Woman

Putting pen to paper only for that soul
who shapes society and community as whole.

Are living as sisters, mothers and wives
Some work for living, other sustain loved one lives.

In this grind forgrants her importance of being
A very good quality is the talent of foreseeing.

Working or not, you are special whole
Self improvement is a process not a goal.

Boost up esteem with self education
Or may it be any skill, habit, lets say plantation.

Begin what you like, will help you freshen
sitting idle is the heaviest of oppression.

Overcome the fears to reclaim yourself
Being a masterpiece is discovering oneself.

The Green and White! !

Never knew how the serenity stunned
Some brief conflicts became Armageddon.

I longed for your peace, day's n nights
(Like you) bore many pressures, fought many fights.

Bloomed in you, seen the best n worst
My love for you is an unquenchable thirst.

Felt your pain, were terrorized n tripped
Defended, repulsed, when verbally whipped.

Seen the world, offers things very best
But nothing's comparable to your colors or fests.

Hold on my land, the roaring days are near
Many loyal n patriots, though silent but in sphere.

The Crescent will be shiny and Star more calm
When Green will be tolerant for the White in Pakistan.

Autumn in Mosaic! !

Shreds of red n orange, on base very jade
Spread in the yard, winters on the chase
Tangled all the way, dispersal is its phase
Fall on the way, my autumns in mosaic.

Chills in the wind, blowing in all grace
No warmth in trees, no more cozy shades
Saying bye with a hope, then asks to wait
Fall on the way, my autumns in mosaic.

Same were the days
You by my side and a hint of haze
Lost somewhere, never solved that maze
Fall on the way, my autumns in mosaic.

Come home back to me, you are dearly missed
For world its fall, but my heart's ablaze
Desires so many, like the buds in Mays
Fall on the way, my autumns in mosaic.

An Inevitable Adventure: Change!

A beautiful wonder known as Change
Alters; once green, dispersed in islets
To polished wholes, in garnered violets.

Was always there, will continue to be
For a sage, rare cues are enough
But fool assumes, can resist and bluff.

Whether its a caterpillar to butterfly,
From sand to pearl, or coal to diamond
The change neither stops, nor stuns.

So learn while strolling the path of wisdom
Don't be a frog, thinks no change comes to his well
It's a route brayed by fools, to live life in a shell.

Remember, Change is absolute;
Inevitability, with many struggles and strives.
An adventure for existence, its synonym is Life.

Children

Raising two children, once when reflected
Found myself a changed person, never had suspected

Motherhood transformed me into a new soul
Used to be a Queen, now Guard on patrol

World has changed to a 360 for me
With action more calculated and thrifty you see

Stamina for daily pressures is much high
Got the flair to answer their (children) each n every WHY

High thresholds gave a miraculous productivity
Organizing and taming pressures increased sustainability

Nurturing children develops many skills actually
I'm an idea hamster now, quoting personally

At night view them sleeping, brings a smile to my face
I survived another day, won another race ;)

Good things come to those who Wait

When people get abusive someway
Are spreading hostility and hate
Harness your emotions, control your state
Indulge neither in discussion, nor debate
Leave certain things to God and fate
Good things come to those who wait.

Spiteful words and double meaning talks
Backbiting and spying so difficult to tolerate
On encounters, they always negate
Cash in your patience, better to collate
Time will answer such foul mates
Good things come to those who wait

Patience is a virtue
Some learn, others have innate
Whether it present or future state
Gratification delays makes one Great
Tame your energies, stay steady and sedate
Good things come to those who wait.

My Daughter Snyya

Snyya! my darling, noisy little lark
cheerful and chatty, you want an early morning start,
‘go to sleep hun', I say, ‘its still very dark'.

you came to us, as a memorable gift.
Hamza sensed your absence, playing alone in the park.
How easily you filled that big question mark.

Can still remember, the day you were born
So fair and beautiful, mirroring an angel
Your father was proud and I sublime,
You surley raised our beauty benchmark.

We feel so blessed to have you dear
Your brother, yet another
whose love is hallmark.

I pray for you, and your golden future.
my Rain after dry weather and Sunshine after night's stark
You'll shine like a Star, not just a spark.

Your Troubles Are Making You Strong

One after another
Challenges come, and grab your arm
You ask life, Now whats wrong?
Troubles said: We are making you strong

Living a breezy life
Where no effort tag along
One never realizes what he has
Grasps after struggle short or long
Troubles said: We are making you strong

Remember
When Man helped butterfly in cocoon
Hindered its struggle, made a slit drawn
With swollen body and crippled wings
Would never, but was a destined flown
Troubles said: We were making it strong

Everyone has a talent deeply sown
With no strive, stay hidden and unknown

Bluebird

There is a bluebird sitting in my yard
Singing so gracefully, gives a bright start
Your fine prsesnce in summers and spring
Comely blue plumage, on a branch u cling

Its said u carry sky on back
How a tiny nester can so much take
Its human boastings, I ve always found
playing Ace, or fake braggings around
But dear bluebird, you so humble
Carrying sky, yet never mumble

Sung equal for king and ordinary
Open Sky, alike and same for evrybody
Why can't we find such beautiful beings
Status and ranks these mortals seeing

So dear bluebird! hurry back after winter
Hope it proves to be a sprinter
My query would be the secret for humility

Transcendency

Life at times is just too hard
Tolled by duties, or its obligations that bombard

Responsibilities monotonous, tiring and immense
Breathing feels taxing and environment dense

Days become arduous, nights burdensome
Unpredictability rendering brains numb

But still stand unbowed some Iron men
Solemnity and sincerity to life stays unbent

Hope‘s their weapon, and optimism crown
Life will test, but would never frown

Salaam (salutations) to such spirited beings
Whose forbearance is meriting and patience worth seeing

Smiling and letting the hard knocks pass by
Such dignity and principles, one can't defy
