Silly Mind

Silly thoughts, silly ideas,

Silly dreams, silly fantasies

Resides in my silly mind

Silly standards, silly principles

Silly ethics, silly expectations

Overpower my silly mind

I cannot use wisdom for myself

I cannot be truthful to my inner self

As I owe my being to my loved ones

So the only thing now left with me,

The only thing I can call mine

Is everything silly, in my silly mind.

The Divine Guiding Light

The godsend light that reaches me

Despite the barrier of distance, straight to me

Illuminating my heart; Lighting up my soul

Dispelling my darkness; purifying me all

I was wandering in the wilderness, dark and deep

So lost was I, no track of direction I could keep

When darkness kept calling me by its deep side

A ray of light shone upon me as my guide

The light with a certain touch of divinity

Bringing me the peace of spirituality

The light, I wish would beam on me forever

As the guiding light of my creative endeavor.

The light that now penetrates inside my core

Assuages and heals the wounds that are sore

Filling the vacuum which existed in my heart

Giving inspirations to move towards a new head start.

Birth of Paradise (A Ghazal In English)

The day when this earth got a piece of paradise

And it brought with itself, the bliss of paradise.

A pleasing fragrance engulfed the earth

As flowers descended from the garden of paradise.

An idyllic ambiance spread everywhere

Refreshing the earth with breeze of paradise.

Luxuriance prevailed all over the landscape

As thirsty land witnessed the rains of paradise.

An unprecedented gaiety filled the air

As earth got blessed with luxuries of paradise.

A unique wave of serenity swished through everywhere

As divine winds brought this earth, the peace of paradise.

Smiles floated in the earth and the sky

With birth of the angel named PARADISE.

Poetic Words (A Ghazal In English)

Though you camouflage your pains in poetic words

I acknowledge your deepest ache in my poetic words.

Though my mind remains completely in disarray

I try my best to reflect your soul through poetic words.

Though happiness eludes me, I do not care

I make sure your sorrows do not elude my poetic words.

Though your mask of happiness hides the truth

There is reflection of your sadness in my poetic words.

Though there are millions of things that could inspire

Somehow I end-up getting inspired by your poetic words.

Though I can’t hear the rhythmic beats of your heart

The luminance of your soul enrich my poetic words.

Though I admit my fascination for your poetic words

I regret you misread innocence of my poetic words.
