Rasm o Riwaaj aam hain mohabbat k naam par,
Banay phirtey hain Laila aur Majnu loag yahan

Wo Daair-e-waqt may Karna chahta hain baat,
Wo baat kya jo Daairey may ki jaye?

Translating beloved into verses,
Dissolves poetry and the poet
Metaphors launch mutiny,
Free verses stive to offer resistance
For being be used freely
Beloved is beyond prose and poetry,

Words that earlier auctioned themselves as prostitues,
Veiled themselves in Pheran
As metaphors succumbed to his
charm

His unparalleled innocence held
Captives thieves and murderers,
Poets would never call themselves so,
As they unanimously agreed,
His attributes ascend to heavens during
Translation,

Unmatched for every trait,
Universal for every word.

Feelings dissent with each breath,
Who is there in my chest?

PROBLEM

Eyes drunk with infidelity,
can't negotiate for resistance
Well, collaboration is a problem.

Muslims romancing other cultures,
Served, what suited them,
Well, westernism was a problem.

Blasphemy no longer a problem,
Found numerous highways to God
Well, Liberalism has been a problem.

Western ideas served to people like 'wazwaan,'
Registered in ranks for the feast
Well, Feminism was, has, and is a problem.

If saving you, to you, is tyranny,
May I ever remain a tyrant.

Ek aisi shaam wo shakhs kargaya,
Jiski subah hazar suraj milkar b na karsake

-

She was like snow,
Festooned, and, then made me chaste.

Prophet Muhammad (saw),

A poet who spoke prose,
So that I understand.

Renaissance
How beautiful is it to witness,
How faith slowly eases the parallel lines
Upon my forehead
and reveals calmess to my mind

Pessimism is dying a slow death
Optimism is my new caliph
set to extend its boundaries
Form a just and balanced state,
That's how I was supposed to live

The glamour attached to the
army of my infidel thoughts,
Had to succumb!
And surrender to the truthfulness
of your call,
I was supposed to hear before

I would win you with my originality
With whatever I write,
But my pen, from now would only
write what I have ever longed to

Not for affirming that I am different
or for mere likes of social media
But for my own self!
That's what should happen
and that's what I'll be doing.
