Gul e Dawoodi Oct 2015
Overwhelmed by thoughts I sit here alone,
Wish to be understood and to be understanding;but that time is gone
There should have been one more chance,
To make everything alright in a glance
Just like others I want to live a peaceful life,
And don't want be the one who's soul feels like killing itself with a knife
Why Should I do that injustice to myself?
And leave the ones who love, crying for help
But what will happen when they'll leave?
And I'll be left alone to bereave
This life has always been so cruel to us,
But I keep wondering how to break this curse.
Just a mess of thoughts in my mind.
Gul e Dawoodi Apr 2015
They say;
no  pain  no  gain
But I don't see any gain
I tried to find it
I thought it might be present in the courts
So I looked for justice
But couldn't find it
I thought it might be present in the
Hard work
So I looked for success
But couldn't find it either
So when I was tired,
I bowed down before my Lord
I asked if I haven't suffered enough pain?
Do I need to suffer again?
I cried,
Asked for help
Cried for peace
My Lord smiled at me and replied:
Dear  child  I  know  you  tried
and  now  you ­ are  tired
but  as  you  see  this  is  all  what  made you  close  to  me
this  is  the   gain
and  that's  why  all  of  this  had  to  ­be
And now I know  as I have untangled this  cord
Your life is the story about you and your Lord
That's not a poem actually. ..it's just a reminder that you need to trust God and love Him for He is the only one who is there for you when the whole world is against you. The pain and the situations,they all lead us to our God and we all experience this at least once in our lives.
Gul e Dawoodi Dec 2014
Humanity is the root
Respect is the stem
Love is a flower
Peace is it's fragrance
Religion is a garden
Hate is a parasite
***** blood of love
vanishes peace
Ends respect
Kills humanity
Makes religion look ugly
Every religion teaches humanity, love and peace. Hatred burns everything but that isn't the fault of any religion.  It's the fault of humans.
Gul e Dawoodi Jan 2015
Afraid  of  this  miserable  world
I  found  peace  in  my  loneliness
Discouraged by the society
And being an insecure mess
To  be  lonely  I  guess,
is  simply  the  best.
Gul e Dawoodi Mar 2016
Words floating on a piece of paper
And thoughts stuck in my head
Can not find a way out
As if the poet in me is dead

Lacking all the vision and wisdom  
How can I claim to have this skill?
Losing myself now and then
Creates a hole that's not being filled

Just to get better at this
I keep wasting papers and ink
But maybe that's not who I am
As being a poet is a beautiful gift
I'm not a poet.
Gul e Dawoodi Jun 2015
Sometimes, life is all about regrets
Regrets about the hearts we break
Regrets about the risks we take
Regrets about the friends we make
Regrets about the words we say
Regrets about the path we choose
Regrets about the things we lose
Regrets about the secrets we share
Regrets about the secrets we hear
Regrets about the promises we make
Regrets about the decision we take
Yet,
no  regrets
Is all we say.
Gul e Dawoodi Jul 2015
Everybody has been hiding behind,
The walls they made to be just fine
In their eyes I see a world,
A secret to be told;a story of some kind
But once they speak out,
I can't explain how beautifully their eyes shine
Every night they sit to watch a shooting star and,
Everyone of them wishes,"I hope for a better future of mine"
Gul e Dawoodi Jan 2015
A Common man with wisdom,
A  rich man with luxuries,
An intelligent student with extra knowledge,
A girl with beauty,
And a boy with looks,
Are all hated secretly
By those who flatter.
Gul e Dawoodi Feb 2015
She was told,
There  is  always  something  special  ­about  what  people  hold
Talented people who are perfect at their job,
And they have a talent that no one can rob
She  thought  she   too  had  something   precious,
Something inside her waiting to be discovered
Tried  to   get   it   all  out,
But ended up soon
Because  she  was  a  moon,
Who  n­eeds  sun   to  sparkle  at  night
Just like that, she had no light,
No  talent  and   no   beauty,
Rough and scattered personality
She  is  losing  faith  in  herself   day  by   day,
Losing every single reason to be gay
Over thinking ruins personality. But what if that's the only thing you are good at?
Gul e Dawoodi Nov 2015
Shout at me and I'll cry,
But soon this pain will die
Call me a disappointment and I wouldn't mind,
Add another regret to my life; I'll be thankful to you for being so kind
Spill out all your anger as I'm here,
These harsh words and this sharp tone, I can bear
Let me suffer from this disgrace alone
And let me question myself why I was even born?
As I sit in the dark to meet these thoughts
We share the misery that we both have brought
Gul e Dawoodi Dec 2017
I am, but just another soul
Not meant for this world
So why am I here, covered with skin?
What do I've to do during this sojourn?
For I am baffled with the idea of life;
As I grow older, I capture moments
I make memories, build a home
And when I finally sit down,
To cherish what I've done so far;
All of it is gone.
Gul e Dawoodi Apr 2015
Some people are not poets
They are poetry themselves

Some people are not authors
They are books themselves

Some people are not singers
They are songs themselves

Some people are not beautiful
They are beauty themselves

Some people are not modest
They are modesty themselves

And

They all exist in this world
But they don't  recognize themselves
Know your worth. Because you are amazing just the way you are.  Don't let your 'speciality' fade because of hatemongers.
Gul e Dawoodi Jan 2015
Sorry*  Mom  for  being  a  hopeless   daughter
For  not  being  able  to    share  your­   burden
For  being  so  childish
For  being  a  ­bad  girl
Your  only  girl
Sorry  Dad  for  not ­ being   pretty
For  being  so  stupid
For  being  a  bur­den
For  being  a  worry
For  not   being  an   intelligent  girl
Your  only  girl
Sorry  Mom  and­  Dad  for   being  a  disappointment
For  being  your  girl
Yo­ur  only  *girl
Gul e Dawoodi Feb 2017
I fail to see what's hidden behind,
Smiles, and faces so good at pretending
Long have I been familiar with these names ;
But this unfamiliarity is never ending
Felt the warmth of compassion as long as we talked
Then, their shadows faded and left me thinking;
Is this what they mean by amity  ?
To be held close for a moment;
And then be left alone the other second
And as I dug deeper and deeper I found,
These memories that I hold on to
Are nothing but a bunch of  **good byes
Gul e Dawoodi Feb 2015
That*  angel  with  a  broken  wing
Sitting  on    broken  swing
Trying  to  hide  her  pain
So  ­that  she  may  gain
The  power  to  fly  again­
But  suddenly  it  rains
And  her  wing  grows  ­again
So  shiny  and  bright
Like  a  very  stro­ng  light
Now  I  see  her  flying  in  the  sk­ies
Higher  than  ever  she  *glides
People come and go.
Some break your heart and some heal it.
But in the end it's just you!
Never let yourself be their toy.
Be strong because you are precious.
Gul e Dawoodi Dec 2016
Crowd of people suffocates me,
Chokes my throat and I can't utter
All I see is smiling faces;
Laughters and echoes are all I hear
But they fail to see my existence,
As if I'm not present there
Nor can I make a sound,
Unable to be found
Trying so hard to over come this struggle;
I cry with silent tears
Sometimes, it's hard to control anxiety and you don't even know where it comes from.
Gul e Dawoodi Dec 2014
Thank God for blessing us with,
What we deserve and what we don't
Thank God for taking things from you,
To bless you with something more precious and worthy
Just thank Him with the true spirit
And then just watch because you wouldn't have to wait!
K! This isn't a poem. But something worth sharing And yup! Point to ponder bcz...we always complain for what we don't have but never say thanks for what we have.
Gul e Dawoodi Dec 2014
I see bloodshed of innocents every day but that's okay,
I see their families mourning for them but that's okay,
I see their mothers still waiting for them but that's okay,
I see those tears and pain every day but that's okay,
I see how they try to sympathize them with money but that's okay,
I see how senseless and emotionless we have become but you know what?
THAT'S JUST OKAY!
And maybe that's because we don't care for ourselves anymore.
Gul e Dawoodi Oct 2015
Remember how we all used to sit together for the dinner?
Tasted it equally whenever life offered something bitter
Well, I don't remember this, as it all never happened,
As the time passed, things got worse instead of getting better
The pain of each member here is individual,
No one knows how we can defeat the odds by sticking together
Elders have their own standards,
They don't let the young ones fly and cut their feathers
Ego burns within the hearts,
There is no respect and love; that matters
So, tell me how can someone find peace and comfort,
When the family gets scattered
Gul e Dawoodi Apr 2015
How inhumane is the human,
Angels must be laughing
The Globe is a mess,
For them it must be shocking

Every year the child celebrates Mother's  day ,
But the respect for her with every passing day is reducing
What a great love for mother this is, angels must be mocking

A law has been issued for everyone,
But I don't see anybody following
What's wrong with the human?
Angels must be talking
Double standards are infinite . Keep it up people!
Gul e Dawoodi Feb 2016
Blur images of the good old days,
Somewhere inside my head they play
My mind feeds on those memories to be happy,
As it all accompanies me on my way
The scent of those perfumes father used to bring for us,
And the sweet taste of chocolates on early mornings was a great joy
Good old friendship with pure intentions,
That's hard to be found today
I wish I could make it all happen again,
To bring those moments back how much do I've to pay?
That's not just what we call nostalgia
That's the thing about memories, that they always stay
Gul e Dawoodi Dec 2014
I am a girl who stays at home all day long.
I go to college but still act like school kids.
I like to make weird noises and weird faces in front of the mirror.(and my room locked)
I am very shy.
I never have any idea about anything that happens around me, always lost in my lame thoughts.
I like to  text my friends but they don't reply instantly and that makes me mad.
I am so dumb and feel like I am never going to be perfect enough for someone.
My friends think that I am a nerd. I don't know why they do that.
That's all :)  :p
Note: it's a challenge.  If you like it then write about yourself a little bit. And      
don't forget to use these hashtags. :)
Gul e Dawoodi Jun 2015
In*  the  night  when  the  moon  arrives
The  sta­rs  welcome  the  queen
They  seem  so  happy 
 a­s  they  twinkle  and  pass  smiles
I  wish  I  ­could  join  their  celebrations   for  a  while
The  night  sky  looks  like  a  ­heavenly  city
In  the  saddest  nights  the  moon­  seems  divine
I  wish  and  I  only  wish
   ­when  the  earth  rejects  me
This  sky  would  s­olace  me
  and  tell  me  that  everything   is  *fine
The only thing that makes me happy when I feel sad and alone.
Gul e Dawoodi Mar 2017
There are gloomy sunsets;
And sometimes even the moonlight is enough
A home far away from the place where I live
A scar from the past which I never had
"Maybe  I've  lived  through  this  feeling  bef­ore"
I say, as I try to find a way to escape the castle of my thoughts; a secret door
As much as I feel terrible;
As much as this life has become a riddle,
I wish I could do better to make everything okay
The masks behind which I used to hide, have become a reality today
Who I am now is not what I dreamt myself to be,
Or maybe I never knew what I really wanted to become
You know our lives are so preplexed,
It's difficult to guess, what comes next.
Gul e Dawoodi Aug 2015
You see me as a land of horror
A land of misery, a land of terror
But you should know I am much more than that
You should know that you're at error
The beauty of my mountains and
The vastness of my meadows
A perfect peace for those shattered
The bravery of my soldiers and the stories of my martyrs
A perfect example for those cowards
The hospitality of my people and the love for the visitors
A perfect happiness for those gathered
The four weathers and the mirth of seeing a clear night sky
A perfect trip for those who visit
There's much more but I have to end it here
I want you to come by yourself and discover!
Pakistan is not just about what you see in the news.
Gul e Dawoodi Apr 2015
This world, these creatures and me
I wonder if all of this is a dream
Where I  run on a road of darkness
Trying to follow  that gleam
So I may finally get out of this atrocity
Where I can not even scream

I do not know if I can achieve
These set points and goals
I do not know if I can win
In all of this struggle
It's like being in a world of wizards
When you know you are a muggle

But still I have to try
I have to breathe
Uh! I Hate Myself for over-thinking.  
This makes me go crazy most of the times.
Gul e Dawoodi Mar 2017
They thought that wall is hard to break,
And all their might shall go to waste
As he never showed affection,
As if he never felt the pain
But deep down he knew the secrets;
That all of them had been hiding from themselves
He with his brilliant observations,
Deduced the most onerous cases
But when he met a man of pure heart
A man whom he called his partner, his right arm
He finally found his missing pieces
His life became much more than riddles and mazes
The man whom he called his best friend
Made him see the hero he was
And that's how their adventures begun
The stories of the two wisest men in London,will never end.
Gul e Dawoodi Jun 2015
Unheard songs are most beautiful
Unseen beauty is most attractive
Untold story is most interesting
Unshared sorrows are most painful
Let me ask if you would like to sing to me the sweet melody?
If you would like to let me see the fulgurant beauty?
If you would like to let me hear the unheard echoes?
If you would like to let me know the meaning of grief?
Let me in
Open the door
Don't be afraid
You'll feel better, for sure
Because  you  have  got  every  right   to  be  happy
Dear,  you  don't  need  to  be  ­depressed    *anymore.
P.S whenever you are feeling down:
Be nice to yourself and don't forget to hug a potato.  ^-^ lol. Joking.
Gul e Dawoodi Sep 2016
Have you ever tried to turn your thoughts into art ?
Like words on paper or colours on chart?
It's not that easy to tame the wild thoughts;
And make something beautiful out of them
But I know you can be extraordinary ,
You can be smart
You can make a world of your own and bring it to life
Because words can speak
And paintings can breathe
Not everyone can understand what you are trying to tell;
Through all those signs and all that ink
But don't  stop just because of that
Make these thoughts a source of your art
Gul e Dawoodi Sep 2017
I wish it was easy to let go of the past
To start a new life; to live with a pure heart
Where no one could remind me of what I've lost,
Where no one remembers who I was
Letting me live and embrace new things
Where no one compares me with anyone,
And all that matters would be what is yet to come
I wish I get to live with a hope that stays in the darkest of the days
And do not let me lose my faith
I hope I get to love the ones in my life
And erase all the hatred left, before they all bade me goodbye.
Gul e Dawoodi Aug 2015
What*  a  feeling  of  helplessness  it  is
When  you  can  not­  say  what  you  feel
And  when  you  say  what­  you  don't   *feel
Vow
Gul e Dawoodi Dec 2014
Vow
At the beginning of this year
Me and my life took a vow together
We shall not cheat on one another,
We shall play fair
I tried my best,
But life did what it always does
I lost more than what I lost in last year
So I took a vow at the end of this year,
Not to trust life
Because it's so unfair!
Gul e Dawoodi Apr 2015
What if?
I want to embrace you and you push me away
What if?
All I want from you is to stay
What if?
I disappear one day
What if?
This is the last goodbye I say
What if?
I  become nothing but clay
What if?
Without me your life moves on anyway
what if?
I stop expecting and quit this play
what if?
This all makes you feel gay
Gul e Dawoodi Oct 2017
All my thoughts and all of my poems;
end up on the exact same line
Do we keep stumbling over the rocks till we die?
Or does everything at the end turns out to be fine?
Are we becoming who we wanted to be?
Or are we mere puppets tied to strings?
What life tries to teach us as we live?
Since all I see is struggle as I wait for time to be kind.
Gul e Dawoodi Jan 2015
All your armies,
All your soldiers,
All your tanks,
All your guns,
Against a boy, holding a stone
Standing there, all alone
In his eyes,
I see the sun,
I see the moon,
And I wonder,
I only wonder,
Who is weak?
And who is strong?
Who is right?
And who is wrong?
I wish and only wish
That the truth had a tongue.
Dedicated to the children exposed to the wars. I haven't written it. Just read it somewhere and wanted to share it with you.
Gul e Dawoodi Mar 2015
Skeletons walking and a scary scene
But I am used to it for I have seen
Myself with a mask of  pretension
It owns my soul and I am a slave now
But believe me if I do something wrong
I don't have any bad intention
Dislike me,hate me or just snub me
But you see the globe and it's  revolution
So when it all comes upon you
then just do the same without any hesitation
Gul e Dawoodi Jun 2015
In my childhood, you taught me
Not to shout and not to lie
But this is what you did
Can this act be justified?
I never said anything out of respect
But main reason is that I was horrified
If I do something wrong I will be punished
But if you do the same thing, is that fine?
Yelling at each other is all what you did
And expect me to forget about it and pretend that I don't mind?
You loved me one moment and disgraced me at another
And left me crying and thinking you are  unkind
This is the story of a child
Whose parents think as if their child is blind
Although parents love their children more than anything and do their best to provide a perfect atmosphere for them to learn and grow but...exceptions are always there!
Gul e Dawoodi Aug 2015
Everytime when I cry
I ask myself 'why?'
Why it all have to be this way?
Why I have to be a part of this play?
Why someone has to be a joke every day?
Why don't people just stay away?
Why I have to be strong anyway?
Why everybody here always says
'It's okay'?
They tell me to stop being so over sensitive
But nobody  understands what's going on in my head
They tell me to forget and move on
As they don't seem to care
Every night I give up
Give up before this emotionless  society
And close my eyes while hoping  for a good  **day
Now I know why I don't like people.
Gul e Dawoodi Dec 2014
Lying in my bed at 9:00 pm
Recalling the sweet memories,
Some people gave me
A smile appeared on my face,
A tear ran down my face
That feeling of helplessness,
Took away my happiness
My mind was filled up with questions,
Why this all happened?
Why they had to leave?
These questions didn't let me sleep.
Good thing happen seldom
Good people leave often
But leave behind them sweet and unforgettable memories.  <3
But this is really  hard to understand why this all happens?
Gul e Dawoodi Dec 2014
In the quest of finding out what I really am inside,
I am losing what I have,
And now I realize that I have already lost,
What I had and now,
I don't know what I was searching for.
I know that makes no sense.You might think that it is not a poem.And you are right!  That's not.  :) these are only my lame thoughts.
Gul e Dawoodi Mar 2017
Don't we all wonder that even when we die
What will people think about us
What will they say?
Will they talk about our pretty faces and perfect smiles?
Or will they talk about how many times we lied?
Will they finally appreciate our inner beauty?
Or will they count all those years we lived by?
What have we done to make ourselves count after death?
Will they remember our names after a day?
But as I think more about this; my head starts exploding
For a person so invisible; so diffident
It's painful to swallow that even his death won't make any difference.
Gul e Dawoodi Dec 2014
I live in a world where CARE is just a word
I live in a world where LOVE is just a word
I live in a world where HATE shouldn't exist
I live in a world where REVENGE shouldn't exist
Yes, I live in a world where MEN live
But HUMAN is just a word.
Today, how many of us really know the meaning of these words?  I myself don't know the actual meaning of these words.Because if we knew... our world wouldn't be like this.
Gul e Dawoodi Jan 2015
Desire** is yours yet you **** it for others,
What you want,
And what you need,
Depends on what others think,
Life is yours yet you live it for others,
And if you fail to do so then,
Why to blame society?
When it's your family !
We spend our entire life thinking about what others want from us and keep trying to fulfill the demands of our family to keep them happy and content.  And in all this struggle we fail to live our own life.
Gul e Dawoodi Jul 2015
When I'll finally leave this place,
And the life will continue to move on with the same pace
You'll always be in my memories,
You'll always be there to fill that space
I know  I'll be forgotten by you,
But I'll always remember this face
A part of my life and a fragment of my dream,
Your laughter will echo in my ears; and these memories will chase
My Crazy fellows!
Gul e Dawoodi Mar 2017
Your*  ignorance   was  enough,
To  teach  me  that  silence  is    bliss
Your  self  centered  world  taught  me;
­That  caring  is  a  waste  of  emotions
Now  all­  I  am,  is  a  numb  being
As  for  you, I'­ll   never  be  the  *same.

— The End —
