Women
Have been created as an ATM of men's desire.
Don't let hackers take advantage,
Treat with care and gently.

With his girlfriend,
He wrote her a unique letter.
Dear ex,
Though you broke my heart,
And I ended up being broke at present,
Thanks to you I got to visit my places,
Eat at different restaurant,
Taste some unbelievable dishes,
And visit so many malls and arcades you dragged me to,
In a way it was fun.
Hope your present boyfriend is super rich,
You truly are high maintenance.

It's true
Siblings hearts are connected by love,
However we fight,
Throw things at each other,
Hide each other's stuff,
Spit out insults,
After sometime we are one,
Cannot to without each other,
All smiles and hugs.

My marriage
With my husband was
       ME  N  U
He earned we spent,
I cooked  we ate,
I looked after the household chores,
He took care of all the bills and repairs,
I took care of the children,
He took care of their maintenance,
He treated me with kindness and equity,
I respected and never went above him,
To hurt his male ego.
If he was the head,
I was the neck,
If something needed to be done,
I didn't shout or nagged,
I used a soft approach with feminine charm,
It always worked.
We had our ups and downs,
But who doesn't?

Spending
Time with my grandchildren taught me a
few things,
It's okay to be curious
Leads to learning,
Gives happiness.,
Not to give up hope,
Be determined to get what you desire,
Hugs can help you,
You don't need money to have fun,
When nothing works with parents,
Grannies are plan B

A son
Is yours until he gets married,
Then the rest depends on his wife,
If she values family and embraces you as one,
You are lucky and blessed,
Don't let go of her,
Appreciate and value her,
You get to have your son with you.
Otherwise be prepared  without any expectations,
Financially,
Emotionally and
Socially.

Colleague of mine,
Took me to see his house,
I found it empty of books,
Not a single one,
I wondered she had a soul.

Forgiveness
You prostrate,
Fold your hands,
Bring tears to your eyes,
And ask for forgiveness  from
Allah,
And yet, you are not prepared to forgive your fellow human being.

With all the complaining and nagging,
One party has to be silent,.

Return to earth
I had almost reached the fifth layer of the sky,
When I met Moses with his piercing eyes and staff in one hand,
He looked at me intently and asked,
"Child what are you doing here?"
I replied shyly that I was waiting to go to Heaven.
"Heaven! Laughed Moses,
Allah had already given you Heaven on earth,
You were born in a village with snow clad mountains.
The green trees,
And humming bees ,t
The rustling leaves,
Dancing in the cool breeze.
As the wind plays the harp,
The symphony of the cascading waterfall soothes the soul,
The persistent follow of rivers meandering over rocks give hope,
And the flowers and fauna are nature's beauty.
You left your heaven and family to go to the city,
With it's skyscrapers crowded streets smoggy skies to make money, fame and success,
Nothing happened and exhausted with life you are here to go to Heaven,
Your time is not as yet,
The Angel of Death has made a mistake,
I am sending you back to your hometown,
Appreciate what you have in life.

Good Marriage
Is me n u,
Two souls tied in one knot,
Two hearts one melody,
From dimples to wrinkles,
Sharing and caring,
Even specs and false teeth.
Forgive and forget,
Till death doth us part.

His Girlfriend
Refused to pick his calls,
And blocked him
Saying,' Give me a break."
He sent an advert in a newspaper,
With her name, number and address,
Which read," We buy second-hand clothes and goods here."

His first side of the coin,
His Wealth
Hastily I married him,
After marriage I saw his other side

He didn't want to make his money into

Stubbornness
In the last stage of your life,
You may be in pain, unable or frustrated,
Discard your thoughts and attitude  dear ,
"My way is just better,
I don't need to reason."
Opinions hold you down like a devil,
You just want to have your  own way,
You swear, thrash out and  command,
Your carers are not your toys,
They too have a heart with feelings,
It hurts.
Your meaningless requests for forgiveness,
Doesn't heal the wound.
Your contempt towards your carers,
And foolish actions,
Can disparage your relationships.
So I beseech,
Let go of your demons,
Let your last cup be filled with sunshine,
A sweet tune of falling leaves,
In the gentle breeze of life,
Leaving sweet memories behind.

On her birthday
My neighbour's son came late to wish her
Being always very busy,
Mum sorry I don't  have time,
I have to rush to a meeting.
I will buy you anything you want,
And have my secretary sent it to you.
Son I need only two things,
Your time for me,
And my yesterday's I found time to be with you.
Can you buy me that with your wealth.

Arbaeen
1400 years have passed  since Imam Hussein
sacrificed his head to protect Islam,
Till today the event of Kerbala is remembered vividly,
Kerbala is when there is war against justice and injustice ,
When truth is falsified,
When dignity is crushed.
Kerbala and Ya Hussein  is forever.

Life's like that
I woke up in the morning,
I was chirpy and happy,
My family  was happy,
The doctor came for his monthly visit,
A nut hard to crack.
He checked me,
Everthing was normal,
He was not happy,
So he took my temperature
It read 45°C,
He got excited,
I knew so there is something wrong with you,
You have a high temperature,
But doctor I said,
He didn't listen and called an ambulance,
And shuttled me to his hospital,
My protests went to deaf ears,
I had series of check ups
He came again in the afternoon after lunch,
He took my temperature,
It was 50°C
He wanted to admit me to ICU,
I put my foot down,
In a stern voice I told him to listen to me,
The first time you took my temperature,
I just had a cup of very hot tea,
The second time you took my temperature,
I just had piping hot soup,
There is nothing wrong with me.

In miracles,
You don't know what will
happen in the next second,
Just swim in the sea of belief and faith,
And you will float on waves of miracles,

Allah gives you too much wealth to punish you ,
Knowing your greed,
You will want more and more,
You will never be content,
You can never spend it.
