Meant to inspire and make us think, these poems are about our relationship with Almighty Allah, our human inconsistencies and our attempts to make sense of what happens in this world.

Precious life is wasted and this beautiful world is being slowly poisoned. Many little children grow up in ignorance or in fear and are often being taught not to care. In all the talk of economic development, growing cities, higher standards of living - I still see the spiritual poverty, the broken hearts and instability of human beings, whose fundamental needs are no longer met. How many people are caught in the web of the new age and in their ignorance, too often do not know how to live in peace?
 
There is no beauty without truth, and no goodness without sacrifice.

Threads of Dawn
The call to prayer (adhan) is a part of the life of a Muslim. Even if one forgets it's time to pray, one is reminded in a gentle, peaceful way that the way to success and peace is in one's hand.
A piece of Flesh
The relation between the body and the spirit is explored as one grows older in this poem. The effect of the mind over the body; urging it to keep going when all looks lost. The significance of our actions and the record that we will one day receive of the deeds we have sent forth.
A Prayer for my Friend
This is a poem that was written for a dear friend of mine, who has just  left to go to a faraway place.
When I was young
Life is so short but contains so much of experience and perception. Wisdom comes with age and the life's lessons learned well. When we look back on our lives, what will we see??
