The Last Evening of July

Ismail Haniyeh passed away today. So this is not an ordinary day. He was the voice of oppressed. May Allah bless him highest ranks in Jannah.

Sun is about to set behind the majestic mountainsThe vibes of my hometown beaming as a maiden .Clouds cover the eastern ranges And the flight of returning birds is brazen.This day was not an ordinary oneIt made a land left without a baron.The bugle of Kakul is blowing Reinforcing the masses' lesion.The sand of time is running wildHow I wish it halts, and command it frozen.

December Days

The wheel of time refuse to pauseAnd no eascape from life’s claws.Another year is about to concludeMy struggles in the kiln of time accolade. The soul aches to retreatThe mind denied the plead.As the crisp air chills the bonesThe warmth of sun mends the soul.

My Hometown Abbottobad

For me Abbottobad valley is heaven on Earth.

Abbottabad, a town of lush green hills, Where the air is fresh and the view, surreal. The misty mornings and the starry nights, Bring peace and serenity to our lives. Nestled in the lap of the mighty Himalayas, Abbottabad, a place that never betrays. A land of ancient history and rich culture, A blend of modernity and traditions that nurture. From Ilyasi Mosque to the famous Shimla…

Memos

I am reading a book titled “Untamed”. There I came across the following lines which are so relevant to me and people around me. In order to keep the essence, in most places, I am quoting the text as it is in the book and giving full acknowledgement to Glennon Doyle. In every generation, parenting had different goals and receives a memo of parenthood. Now the goal of parenting is: Never allow…

The three books that inspired me to become an avid reader.

I suspect the truth is that we are waiting, all of us, against insurmountable odds, for something extraordinary to happen to us.

Books, My Glorious Books ♥️📚

You are my bliss of solitude Your pages are my fortitude

I turn to you no matter what Happy, sad, sane or nut

You take me to all the places No limit of time or spaces

Breaking the chains of taboo Sparkling words like morning dew

Imparting wisdom like sage Spreading light from each page

My love for you is laborious to express Owing you all is sheer bestowed bless

A Bomb Named Global Warming

The time bomb of global warming is ticking fast.

Global warming has become a buzzword recently. Every news source, conventional or online, is constantly reporting on the issue. The scientists, however, have been warning the humans about the global warming for more than 3 decades. But we didn’t took the matter seriously until we have seen it with our own eyes. All human activity has an impact on…

Religious Laureate

I have always acted as if I know everything about my religion (Islam). I never hesitated to give my opinion in any religious matter. Sometimes when I sit back and think, I feel guilty as I know very less about Islam, but this guilt flies away soon.

I have identified this weakness in most of the children and adults I know. The reason could be traced back to the time when parents present their kids…

Alpha Female Women are not the weak, frail little flowers that they are advertised.  There has never been anything invented yet, including war, that a man would enter into, that a woman wouldn't, too.

Selfish! Who? Me?

How unthankful I become sometimes. I have been bestowed by Almighty ALLAH with every blessing but I am always complaining.

I felt extreme hate for myself when I saw this kid lying under the naked sky. This kid is one of the thousands effected by the floods in Pakistan in the summer of 2012. The sadness in the eyes of this kid is truly heart wrenching.

I don’t know how I sleep peacefully in my…

Refugee Neighbors

These afghan refugee neighbors of mine have lived for almost two decades in a small shabby tent on a piece of land whose owner takes a monthly rent from them. Two generations of this family have born and grew up here. And today they are leaving for good and going back to Afghanistan because Pakistan government has given a deadline to Afghan refugees to evacuate the country.

I am amazed by the…

Democracy- Step Child of Pakistanis

Democracy… while it lasts is bloodier than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide. ~John Adams

While discussing the day by day worsening political and economic condition of the country with my father it occurred to me that what good this democracy did to the common…

Dare I Born

There are more or less 180 million people dwelling in Pakistan. Pakistani parents are very much concerned about their children. Rich or poor they want their children to be the best and wish for all the comforts and luxury for their kids. Another remarkable trait of Pakistani parents is that they are very fond of kids as it is evident from large family size most of the Pakistanis have.
