Love, Simplified ! by Narjis Raza - Pakistan
Real love is not a one-way street,
It is a path where the two hearts meet,
Where idols and idolaters unite,
In a bond that shines so bright.
Love is like a precious plant,
It needs nurturing to enchant,
Without water, it withers away,
Drying up, fading, day by day...

Your presence for days
Nor for hours
Just a sight

With ecstasy and remove-

Solitude! by Ayna Nadeem - Pakistan
The loneliness of my broken heart
When tears drip down falling apart
The Silence where my inner Self is revealed
Of wounds which can never be healed
I open myself merely to my Lord
And tell Him only
what my soul has borne
Dispirited
Disheartened
And desolated...

A Blank Page! by Narjis Raza - Pakistan
A blank page, a newborn's start,
A world of possibility in its heart.
Pure and clean, devoid of strife,
Awaiting the colors that give it life.
Each stroke a chance to create,
A canvas of beauty, an open slate.
A work of art, a masterpiece,
Born from colors that never cease...

Sugarcoated! by Labeeqa Baneen - Pakistan
Sweet, seductive, sugar,
How you tease and tempt,
Your crystalline structure,
So pure and so refined,
You dance upon my tongue,
A symphony of flavors,
Your sweetness so intense,
It’s hard to resist your allure.
From candy to the cakes,
From donuts to the pies,
You bring a smile to my face,
And joy to my eyes...

In Search of Lord! by Aamina Ali - Pakistan
I travelled miles
Nothing found, as yet –
Seas sing your symphonies
Envelope the earth in mysteries
At a breath’s distance, yet soo far
Rightly guiding like a night star
Colours flamboyant you paint
Hell and paradise, you create...

Nature! by Labeeqa Baneen - Pakistan
The rustling leaves in the gentle breeze,
Whisper secrets of nature with ease.
The sunshines down on the stream,
Reflecting the beauty of nature’s dream.
The flowers bloom with color bright,
Filling the air with sweet delight...

Blessed Nights of Solitude! by Asfa Iman - Pakistan
In nights, all alone
Tears stream down my face, for sins I've known
When I chose this Duniya1 over Akhirah2
But now I seek forgiveness from Almighty Allah
Harsh words I've spoken, people I've hurt
Leave my soul feeling heavy, burdened with dirt
For in these nights of Ramadan4, I feel the weight
Of all my mistakes, and the harm, I've created
But deep down I have faith that I can mend
With God's mercy, and love that will never end
For the good deeds and kindness, I've done
Can outweigh the wrongs, and bring back the lost sun...

Abandoned! by Asfa Iman - Pakistan
In the corner sat a tiny cat
Abandoned and alone, no mother at
My heart ached, at her pitiful sight
And I took her in, with delight
I gave her all the love I had
To make up for her mother's bad
But as she grew, I realized so
Her eyes, mirrored a similar glow...

The Fatal Hour by Rukha Khalid - Pakistan
Muse to eyes in witnessing things
Nature girdling me like two wings
Serene tranquility in River that flows
Can turn to calamity upon overflow
The Universe can crush in pulse
With Celestial Audacity from up-above!
For same that chalked out patterns
O' The World full of Captains!...
