THE BRIDGE

Relationships! by Narjis Raza - Pakistan

Relationships are like the summer sun,

Warm and bright, but not always fun,

For sometimes a gust of cool breeze,

Can take away the warmth with ease.

 

They can provide complete support,

But at times leave you without a fort,

Lighting up the darkest of nights,

But blurring the days with their might...

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...

Just a Favour! by rabana akhtar - Pakistan

I do not demand

Your presence for days

Nor for hours

Just a sight

Bless my eyes

With your smile

Fill me,

With ecstasy and remove-

The pain...

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 Amina 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...
