The curve of HIS lips, a crescent so perfect!

Nafeesa M.Hussain Mirza
 


Just a glimpse of mine makes people rejoice

Eid dawns upon them, an influx of bliss washes away their blights

Just a glimpse of mine, declares a plethora of celebrations

Masajid packed with gratitude filled faces,

Streets filled with captivating savories.

Faces groomed with smiles and cheers,

Houses echoing joy and laughter.

Just a glimpse of mine bearing a magical impact,

Seldom do they wonder,

What is the secret of my powers?

Little does my hovering in the sky strike them,

What is my pursuit? For what reason do I rise each night?

For a glimpse of the one, who influences my might.

How lucky are those few, each day for them is an Eid,

With a countenance permanent in their hearts,

Of such beauty and excellence,

A thousand moons lay at HIS feet

The curve of HIS lips, a crescent so perfect

A sight of it is Eid personified.

Abstract ecstasy alive in one persona.

I rise every day hoping for such a glimpse,

HIS existence defines joy, HIS presence a constant delight.

HIS name is a savory ever so enticing.

HIS voice a soothing melody.

HIS salaami a festive celebration.

It is no wonder that Eid,

Indeed is HIS being.

Another trip to Hanna Lake ( Our Favorite Pick)

 Another trip to Hanna Lake Zainab Mustaali Sutterwala Darajah Ashera   “Are we there yet?” my grandson, impatiently, inquires the millionth time. “Beta, can you see the house at the top of the hill? We have almost arrived.” his mother consoles him. Yet still, I cannot see. I cannot see our two-storey holiday house. Nor its facade of French windows, for my eyes' current capability is only a shadow of what it used to be during my last visit. My eyes are weak but my sights from long ago help me review the place, as if through a clearer, sharpened lens. Memories from my last trip when I was nine years old.   But I do recall the roller coaster feeling while the car climbs up the steep road which is still there. ”Woah!” exclaims the young boy in awe as our car comes to a halt. I had been as excited as he was- maybe even more. I had jumped out of my car seat in hastiness only to hurt myself on the knees. But thanks to the adrenaline rush, I had forgotten the pain in no ...

Blue and Waves.

Blue and Waves.  Zahabiya Jorbai .   Daraja Tasea - D.Z.       I' ve always found it difficult to find the perfect words to express what truly lies within me. But after journeying through the past two years, I think I have finally found the perfect way, and chance to convey it all.       Art has always been in my nerves since the beginning, experimenting with creative stuff, and luckily being the only daughter, I could easily make my way of getting what I needed ;) . The creative genes I think, came from my mother. She painted ridas and designed them, exposing me to this wonderful talent, and ever since, colors have never failed to fascinate me.      When in school, I always used to participate in art attacks and crave for platforms where I could challenge my creative soul. Then comes the greatest milestone of my life - in the ninth grade, I got fortunate and was blessed to get into Al-Jamea Tus-Saifiyah. I experienced a tran...

A Form of Expression!

 A Form of Expression.   Rukaiya Feroz Rampurawala.  Darajah Sabea. Over the years many people have asked me what my inspiration is behind creating art pieces. To be honest, even as a child, art for me was a way to escape boredom. I, without a doubt, agree with what Robert M Pirsig states "Boredom always precedes a period of great creativity." Although now usually in the haste of life it's not easy to be bored all the time, now doing art for me has genuinely manifested into a pure passion, a form of expression I am so fond of, it completely takes over me. I usually like experimenting with all sorts of mediums and crafts, like clay, sculpture making, pencil sketches, water, and oil paints but my fortè would definitely be an acrylic painting. I adore it. I find that painting with acrylics really compliments my somewhat hasty nature, they dry quickly and give beautiful results in the shortest amount of time, and I personally find them more suitable because they are...
