As He wills


finally.. after a time
two lonely tears
broke free from my eyes
i'd been sitting in a gathering
people laughing and chatting
I remember someone had spoken to me
from the other side of the room
but i wasn't really there
for in that moment in time
my gaze had frozen upon the wall
i wasn't looking at anything
for my eyes had turned to stone
it was you I was thinking
and you I was seeing
a memory had gripped my heart
its cruel fingers clenching hard
until two lonely tears
had escaped my eyes
it had been an age since i'd cried
and still as a statue i stayed
the company, the atmosphere
never took my attention
if anything...
it only heightened your absence
made me miss you more
memories... memories
thank you for leaving those
a distant voice of long ago
echoes through my mind
forever... forever you will live
in a secret place inside
but... but...
this loss i have accepted
as being the will of God
for I know Allah knows best
the Guardian of my heart

:cry:

Forever


on a fragranced path, through the trees
she runs barefooted like the breeze
delicate pink blossom crush underfoot
softening the sound of the owl's hoot


petals whip up by the silken garb
fingers tighten on her precious hijab
on and on she runs toward the dazzling light
where love would be requited forever tonight


and there beside the shimmering lake
she sees the place where he had prayed
her loving gaze caresses the mark of sujood
where the pleasure of Allah he had pursued


he'd died before she'd become his bride
on their wedding day, he was shrouded in white
no final words, no goodbyes, no nothing
just earth preparing herself for his coming


she knows he'd have wanted her to be strong
to accept what Allah had willed and do no wrong
soft sobs break the still air and she cries
O Allah let us be together in Paradise!


she stands to go.. a determined look upon her face
not noticing her heart has started to race
suddenly she sinks to the ground, so cold and bare
a ghostly mist of breath escapes into the still air





(p.s. jus made minor changes but left interpretation open inshaAllah)







*gulp* :X:cry:

:O:O:O! OMG. mashAllah sis, so beautiful..ive read ur first one but the second! omg. lovely.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ i must agree to the comment above!

*nods head*

[Re.TiReD]

I.....is lost for words

Seriously, the images were....Rabeee! I just loved it sis...if you had entered the poetry contest you wudda won hands down :ooh: please stay tuned for the next contest insha'Allah

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

:sl:

Very deep poems with such excellent imagery! I wanted to pick out which part of the poems I thought were deepest..but I couldn't because all of it is just so profound. Just have to say, please continue to write more and share with us.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ bro you have no idea how many times i read that second poem


it is soooo amazingly beyond words.... i feel like printing it out and adding it in a private collection in which it may remain the only poem for a long time due to its level of depth :|


hmm i still might though :)

[Snowflake]

lololol omg guys.. im chuffed, shy, shocked all at once lol tnx for liking :-[:D

btw, is it obvious that the girl in the second poem dies? :?

[Snowflake]

subhanAllah, i just noticed the new replies.. thank you so much everyone. I will def continue to write inshaAllah :)

bro you have no idea how many times i read that second poem

mashaAllah lol.. and i feel ashamed to admit that i've been doing it to.. lol thats sad

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ no its not that obvious lol, but its an interpretation

or you can interpret that she just fell down :-[

[Re.TiReD]

btw, is it obvious that the girl in the second poem dies? :?

No, but maybe thats because I'm just slow :hiding: :-[

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

btw, is it obvious that the girl in the second poem dies? :?

I think that's whats awesome about the poem..it means something different to everyone, everyone gets it in a different way..i.e. I interpreted..and it was something different..and others would probably be different as well.

Makes it very enjoyable to read if it's like that because each time you read you interpret it differently :thumbs_up

[Snowflake]

oh no! lol

she has to die :skeleton: :BeRightBack: lol

and bro Hakim plz feel free to add to your collection inshaAllah

[IbnAbdulHakim]

and bro Hakim plz feel free to add to your collection inshaAllah

i feel like printing it out and adding it in a private collection in which it may remain the only poem for a long time due to its level of depth

i dont have any other poems yet sis

i have my own personal collection but im considering starting one of the masterpieces from LI's members.


so far you and abu sayyad have taken my breath away with your poetry

jazaKAllah khair to you both

[Snowflake]

that's a good point too mashaAllah... it's just that I pictured everything so vividly, including her death, so it not being obvious to the reader is bothering me a bit. But, I will give it a little longer and see how I feel.

shukran bro

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ well sis you could alter it a little but i found the way it ended good enough as it is


but upto you inshaAllaah

Regret

beauty of all shapes, color and size
what hadn't he looked at with those eyes?
until a veil of blindness had descended
his days of transgression suddenly ended


now his eyes are dead to the sinful gaze
his mind begins to clear of evil's haze
he'd tasted the pleasure of forbidden fruit
yet his soul remained famished in dispute


"why?" he repeats, "Do I feel empty inside?"
until the answer comes in a blessed disguise
the distant sound of Qur'anic recitation
he knows what he must do without hesitation


as now in the sundown of his life
when self-denial is no longer rife
he clearly sees what he's left behind
and wonders how he could've been so blind?


he remembers in the spare room.. a dusty nook
something priceless lies in the shape of a book
not once he'd glanced at a single page
but had left it there to yellow with age


a desperate hunger begins to fill his soul
the recitation is getting louder nextdoor
gripping his stick he reaches the spare room
sending things flying in its murky gloom


and soon.. his hand settles upon the dusty Book
a sob explodes in his chest, oh how long it took!
his heart soars as he opens its pages
like million birds let out of their cages


repentance mists over sad eyes with tears
"will Allah ever forgive me - since death nears?"
and as if something is telling him to keep listening...
he hears.."And Seek forgiveness of Allah;surely Allah is Forgiving.." (73:20)


willing his eyes to see, just for a few seconds
to see Allah's Words, His gift of Guidence
in hope of forgiveness he raises his hands
as tears splash onto the Holy Qur'an

OMG!!! This made me almost cry :( SubhanAllah so heartfelt and true!! MashaAllah sis <3

[Snowflake]

((((awww sis mashaAllah)))) jazakAllahu khayr :)

[Na7lah]

mashallah i loooooved the second and last one
clearly you'r really talented mashallah!!!!!!

jazakallah khair sis :D

[Snowflake]

ty muslimah sis

:D:-[ < i wanna merge these into one, cuz that's how your comment made me feel lol! :p

[Ayesha Rana]

Awwww Masha'Allah, ur poetry is beautiful. I love writing poetry to catch phases in my life but i'm not so brave to share cos i feel safer if it's inside me lol if that means anything at all^^!

Jazakillah khairun for sharing

[Snowflake]

wa iyyaki, thank you for liking. I believe everyone has the potential as we all possess emotions and an imagination. It just takes different things to trigger it off in us. If that makes sense :p

[IbnAbdulHakim]

hmm...

i dunno maybe forever was a bit too good because i didnt feel the last one much at all

though the vocabulary was really good


a bit of criticism is good :D

[Snowflake]

^lol! that's cool bro. it depends what we can relate to as well.

p.s. criticism is welcome! :p

[Snowflake]

btw, was it obvious he is blind? LOL!

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ i read it again and i felt it a bit more :ooh:

but no its not obvious lol, after your comment i read it again and i felt it even more :-[

mashaAllaah :)

[Snowflake]

lol *goes googly eyes* :rollseyes i thought the first bit explained his blindness well

that's it im gonna make things really obvious next time :exhausted

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ or maybe we're just really dense ;D

[Snowflake]

^maybe! :laugh:

*runs*

[Re.TiReD]

Your other two poems captured me from the start, this only got me from the second stanza onwards. I really liked it though. It was *shiver-factor* lol Masha'Allah.

[Snowflake]

awww tnx sis & also for your honesty :D

i can always improve it inshaAllah and im happy cuz i just found out what a stanza is lol ;D :-[

[DaNgErOuS MiNdS]

Im not really a poem person but i like these, i think i might pay more attention to poetry.

[Snowflake]

ah! now that's an incentive for me to keep writing inshaAllah!

[Re.TiReD]

awww tnx sis & also for your honesty :D

i can always improve it inshaAllah and im happy cuz i just found out what a stanza is lol ;D :-[

BarakAllah feeki :)

I would never edit any of my poems, the words that flow first are the best and most sincere ones in my opinion, just use any criticism you may get for future poems insha'Allah

[Snowflake]

I chop and change until I am satisfied. The problem is my imagination runs riot and I have so much to write but that isnt possible, hence lots of editing and unfortunately that means sometimes losing the original structure.

having said that I'm off to do edit the third poem :BeRightBack:

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

:sl:

^ Don't edit!! It's great the way it is because that's how you thought it out and that gives it a uniqueness. It's your words, they express what you feel and think..cutting and chopping will make it loose that.

I read the third poem, and it was great. I thought of blindness, spiritual blindness though, not physical.

[Snowflake]

Untitled


a silhoutte against the gleaming moon
she stands by a window, in her room
her fingers touch the cold glasspane
tracing rivulets of pouring rain


he said he'd come home tonight
they hadn't argued, there'd been no fight
but no harm had come to him she knew
he was with a new wife and baby too


an emptiness aches inside her barren womb
where no flower now, would ever bloom
motherhood cruelly snatched by a final miscarriage
she'd lowered the drawbridge for a second marriage


he'd promised to fulfil her rights that day
pledged to treat them equally come what may
yet tonight, like so many nights before
she only imagines him coming through the door


she wonders if the moon can see her misery
his light is reflecting much too fiercely
illuminating the delicate contours of her face
her solemn beauty, so dignified with grace


dark eyes glitter with defeated tears
she knows he wont come as dawntime nears
with a hopeful heart she prepares for salah
donning perfumed garments for a meeting with Allah


nearby, a candle and breeze enjoy a flickering dance
when a sudden gust of wind threatens to end their romance
a remorseful husband stands watching from the door
the epitome of forgiveness, in sujood on the floor


:sl:

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

mashaAllah. so beautiful!!!! I WISH I COULD RIGHT LIKE THAT! lol

[Snowflake]

jazakillah khayr sis : ))

btw, i'd love to see your poems :D

[IbnAbdulHakim]

wow... sis that topped the second one... i didnt think it possible :uuh: subhanAllaah PUBLISH IT ! you simply must !


btw before you ask if anything is clear :p, she had an abortion and womb got taken out so she cant get preg anymore, he married again by her consent, she awaited him but he took so long she began to wonder if he's ever coming or staying with the other wife, she decides to pray (mashAllah) as she makes sujood she passes away and her husband finds her to his dismay


mashaAllah amazing !

[Re.TiReD]

Wow.

That blew me away.

Isnt a woman an epitome of forgiveness when it comes to her husband and the one she loves anyway? (Thats rhetorical) Such a beautiful soul...

SubhanAllah

[Snowflake]

mashaAllah amazing !

lol mashaAllah Mz bro. Actually her womb is intact (i.e. barren womb) but due to some complication of miscarriage (not abortion) she is unable to have more children. You've got the next bit right. She actually suggests he marries again (she'd lowered the drawbridge for a second marriage). Her husband promises that he'll treat them both the same, but loses himself in his new wife and child. He keeps promising dates when he will return but fails to come. Then that day, realising how badly he's behaved, he comes home to find her in sujood. She isn't dead though! LOL! She is in so much anguish that she didn't hear him coming in.

Your interpretation had me laughing for ages! JazakAllahu khayr for liking it bro.

Wow.

That blew me away.

SubhanAllah

Absolutely! A woman has so much love to give. But it's when love is fuelled by piety out of love and fear of Allah, that it can be very forgiving and patient and thus survive the cruellest tests of time.

Jazakillah Khayr for appreciating it. : ))

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

:sl:

I really love how you describe everything. Her surroundings, her past, and her feelings and your use of imagery is awesome!

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

[Snowflake]

aw jazakillah khayr ukhti! Br. Mz suggested that too. I totally don't have a clue how to go about it though.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

[Snowflake]

~My Beloved~


Your voice filled the room, strong and clear
You was talking about Islam, your tone sincere
You related Hadiths and taught what you knew
Oh how I wanted to be like you!


You seemed to think, breathe and live for Islam
Seeking the pleasure of Allah, your only plan
How you benefitted the Ummah, for Allah's sake
I marvelled at the blessings you would rake


And like rain drops constantly falling upon a rock
I felt the trickle of emotions that didn't stop
Time fanned the flames of respect and admiration
Giving birth to a love beyond my imagination


Oh! If only you knew how I chided myself!
Months of torture followed as I scolded myself
I wasn't good enough for you, on this I'd dwell
But my love was sincere, so only time would tell


And though your love was like a thorn in my side
My feelings from you, I continued to hide
My heart shuddered yet I'd seal my lips for duaa
But how could I hide my longing from Allah?


Then came the day The Merciful and Kind, answered my plea
For The Turner of hearts, turned your heart to me
How you worried this feeling was a trick of shaytan
You went away seeking refuge in The Holy Qur'an


But my beloved, you realised your feelings were pure
You were amazed by what you felt but you knew it was true
Allah had placed love in your heart for me
Alhumdulillah! That day you proposed marriage to me


Of course I accepted! What more could I want?
A servant of Allah who has the beauty of imaan..
And so we wait for the day Allah will unite us
I pray The Merciful will never ever part us


My beloved, I pray to Allah for Paradise for you
Success in both Worlds, in my daily duaa for you
I pray in both lives, Allah blesses our union (ameen)
My love, I couldn't have wished for a better companion!



Alhumdulillahi Ya Rabbil Alamiin!

[Cabdullahi]

wow the smell of jannah is not messing around!!

good poems! mashallah

[HopeFul]

lol wow! thanks for nice compliment bro. I love the donations idea mashaAllah, tnx!

[Snowflake]

Believe me when I say....


My beloved husband lie peacefully and rest
lay your weary head upon my lap
Let the day's stresses melt away
But before you sleep I have something to say


I don't want you to worry about money
What don't we have for this life's journey?
So what if our car is old and rusty?
It gets us from A to B, doesn't it?

Our carpet is threadbare, our sofa has sagged
But look what a wonderful husband I've bagged! ;)
Our wall-paper has faded and peeled away
But our smiles lift the gloom away


Why do you feel bad, when your friends buy
Gold for their wives, their kids the latest toy?
You are my adornment, I don't need gold
More than toys, our kids love playing with you tenfold!


When you overheard my friends talking about clothes
A look of guilt shadowed your face and stole
The smile that is more precious to me than wealth
Truly my treasures are your soundness and health


So please, don't feel sad, for enough have we
Are you still listening or have you fallen asleep? <lol couldnt resist that!
Allah has made me your garment and you mine
You conceal my faults better than all the silk fine


My friends houses are filled but still they moan
Because in some ways, their husbands' let them down
But you have never given me a reason to complain
You've shielded me always, from all kinds of pain


In fact, I really love our life of simplicity
A reminder of how our Prophet (saw) lived humbly
What's more my beloved, is that everything will perish
We already have what we really should cherish


Each other, our children and food on the table
A marriage full of love, happy and stable
Every day with you and our kids is a celebration
Wallahi! With you I could live like a bedouin!


So no more guilt and sadness about our situation
No more pressure and self-condemnation
I'm more than happy in my life with you
Allah is my witness, what I have said is true


No more 12 hours shifts - tomorrow come home early
I miss us reciting Quran together so sourly
We will take the children out to the park
We'll race with them and have a good laugh


I hope my dear husband, your heart feels at ease
I will spend from what you earn and still be pleased
Now sleep my beloved with peace in your heart
And I will wake you for Fajr, to a new start..




alhumdulillah

[Tony]

ooo, i see :)
you know, this is quite an interesting thread...it seems that each of the poems in it reflect and are "centered" around a particular chapter in your life...from the first one (or maybe it was the second) to the last one, each poem seems to be a "step" progressing forward, reflecting and revolving around this particular chapter of your life which i don't know what it is exactly but have a feeling of what it might be lol

alhumdulillah finally!! That mustve took week i think :phew :-[



From The Palette of Time
(In memory of the Shuhadah)

Frenzied strokes of imagination, paint vivid pictures in my mind
Bright and bold images, blending from the Palette of Time
Depictions of Battles - of swords flashing in the sun
The sweetest hues of anticipation of martyrdom to come.


Pride shades the sorrow on my face as I imagine the scene
When earth was coloured crimson for the sake of the true deen
Is that glow from the sun or the colour of a martyr's blood
Or a rainbow of love and sacrifice, in Islamic brotherhood


And high from the battlefield, rises a crescendo of yells of pain
A Mujahid strikes for the sake of Allah, a Kafir for worldly gain
For women, wealth and status, thus fools for earthly treasures!
Grieved will you be on the Day, for with you died your pleasures!


Ruby strokes bleed sorrow and anger at the Battle of Uhud
When the cursed Abdullah bin Shahaab, broke my Prophet's tooth!
How I wish my tears could fall at the feet of those - in gratitude
Who fiercely fought to defend the Prophet, until martyrdom ensued


O Mothers' of Martyrs silently weeping, how do I paint your heart?
For truly the colour of patience in grief, a picture can never impart
I cannot paint in my mind, their souls in the green birds of Heaven
But know your beloved sons forever, in Allah's shade were taken


One day, I'll let my mind paint again, pictures of Islamic history
The unimaginable stories of sacrifice, the moments of defeat and victory
O Allah, grant us martyrdom - the faithful believers of your Beloved's Ummah
And make us leave like those before – unforgotten examples of Shahadah.

Untitled


Oh those rebellious tresses of hair like silk!
Clinging to feverish skin against their will
Ensnared by rivers of hot fiery tears
Sparkling on her lashes in starry spears


She wants to run, but her soul is restrained
Run across oceans and mountainous terrains
Past glowing horizons of sunrise and sundowns
Under shimmering skies and darkening clouds


Past sleepy valleys and bubbling brooks
Over ferns and heather and furrowed nooks
Through the atmosphere, in dream-like flight
Lucent shades of love, fill her soul tonite


Tonite her soul wants to fly with his
Past stars and planets in celestial bliss
Playing hide-n-seek amongst the stars
Oh, the innocent encounters of loving hearts!


Two souls, kissed by a burst of star dust
Pearlescent within the dark of the Universe
Curling and whirling, unfurling and twirling
Like dove-white feathers on breezes swirling


Of marriage they had long dreamed together
For lovers, the Prophet said,"There's nothing better.."
But time had divulged its secrets of late
That marriage was yet, not in their fate


Though love had given her the strength to endure
His absence at times, tortures her anew
She knows tears are best that are spent in duaa
In humility she stands in Tahajjud before Allah


And as the ache in her heart gently subsides
And on her breath, a prayer for him resides
She knows fanciful flights, love will oft seek
But it's in the rememberance of Allah that hearts find peace
