A Liberal Artist's Diary

O Heart, just refrain
From
all that is vain
And
only complain
To God
who shall remain
And
know, this calamity shall not be the end
But a
means to get to the furthest end
In
heavens,
where all delights are for God's merciful friends
The One
I see
I see in
darkness
The heart
that is made of light
I see in
this light
The truth
that shine so bright
I see in a
stormy night
The boat
that is on the path alright
I see in
your smile
The pain
that is sealed inside
I see in
the falling tears
The love
that is on my side
I
see in your life
piety that strolls upright
I see in your sight
compassion that storms your heart
I see in
your love
God will
make it Right
I see in
you beloved
God is on
my side
I see in
you at last
God's mercy
so vast
I see in
you my heart
Muhammad,
God will not keep us apart
A Struggling Soul
Like a desert flower away
from sight
Like a frightened child who
screams at night
Like a raging storm with
all it's might
Like a delicate bird
singing from height
Like a meandering river
moving left and right
Like a shooting star high
above so bright
Like a dim lamp struggling
to give light
Like a smile sealing what's
inside
Like a book, read without
any guide
Like a cloud, roaming
mindless of height
Like a secret, held in
one's heart so tight
Like a fire illuminating
others while dying inside
I 'm a struggling soul -
God! will you be my guide?
So
Beautiful! 7/8/06
Each breathe
that I take
Praise be to
my Lord
that He has
made…
Your coming so
beautiful
Mountain tops
that I climbed
Yet so short
of heavens' light
that He has
made…
Your splendor
so beautiful
Tremor within
me that I daily find
Glory be to
the Master for this smile
that He has
made…
Your heart so
beautiful
Storm that
scuttle my existence
Cried this
drowning man, when will this longing end
that He has
made…
Your presence
so beautiful
Supplication
that hurl me ashore
Screamed my
heart, extol the merciful Lord
that He has
made…
Your dua' so
beautiful
