Day 1, Batch 2 Poems Ghareeb Eid Reads by Lilzmalcolm(m): 6:58am On Aug 23, 2018 |
Day 1, batch 2. 8. SOMEDAY- by: Lan Rey Hassan Someday, you will hold your daughter in your palm and cry, looking for answers in the cheerful spark lingering about her eye, -to how many such beauties were buried in an Arabian desert besprinkled with antique dust Someday, you will hear her cry, in the warmth of your embrace telling you of flowers plucked in empty rooms, and you will not ask if flowers have branches that spread into empty rooms, because you remember the girl whose flower you plucked at sixteen in the silence of the night, because her father said her garden was not cultivated yet, too young, to be willed to you. Her sobbing would wrench at your heart, and you will cry thinking of the baby girls buried alive, in an Arabian desert, crying against the pitch of their voices while their fathers laughed, thinking of the girls whose flowers were plucked before they blossomed. Someday, you will watch her smile- Her eyes breaking into a night sky, you will marvel at her beauty, and wish to be by the one who saved beauties like her from being buried alive, -in Jannah, and pray to see the one who-promised revenge for those who were. Quran 81: 8-9"And when the female infant buried alive is asked, " "For what sin was she killed? " . Lan Rey Hassan is a Ghareeb poet and a fellow at Knowislam.com.ng Join him on Facebook.

IT'S ANOTHER EID by: Sulaiman Hassan Ibrahim Alhamdulillahi! It's another Eid, Happy and joyous we are, indeed. Fights and wars here, we do not need, Let the slaves be freed For Islam is a religion of good deeds. At all stops are foods for feed- ing, wives dressed in good beads, To Allah's instructions they heed. Alhamdulillahi, it's another Eid. Islam permits us to breed, We should beget and have kids. Let us place before Allah all our needs, And His instructions we should strictly heed. Let's be passionate and let's not be greed- y, Islam is fast growing and getting geed with activities demonstrating peace.

For the one who wishes her heart could be read and mind could be read. who craves help, ...screaming, in silence. For all those whose trauma cannot be explained. And those whose mouths are too light for the heavy words. Behold the good news, for your wishes have long been granted There is ONE who can read your mind without speaking hate. who understands that your mind works differently who stated that His help is near. While experiencing the trauma, He was right there. And I tell you, you don't need to open your mouth before He knows. Shall I tell you about the one who created your heart? Instilled thought in your mind? Assisted you without expecting returns? Heal your trauma and make you whole again? Listen! Your Lord is never tired to listen, And when you can't speak, Convert your fears to tears. Each and every drop of it. He understands. Say some words of prayer. Empty your affairs into his domain. He perfected the health of Daud Daud persevered and prayed. He saved Yunus from the belly of three fishes. Yunus seek forgiveness and prayed. He granted Muhammad SAW victory. Muhammad was patient and placed his hope in Allaah! Allaah is sovereign, and He only needs to say "Be" and it will be. Aaminah Qaasim- Fellow at Knowislam.com.ng 12. O'ALLAH! ! ! by Abdul kabir Bello O'Allah the one, Myself is surrender to thee, Mould me once again, As thou hath when I am but dust; When I have feelings not. When I can decide not for thee, Nor seek anything of worth nor value, Nor can I chose my driver(mother) Down the narrow path to this dangerous world, Yet, ye have set me upon the right path. O'Allah, I called upon thee, Truly majesty is ye; The beneficent, Merciful, The Lord of mankind, You alone will I worship and, On you will I seek help. Thee that have decided the good for me, When I have no tongue to twist in my precious mouth, Do for me what I seek from ye, From thy Glorious House I seek mercy tonight; Bless me far beyond What I can't imagine; Do my likes and push dislikes, Away far where I can't perceive, Ye that do for me what's good When I can't oblige. Do for me now, The request of which I beg. Moulds me to my *utmost* Satisfaction and to thine 13. Dead, by: Khadeejah Olaleye Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone Silence the piano with muffled drums Bring out the coffins, let the mourners come Let the airplane circle, roaring overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead Put the bows round the white neck of doves Let the guards were black cotton gloves The stars are not wanted now, put out everyone Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun Pour away the oceans and sweep away the woods For nothing now can come to any good Malakul Mawt has done his job All there is left is to sob For he is dead His soul with the HEAD, Allah. Khadeejah Olaleye is a teenage Muslim poet and short story writer from Nigeria. Follow her works on Wattpad @enamored beauty Ghareeb EID poetry |
