meet them on the other side. Prince and Princess stood at the bank of the lake, when Princess placed the leaves in between the palms and held each others’ hand. They were about to step onto the surface of the water when the Prince suddenly stopped and said that he did not know how to swim. Princess asked did he trust her - Queen of his heart, and his only reply was, “without any doubt”. On hearing that, she pulled him forward and stepped onto the water. Something unimaginable happened; neither they got wet nor did they go inside the water. They remained on the surface and kept walking. Prince had thousands of questions in his eyes, which the Princess could read but remained silent. As they headed further, they came across a school of fish, having all clothed in ballerina dresses. They circled them and stared a dance which fascinated the Prince. Princess asked him to sit on water to enjoy the dance and relax. When the dance ended, they dived into the lake and emerged a while later with shells. Princess thanked them but Prince asked what they should do with the shells. They all smiled and replied that he would know soon. Hearing it, he grew impatient. Princess smiled and asked to get hurry as they did not have enough time.

As they were heading towards the other side of the bank, a huge jungle grew in the middle of the lake. All the trees were studded with the precious stones. Princess asked him to pick two stones of any colour. As soon as he did, he heard a squirrel speaking aloud. He instantly stepped back frightened, but the squirrel only said that she would remain with them for forever. Suddenly the whole jungle appeared vanishing which disturbed him further. With all such wonders, finally they reached to the other side, where they were welcomed again by the Fairy.

On seeing the Fairy again, Prince got excited but when he looked at his Princess, he got upset. She was in tears again which were shining on her eye lashes, making her far prettier than the Fairy. The Fairy asked the Prince to hand her all the things that they got on the way. The Prince did as he was asked for.

Then the Fairy asked him to listen carefully. The land was known as the Land of Hearts, while the lake there was known as Lake of Tears. On its bank, the palace personifies as the Heart Palace. Only those people were allowed to enter this land, which were united by the soul but could never be one physically due to various hurdles in life. Crossing this lake of tears symbolizes a true love for one another. No matter what happened in life, no matter how much their eyes shed tears but they would face the difficult times with the strength and dignity. Love is a divine gift, which gives us abundance of happiness and sadness but only true love has that strength to cross the Lake of Tears. Everyone can’t meet their soul mates. Some have to live only in the hearts, which is their only fate and destination. Heart Palace is the only place where souls can live forever, hidden from those eyes which would never accept them otherwise.

Hearing all that, the Prince collapsed on the ground crying bitterly. After a while, he asked about those things which were given to them. The Fairy replied that inside the leaves was a red rose. When the warmth of hands wrapped the flower, its fragrance started spreading love and happiness in the air. Shells were filled with love songs of the heart and the stones would take you down the memory lane every time you both thought of one another.

After hearing everything, the Prince slowly got up, went to the Princess and picked her up in his arms to kiss her tears away. Then he carried her into the Heart Palace for forever.

The next morning, when they woke up, they knew that they had been gifted by a divine life - a life which was much more beautiful than where they actually existed. It seems as if life is a never ending struggle but with a soul mate, no matter how far apart one is, never feels alone. Last but not the least, that’s such a life where they would be together not only there but even in the world here after.

"A life with unseen fragrance around is far better than such flowers that wither away in your hands"

Lines

Far away is the land of rest

Thousand miles are stretched between

Many a mountains stormy crest

Many a desert void of green

Often he looks to the ruthless sky

Often he looks o'er his dreary road

Often he wishes down to lie

And render up life's tiresom load

If you still despair control

Hush its whispers in your breast

You shall reach the final goal

You shall win the land of rest

Emily Bronte

A famous poet Emily Bronte has written this many years ago. In these words there is alot of hope and encouragement to struggle for peace and independence.

We should realise that nothing in life can be change until we don't want to change it. To change anything we have to start from within ourselves with hope and determination. Only then new paths are opened for you to bring a change around you and in the country.Its never a piece of cake to gain freedom or a change in the system but with unity,faith,discipline,hope,the struggles reach the final destination of victory!

Men of this pure land!Pakistanis PLEASE forget everything and stand united this country was made with alot of efforts it needs you now. This is the only identity we have. This is our land. Everyone in it is NOT PUNJABI SINDHI BALOCHI PAKHTOUN or MUSLIM CHRISTIAN SHIA etc. WE ALL ARE PAKISTANIS! That's our identity! rise above all these differences unite under one flag.They will never take us far if we don't come out of that shell.

Pakistan is a land for everyone.Lets make it a better place and live in it with peace and harmony together.

We always hear our elders say

When there is a will there is a way
Little do we realise it
That we all can follow it
Tierd are we of everything
In this darkness do not see anything
Nothing is right in our home today
Never did we imagine of this day
Tears are welled up in every eye
No one hears our silent cry
Day by day hunger has creeped into our lives
Like this 62 years have passed see how time flies
In this period we have made some achievements
But a question arises are we independent?
Its about time we wake up
For our mistakes we should make up
In our country to get things right
Do not follow always the might
Our efforts will flourish one day down the lane
Always trust Allah nothing will go in vain
When there is a will there is a way
We will follow what our elders say

Internal and External Life

In the darkest hours of the night,
Everything beyond my window sleeps,
Within the four walls of my room,
Everything silently weeps.

Even thou various hues decorate my room,
Everything is quite nothing to bloom,
A life exists too on the other side,
Along with joys there is some gloom.

There are times when I talk to my room mate,
But all are stuffed with cotton and wool,
Mother Nature is so kind to all out there,

Conveys God's message to every ungrateful fool.

As I stand by the window,

To breath some fresh air,

I then turn around to look at my room,
And conclude in life their is nothing fair...
Saqii

Friends Party

Oh! Oh! what should I do,
I am up and about,
For toast, honey nectar and dew,
But all my friends are still asleep,
Would have to sit and wait,
Together we would sweep,

Bugs Bunny would get carrots for the stew,
Dumbo would fly to get vegetables that are few,
Tiger would bounce and clean the ceilings,
Thumper would listen to every ones  feelings,
Simba would roar to place an order,
Snow White would go to give the fodder,
Sleeping beauty would wake up late,
All day long cry over her fate,
Pooh would hold on tight to his pot,
Harry Potter would cast spells on the lot,
Beauty and the Beast would sit in a corner,
Make plans in Cinderella's honor, 
Alice would shrink to hide,
Jerry would keep an eye far and wide,
Tweety would sing about cheerful songs,
Donald Duck would monitor all the wrong,

The list is too long for the party,
Attend it please,
Dress up like a smarty,
Everything is planned for the day,

Oh! Oh! what should I do?
I am up and about and hungry too,
But all my friends are still asleep,
And my tummy is grumbling too,
Oh! Oh! what should I do?
I long for toast, honey nectar, and dew...

Jugno

Khirki pe dastak hui,
Pucha k kon aya,
Khol k dekha,
To Jugno ko paya,
Ap yahan pe,
Nadani se sawal kiya,
Timtima k kamre me nach uthe,
Aur kaha k tum jo yaad kia,
Luka chupi ka khel humne khela,
Rangoun ko humne khub nikhara,
Kabhi ansoun ko khub bikhera,
Afsoos k raat k bad hota hia sawera,
Jate jate jab mor k dekha,
Ek sawal meri ankhoun mein tha rehta,
Mein ne to awaz na di,
Pher apne kaise ye jana,
To kiya hoa meri shehzadi,
Tum ko dil se apna mana...

Pains That Sleep

Face to Face with the past I am again,

But today everything is in vain,

No tears left,

No signs of sorrow,

No fears emerging,

Not even hands trembling,

Where did it all disappear?

I am not sure,

But deep down within me,

I feel pain taking a turn,

Silently in sleep,

Breathing a sigh,

Of how horrible the time was,

Sending tremors all over,

But nothing devastating occurs now,

I question why?

Does it not hurt anymore?

My guardian angel answer’s,

Memories are not baggage's,

That can be left behind,

But support, love, care, prayers, and ever lasting bonds,

Gave you the strength,

And put your pains to sleep…

Where Do I Exist....???

• all those moments spent with you,
• i remember so well,
• but today i burn i agony,
• no one can wake me up,
• the thorns prick my soul,
• im locked in this case,
• infront of my eyes you built your world,
• decorated it with my dreams,
• but in your world of reality,
• where do i live?
• where do i exist/?
• dont say heart or soul,
• i cant bear it anymore,
• let me go now to the land unknown to all,
• parting time is here as it's fall,
• let the frost wrap me in it's veil,
• hand me over to God's angels,
• thats where i belong,
• thats the end of my song.

PEBBLES

Politics is similar to a bull fight
Standing against them is not a pleasant sight

Wild and ferocious is the wind too
In this game,there is nothing black or white

Far away a whisper is heard
The debate is all about a beard

No one takes us as humans
We are treated like a pack of herd

Deep down I feel an arousal of rebels
Paths are made with joint pebbles

My Comrades!
Time has come for a change
Lets be a part of new fables...

Heart Vs Eyes

Never trust your heart
Its hidden inside your chest
Look at logics
Which you can see
Through your eyes
Dont close them to reality
It wont save you from the PAIN
Which you are destined to face...

Jag Utho

Ab aur roya nai jata
dil ko samjhaya nai jata
bhoke paet sote hain bache
pankha tak chalaya nai jata

Ab khamoshi ka bhi dum ghot raha hai
sabar ka paimana labraiez ho raha hai
bus ek hi sawal hai gardish mein
Qaum me kiya koi jag raha hai

Buzurg hamare so chuke hain
tarikh mein wo gum chuke hainn
zinda pher se humne hona hai
Andheroun mein kafi hum bhatak chuke

Kahein ye waqt bhi nikal na jaei
aur dusara mauka milna pae
najawano utho
ab nahi to kab
hum nahi to kaun

So Many Options

From every other house a funeral is picked
Target killers are for sure tipped

Rivers of blood run from Khyber to Gawader
No one is ready to climb the morals ladder

Flowers are withered
Feelings are molested

Life is turned into a joke
Try laughing

But tears only flow
Everywhere spirits only glow

From childhood uptil today
Saw everyone live this way

No one dares to speak up
Seems all are in a deep sleep
Cant wake up

I wonder how I would die?
A bullet, a bomb, kidnapping, or drone?
So many options

Wonder which would be least painful
Cuz if I survive!
Mind you Ill be revengeful

Iam no ordinary person
Neither I live in a mansion

I have no fear
Allah is always near

Injust is not my cup of tea
Neither I give any under hand fee

Despite of so many options
I would revolt

To be martyred is my dream
Or Iam a Muslim at fault...
Saqii.

Time Is Running Out

I picked up my pen to write my feelings,
Hands could not move tears kept flowing,
Eleven years past of bloodshed and hate,
Now no child believes on his fate,
Torn clothes scattered here and there,
Bleeding hearts and empty stares,
Funerals and processions every where,
No one recognizes anyone here,
A dreadful life it has been,
No human (Islamic Brothers) came to intervene,
Today when we are stripped off our sovereignty too,
Everyone is quite as if there is nothing to do,
Seems as if this land is of the dead,
All what everyone wants is money and bread,
But there is an other reality,
We have to get out of this tranquility,
Only the elite class is fed well,
What about the rest who dwell?
Is respect and Honor nothing to us now?
To Allah 5times a day we bow,
To what good is that brothers?
Arnt we joint together as feathers?
Help each other to get out of this mess,
Unite now or ull lose this game of chess....
Saqii......

SAPNA!!!!!!!!!

Ek dard sa dil me utha hia
khoon ka jaam aj chalka hai
Dur kahien se aah niklii
Arsh aaj pher tarpa hia
Aam si bat lagti hai
Ghairat churahe pe bikti hai
Man na man aye mere dost
Hakekat karwi lagti hai
Inqalab ki bat karte ho
Ayesh o aram se rehte ho
Konsa ghum hai tujhko mere yaar
Bus ghurbat walo se darte ho
Shaheen ka dars dene wale
Ab duniya me na reh...

SUN VS MOON

A Confrontation was witnessed by me
Sun and Moon were out there to be
One fought over it's beauty and grace
The other over it's colour and face
One said i travel with my companions
The other said I produce great champions
One said you heat up the world
The other said in the dark you stole all gold
One said darkness is the name of politics
THe other said heat is a test of morality
One said I can walk over your Day
The other said Alas!
Yet you cant stop HOPE'S way
