A Miracle! by Narjis Raza - Pakistan
Miracle, oh miracle, so rare and divine,
A moment of wonder that makes our hearts shine,
It appears when we least expect it to be,
A gift from the heavens, for all to see.
The magic of life, the wonders of nature,
The beauty of love, the power of nurture,
All around us, these miracles abound,
In the smallest detail, they can be found.
It’s the flutter of wings of a bird in flight,
Or the first ray of sun after a dark, stormy night,
It’s the beating of a heart, against all the odds,
Or the blooming of a flower, breaking through the sods...

Divinity Within Us! by Imama Khawaja - Pakistan
All these forgetful beings
Seeking temporary refuge
In mortal me, mortal you

The power of divinity...

Forbidden Regret by Dirha Qazi - Pakistan
Vision obscured
And a mind of fog,
A faith composed of doubts
And threats,
And a counsel of friends -
Unable to control,
Unable to defend,
The crime,
I later named ‘Regret’.
I remember there were, a few more,
Who contributed, who let
The Macbeth in me drown
And the Hamlet in me take
The most unwise decisions,
The most foul resolves...

An Honest Betrayal ! by Amina Ali - Pakistan
Off he goes to earn bread,
Attached with him a thousand strings-
Of unattended desires,
Oh ! But her dazzling eyes,
For which he lives, for which he dies,
Yet, as time goes,
The youth fades and the glow diminishes,
Though-
If she asks,
He smiles it off...

Unsworn Promise by Dirha Qazi - Pakistan
The sun is offended
Will it rise again?
The darkness illuminates
Is it here to stay?
The last laughter echoed
A hundred years ago,
Will someone laugh
Ever in here again?...

The Wind of Change by Anum Kabir - Pakistan
Did you see the urge in her eyes?
They spoke of imposed quandary
That quizzical air around
Why is she destined to do
what others want her to?
When would she be in that state of
choosing her own ways?...

The First Drop of Rain! by Anum Kabir - Pakistan
Skies gave the sign
Watching over her woes
Surrounding her aura
Hearing out her whisper
Summing up her agony
And sensing her dying courage...

Lahore Canal Bank Road by Sufia Humayun - Pakistan
Sprouting leaves, rustle and stir with the wind,
The swishing wind of May.
That comes like gale at night
Leaving without a trace for the day.
Golden streaks flicker, as the wind betrays,
On the water moving statically
The trees bending on the water in obedience for ages...

Light and Shadow by Nimra Rani Abdul Latif - Pakistan
My promise to you
I will stay with you
In the light, in the shadow
In sadness and deep happiness
I will follow your footsteps
I will always be aside
In the light, In the shadow
I will definitely follow...

My Encounter with God by Dieter Bruhn - United States
This story I tell you
Is truth, no façade,
In a faraway land,
My encounter with God.
I was rafting a river
With rapids so strong,
When I fell in the water
And then things went wrong...
