This year is passing so fast!
Why time is flying?
Will the span
of the earth's life
terminate
soon?
This is November!
Can you believe it?!
This year has been
dull and devoid of variety
Farah Taskin Mar 1
Hats off to you

There lived someone like him on planet earth

May Allah accept him as a martyr and grant him eternal peace
Farah Taskin Jul 2022
miraculously
surprises come
otherwise
you'll experience
dullness

you have gloom and glow
the tides have the ebb and flow
lives have joys and sorrows

what,when,where and how-
you never know!
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
she's a flower
he's dew
she's a dewy flower
just as
diamonds
on the soft
velvet
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
If you want successes
Ceteris Paribus
Surely
you'll get successes
Do it at once
Idleness enfeebles
progress
Stopping means
decease
Speed means
vigour
Enjoyments are
truly
fun
And vice versa
Duties should be quickly
done
Kinetic energy
produces
the sinews
Otiosity
should be
shunned
Set a goal and don't sit idle :)
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
love jingled
agony tingled
blue and grey mingled
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
The souvenirs
beckon
nostalgia
I wistfully hark
back
to  the blue mountains
the blue moon
the cinematic
landscape
the coastline
the dense
wilderness
and so on
The obsession
hasn't
been
lost
yet
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
I experienced the vicissitudes of Asia
Blue blood of Europe
The aboriginality of Africa
And the mysteries of America


I soaked my feet in the water of  the nameless rivers
I moistened by the waves of bays, the seas and the oceans
The sapphire of the blue Nile won my heart
I splashed the cold waters of the Mare Darling on my face
I was astounded to see the orange river,the lake Titicaca, Victoria and Niagara falls


I saw the radiance of the icy Himalaya in the bright sunlight
I was completely spellbound by the splendour of the Olympus and the Kilimanjaro


During the day in a desert my feet got burnt by the heat of the sand
I stared at a handsome horseman
dressed in black in a wonderful starry night


I glanced at the seven wonders and the world heritage
I was hypnotized by the skyscrapers in the mega city
The tidy countrysides which were green with crops and vegetation brought peace to my mind


I enjoyed the companionship of Eskimos,penguins ,seals and polar bears in the polar region


Aurora borealis and aurora australis fascinated me


In orbit the annual motion
around the sun
and the diurnal rotation of the earth on its axis
I'm travelling around the world


I do not have my own home
The whole globe is my motherland
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
It's 12 Rabi Ul Awwal
This day is uniquely special

He(PBUH)
came with light
to guide
and
went
to the Supreme Being
on the same date

He (PBUH)
lives
in our hearts

It's another Eid
Let's rejoice
at this
Happy Birthday Ya Rasulullah(SAW)♡
Farah Taskin Nov 2021
I feel alone inside
a stream of people
my presence
is merely
insignificant
my existence
doesn't
really
matter
I deeply
realize
the cruelty
of the reality
I feel a sudden dart of anguish
Farah Taskin May 2021
The Gaza Strip-
The visible symbol of sadness
In this place
The lives of children are valueless
The lives of humans are valueless
Tears are useless
How worthless
Human life is!
Again and again
Bomb explosions
A gloomy sky
Those who feel for others
Those who believe in humanity
Are depressed dreadfully.
Save children,save humans
Farah Taskin Jun 2022
I was greeted by
unearthly
midnight
or stellar light

I'm hypnotized by
the evening clouds

I espy
the busy
passers-by
or the silly
vagabonds

The round
earth doesn't pause
Proxima Centauri
doesn't pause
Ursa Major
doesn't pause

Colours change
The game
continues

I close my
eyes
This is how I can perceive
the sound
of silence
This is how I meet myself
I'm neither
a nihilist
nor
a hedonist
I'm simply
a monotheist

A gust
of wind blusters
My gossamer
scarf flutters

I open my inquisitive
eyes
I discover the mysterious
scene
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
The day of the formation
and the destruction
of the earth
An eventful day
The desolate plain
of Karbala
and the grey waters
of the Euphrates
remain
unforgettable
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
in the absence
of
the beloved
Switzerland
feels like
the Kalahari
the Sahara
or the Mojave
desert
and
heaven
becomes
hell
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
I never said adieu
In preference
I'd as lief say
au revoir
Farah Taskin Nov 2021
One day
The rare orchid flowers will bloom
There will be no gloom
There will be a whiff
of
the French perfume


Then
He'll love her like
a loving bridegroom.
Farah Taskin Sep 2021
Insomnia possesses
me
at night
I feel the
absence
of worldly
passion
Lolling
in
the
west balcony
I ween
the sanguine
sun
shouldn't set
The zephyr touches
and consoles
me
Farah Taskin Jul 2021
Everyone has unhappiness
A paroxysm of distress
Humans want to cover their unhappiness
Beyond joviality
Beyond laughter
Beyond music
Behind the roistering jubilation
We suppress our sadness
Underneath our liveliness we're stoic
Our hearts don't love sadnesses
We try  to laugh now and again
We ought to laugh for living
We ought to live for laughing
sigh ...
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
Being a woman
is a wonderful experience
It feels
as though
being a rosy rose
in the nicely perfumed garden

A woman's power
is her
patience
A woman's passion
is her compassion
A woman's strength
is her kindness
A woman's beauty
is her decency
Cruelty
is not for women


A woman loves to be
loyal,loving
and caring

By nature
women are
poetically
romantic
Being a woman means a lot to me...
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
The albatrosses proudly
fly
There is the silence
There is seclusion
in the tranquil ocean
There is placidity
in that paradise
Farah Taskin Dec 2023
SEE, how in their eyes nightmares
live
how in their minds frustration builds the nest
in their misfortunes, life can't unfold its wings
Farah Taskin Apr 13
The news was new, surprising,
as well as not boring
The flying carpet came with the magic lamp

My town has altered
Sometimes I can't recognise it
Selfishness seems to me
like the darkness of the abyss

Genies ring the doorbell
ding ding ding ding ding

I ask myself, what's  wrong?
Finally I sang a sad song.
Farah Taskin May 2023
a cluster of cloudlets coruscates

silver cloudlets wing across the cobalt firmament

I watch with amazement

they're as delicate as unclad cygnets

they're as transparent as crystal clear water

they're as pure as snowdrop buds

they're as bright as the Hesper


I wish I were a cloudlet~
Farah Taskin May 2022
Light dims
They doze
They have to be wide awake

The poems of life are sui generis
She wanted to bloom like a happy chrysanthemum
She didn't find happenstance
She's forgotten fascinating covetousness


Miscalculation happens
They're between Scylla and Charybdis
An infernal situation
Barbarism grows up in this so-called civilization
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
I traverse
I stumble
I fall
I don't stop
I have nothing
but dreams
Farah Taskin May 2022
Be the cold permafrost
When you get despondent

Be a deep blue ocean
When you feel absolutely alone

Be a flying bee
When you're actually happy!

Be a sweet dove
When you are in true love!
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
You're the heady perfume of a bunch of tuberoses
I'm intensely fond of you
You murmur into the silky breeze
I hear your name in the sweet note of a cuckoo


The symbol of immorality-
the polar star is devoted to you
My life without you
is meaningless
through and through.
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
Ah!
How disastrous circumstances of the bluish-green planet
Air pollution,sound pollution,water pollution and the ozone hole
The entire environment has been clogged into garbage
The innocent animals are being killed
The nice birds are being confined
The trees are being cruelly cut off
The ecosystem is being gradually destroyed
Knowing death is unavoidable
Sins are being committed
How can they do these?


At the same time
We're too good
Our planet is ***** and span
Sins don't touch us
We love us all dearly
It's fortunate that we were not born in the earth
We love our orderly planet more than our life.
Farah Taskin May 2022
Eid's
moon
seems
like
a slice
of grilled
pineapple
with  
cinnamon
The charming
crescent
is a sight
for
sore
eyes
The mellifluous
wind
hums
The bottle
green
leaves
dance
with
rapture
The
wondrous
day opens
the door
of dreams!
Farah Taskin Jul 2021
The heady perfume of the
Arabian Attars
is
in the air!
A lunar litter
brings Eid
Antimony sulphide
of the downcast eyes
and the pinkish nails
have been painted with henna


Eid is a glorious gift
Bliss is blossoming
The blessings are blooming


The fragrant roses
and the white jasmines
are being elated by
a joyous colour
of the festivity
The nameless
nightingales
are singing the paeans
We're being showered
with Salams
Eid Mubaraks
are echoing
The cheerful children
are being
over the moon
Eid is marvellously nice
and we sacrifice.
Eid has been delightful since my childhood:)
Farah Taskin Apr 2023
I was eagerly
waiting for Eid
I felt
happy
looking at
the crescent
moon
Felicity! Felicity!
And Felicity!
Majestic Eid
is the magical
festival
Beautiful morning!
Beautiful noon!
Beautiful evening!
And Beautiful night!
The cosmos has been flooded
with festive light!
Farah Taskin Jun 2021
Her mind is deeper than the
          Mariana Trench
     And more infinite than
               Outer space
     Even she doesn't know
           The mysteries
            Of her heart
Her heart is the eighth wonder!
              In her thought
       She's an astronaut or a
                 Cosmonaut
               Occasionally
       She's a stargazer or an
                 Astronomer
              At the same time
  She dives into the vast blue
                    Ocean
      She loves scuba-diving
       She cherishes snorkelling
                  Right now
               Her mind is
                      Darkly
                      Cloudy
      ­          But she knows
           Her mind will become
      Stunningly sunny soon
         When she feels alone
        Her heart talks to the
                  Southern wind
      Her heart's sonata is known
                   By nobody
                Her mind contains
                  Poetic imagery
                      Metaphors
                         Similes
                    Alliteration
                Iambic pentameters
                     Nostalgia
                       Conflicts
                         Stimuli
                       Cumulus
                 Inner lexicon
                       And so on
Her heart is as strange as the
                        Universe
My mind is the wonderful creation of the Almighty . I'm extremely thankful to Him.
Farah Taskin Jul 2021
The sparkling stars don't forget the heavens
The spectacular sun doesn't forget to rise


The wind doesn't forget to blow
Rivers don't forget to flow
Glow-worms don't forget to glow


The violin doesn't forget to sound
A lover doesn't forget his beloved

Like that
I want that
You reminisce about
me
I don't want to be forgotten .
Farah Taskin Aug 2022
Rasputin, tsarevich Alexei
you can find them in a book of history

history is like a tireless eyewitness
history is nothing but
ancient
collections
of eternity
seek out
the causes
of French
and bolshevik revolutions

the grandson
of Genghis Khan
Vlad the Impaler
queen Isabella and
Ferdinand
Lawrence of Arabia
they vanished
long ago
you can find them in a book of history
Farah Taskin Sep 2021
under the rain washed
sunny heavens
the heavens are as clean
as a whistle!

lolling in  
the lawn
chair
sipping cappuccino
reading
a love story
enjoying
sensual serenity!
Life sometimes offers good things :)
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
last
night
she lit
a candle
for someone special
it was flickering faintly
she cast
her eyes
to the sidereal mysteries
the starry fireworks
were spellbinding
Farah Taskin Jun 2022
The Creator doesn't give us misfortunes
HE is very merciful
Be grateful


Think clearly
Only
humans are responsible for pain, sadnesses and sorrows
Sometimes
they harm themselves
Sometimes
they harm others
Misdeeds ruin life
Farah Taskin Sep 2021
A princess
lives
in an eyrie
She has a magic wand
So she rollicks
She gazes
at the Pegasus
that disguised as an
aeroplane


The gardenias
the marvel of peru
the hibiscus
the poinsettia
the sweet pea
and the wisteria
electrify her
The warblers
visit her
everyday


She turns springy in spring
She turns sad in winter
She becomes restless in summer
She rises
like a phoenix
from the ashes
Again
she eagerly waits
for spring

She travels
to salubrious
places
She is elusive
It's an autobiography!!! lol
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
every
so often
a sequestered
hideaway
is
the best
place
to soothe me

solitariness
is
totally
free from turbulence
Farah Taskin Sep 2023
Feel fossils
Prioritize dinosaurs like a paleontologist
Aim like an ambitious mountaineer
Explore mountains
Try to touch your dreams
Ignore glochids
Notice the patterns of cacti

Keep in mind
since we are human beings
the superego will be the winner
good things will defeat bad things
sooner or later
After all, life is too short to be unhappy.
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
I pecked a motherless toddler on the puffy cheek
She smiled sweetly
at me
I felt wonderful!

I spent some
time
with the old people
They loved my
company
I felt wonderful!

I played with two cute
rabbits
in a garden
I felt wonderful!

I took the snap of a golden eagle
I felt wonderful!
Feeling wonderful is not very difficult :)
Farah Taskin Dec 2021
Flowers
are my real friends
I know their language
They're
never
crestfallen
Our friendship
is a blessing
Farah Taskin Oct 2021
As a nature lover
I immerse in the greenery
I relish the scenery

The charm of the hydrangeas spreads
The forsythias smoothly toss their heads

The lively leaves hum
The green grasshoppers delicately jump

Hither
and thither
I seek the mirth
I simply
adore the earth.
I'm a Wordsworthian :)
Farah Taskin Dec 2021
the red
rose
has
been

flower

it'll shed

petals

Farah Taskin Oct 2021
keep calm
and watch the spectrum

keep calm
and fall in
love with someone
who deserves you

keep calm
and fly the kite
at afternoon
or the sky lantern
at night

keep calm
and smile
and make it your style

keep calm
and drink
green tea
and write
the poesy
Farah Taskin Mar 2023
I'm one of the pragmatic
examinees
May
The ALMIGHTY
bless
us
We need HIM every
moment
HE does not
need anything

Do you reckon
life is a mystifying
examination?
Do you want
to spread
peace??
Are you kind???


I Simply Love All Mankind.
Farah Taskin Dec 2022
a blue
hue
disperses
pain
in
my
veins
i
see
my
pale
reflection
in
purple
dewdrops
i
don't
know
why
impassive
moments­
are
icy
fogs
i
was
tired
of being
tired
from the
onset
of depression
i
am
fed
up with
my
ennui
Farah Taskin Aug 2021
The succession of well and woe is constantly occurring
Human life experiences
loneliness
There is no exception
Pain
is someone's constant companion
Pleasure is not for all
Sorrow is true
Contentment is imaginary
It's human nature to day dream about sheer delight
Nobody wants obscurity
In spite of that
darkness is inevitable
But
A glimmer of hope emerges from a cloud
At that very moment
we breathe a sigh of relief.
Farah Taskin Dec 2021
It
happened
that
they were
face to face
when
Cupid
smiled
on the sly
The
telepathist
didn't
pretend
The
thought
reader could
apprehend.
Farah Taskin Dec 2022
The parrots
fly
in the boundless
sky
They
will return
to their nests
at dusk
Home sweet
Home!
Their names
are
Heer
Ranjha
Layla
Qays
Shirin
Farhad
Romeo
Juliet
Trist­an
Isolde
Their pupils
are crystalline
Their resplendent
feathers
are iridescent
They gather
the honey
of love
