True Charity
Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2019
Give in such a way  that what you give with your right hand your left hand is unaware about it.
Plus when you give thank the person for taking it from you,
For that person is doing you a favour for accumulating your points in God's  presence.

Not Allowed
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2020
I almost died in a car accident,
I saw the Angel of Death take my
husband with him,
I desired to leave the world too
with my beloved .
The conductor refused me to board the bus,
Saying my name was not on the list for almost twenty years to come.
So here I am writing poetry on HP.

That 1%
Salmabanu Hatim May 2019
They say 99% is hard work and 1% is only luck.
That 1% makes all the difference in your life.
That 1% decides the fate of your  99% hard work.
Ultimately HE decides to give you that 1% or not.
Behind every successful  person is that 1% hand of God.

Open book
Salmabanu Hatim Jul 2018
Life should not be an open book,
It would be relegated to a shelf,
Covered with dust,
No one interested to turn a page to read till the end.
Life should have ups and downs,
Spiced with sorrow, happiness,
Tears and laughter.
Life  should be like a movie,
Full of drama and action,
With fear full of suspense,
A little bit of horror,
Never forget to sprinkle it with comedy.

After a romantic Honeymoon
Salmabanu Hatim Jan 2023
My husband had only four words to say,
You cook,

I wash he irons
I dust he hoovers
And I spend he pays.

Happy Valentine To H.P
Salmabanu Hatim Feb 2020
On this day of Valentine,
Be mine,
I love you still,
I always will.
First Valentine was celebrated by lovers,
Now, even by others,
Why not,
Love me, love me not.
Love is universal,
An entity needed by all,
As Jesus said,"Love All."
Love is a sign of a red heart,
Send the cupid's dart,
To your romantic lover,
Mother,father, sister or brother,
And friends that matter.

Nosy
My neighbour knew more about me than I or my husband,
So when she came to chat over a cup of tea,
I would hint to her what I wanted for our anniversary or birthday a few days before,
By evening all the neighbourhood would know,
Even my husband who is forgetful,
So hubby has no excuse.

And after marriage it takes a wife a few minutes in his arms ,
To make him forget mama,
